farmers weekly/WestMac competition to win a 2.4m
WestMac JF GX-SM Top Dry mower-conditioner worth
£6500. Just read on to find out what you need to do
ITS long been known that the less time mown grass stays in the swath, the less danger its in of being rained on. But while the conventional way to speed up drying is by an additional pass with a tedder or rotary rake, WestMac JFs Top Dry mower-conditioners allow the operator to set the machine to produce a full-width swath to give maximum surface area for drying.
What are the other key features of the prize mower?
• Adjustable relief spring that allows ground pressure to be reduced to 5kg/guide shoe to aid regrowth.
• Strong, self-sharpening profile blades prevent frayed stubbles.
• Easy adjustment of the conditioner plate to give a choice between gentle, moderate and hard conditioning.
• Pendulum suspension that allows the mower to follow any unevenness of the ground.
• Both rough and fine adjustment of stubble height.
Maintenance needs on the GX mowers are low too. The discs are equipped with stone guards and the cutterbar is protected against wear by guide shoes. Moreover a 4mm bottom shield protects the whole cutterbar against shocks.
The self-sharpening knives often last up to 150ha (400 acres). Bearings and gears in the cutter bar are easily replaced and the discs are equipped with combined anti-wrapping and reinforcing rings.
Other maintenance features include:
• Safety canvas designed for strength against wear and tear.
• Breakaway mechanism that provides protection in case of collision.
• Few grease nipples.
• Long-life, easy-to-replace conditioner fingers.
The GX Top Dry range of mowers includes machines with 2.4m (7ft 10in), 2.8m (9ft 2in) and 3.2m (10ft 6in) working width.
The GX-SM mowers can also be combined with a JF front-mounted mower to give a total working width of up to 6m (20ft). The front-mounted mowers are also available as Top Dry spreading mower-conditioners.
