Effective SemiSwing Conditioning For Quality Feed
What Makes SemiSwing Stand Out Utilising centrifugal force is what makes the Vicon SemiSwing conditioner stand out to other conditioning systems. It offers an aggressive conditioning effect while still offering excellent tine protection and virtually no wear and tear. SemiSwing tines, due to their restricted movement pattern, are designed to encapsulate part of the centrifugal force, and utilise it to keep the tine in position during rotation. The benefits are no movement during rotation and full conditioning effect.
Efficient crop transfer - crop is efficiently lifted away from the cutterbar and moved along the conditioner plate, ensuring aggressive conditioning effect.
The very large dimension of the conditioner plate supports effective conditioning and uniform crop movement towards the rear of the machine.
The steel tines will stay in a fixed position during normal work, allowing for an aggressive conditioning effect.
The tine’s swing design allows large obstacles to pass through without interfering with the rest of the conditioning process.
The full width conditioner allows for efficient crop conditioning and
reduced fuel consumption.

22kg of force is required to pivot the SemiSwing tine backwards.
Excellent Tine Protection - No Downtime or Maintenance When encountering obstacles, the SemiSwing steel tines are able to pivot backwards and let obstacles pass through. This allows large obstacles (103mm) to pass without breaking the tines. This simple system minimises down time and reduces the risk of broken tines in the crop.
This means the tine will stay in a fixed position while conditioning crop. This design minimises the tines movement during rotation, allowing for virtually no wear and tear on the brackets while still providing a full conditioning effect.
Reduced wear and tear – no constant movement of conditioner tines – virtually no wear on brackets or tines.
“ No maintenance – effective conditioning”
Once in working position, the tine is locked by the centrifugal force. This allows each tine to stay in its´ full working position.
The angle and position of the SemiSwing tines ensure the best possible crop transport. The crop is moved away from the conditioner rotor and towards the conditioner plate. This results in a reduced number of blockages and full utilisation of the conditioner plate.
Get the Full Conditioning Effect with Minimum Blockages Vicon’s SemiSwing tine conditioner is an aggressive full width conditioning system. When the rotor starts rotating, the SemiSwing tines will instantly move into their working position and stay in a fixed position.

Heavy or Light Crop The front end (1) is adjusted according to amount of crop. In heavy, tall crop the conditioner hood is opened, to avoid blockages and ensure smooth efficient flow. In short crop, a smaller opening is preferred. Aggressive Conditioning or Fuel Saving The rear end (2) allows adjustment related to power consumption and aggressiveness of conditioning. A large gap between conditioner and hood means less aggressive conditioning and minimized power consumption. A small gap is chosen when very aggressive conditioning is preferred.

Gentle Roller Conditioning
Preservation of Nutritional Value Roller conditioning provides gentle, yet effective handling of fragile crop such as alfalfa or clover. Roller conditioning effectively cracks stems and their wax coating, while still preserving the nutritious leaves. This in turn facilitates an even drying pattern and full utilisation of the forage.
Chevron Rubber Rollers The 225mm diameter wide rubber rollers, made from highly durable polyurethane, are vulcanised onto a steel core. This process guarantees straight rollers that will not twist out of shape, regardless of the force transmitted onto them. The chevron pattern actively directs the crop away from the cutting discs, which enables the best possible cutting quality, while limiting the power requirements needed.

If an obstacle is encountered, the
roller pressure will be momentarily relieved, which separates the rollers and allows obstacles up to 60mm to pass without damage to the rollers and without having to stop mowing.
Both conditioner rollers are driven by a permanently lubricated, low maintenance, closed transmission.
Chevron-pattern rollers, ensure uniform conditioning across the complete working width.
Full-Width Conditioning The Vicon machines feature two full-width chevron, counter-rotating conditioning rollers, with the top roller located further forward than the bottom roller. This unique design ensures optimised flow of material from the cutting discs toward the rear, making complicated systems with extra guiding rollers, as seen in other systems, obsolete. Additionally, the full-width design allows for the distribution of crop into a thinner mat, increasing the amount of crop in contact with the rollers.
The special roller configuration, with the top roller located further forward than the bottom roller, provides outstanding upwards flow of crop. No need for an extra roller.

Hydraulic Adjustment of Overlap – Maximise Your Mowing Capacity
Vario Means More Productivity EXTRΔ 736T Vario is fitted with hydraulic SideShift integrated into the carrying arm allowing each mowing unit to move 400mm. To easily compensate for changing field conditions, the adjustable overlap is designed as a telescopic arm, directly into the suspension.
Unlock the Full Potential of Your Mower Ensuring the correct overlap between front and rear mower is essential to maximise your mowing job. Too little overlap immediately causes problems when field conditions change. Too generous overlap limits you from utilising the capacity of the mower combination to the maximum, eventually leading to reduced productivity.
Adjust on the GO Adjusting the overlap is quickly done hydraulically from the tractor cab, and the chosen overlap is easily registered from the scale on the suspension arm. Increase overlap when mowing odd sized fields, going around corners or operating on slopes to ensure no stripes are left behind. Reduced overlap on flat and even fields to improve performance and cutting width as much as up to 10%.

To easily compensate for changing field conditions, the adjustable overlap is designed as a telescopic arm, directly into the suspension. During mowing operation the carrying arm always remains even to the ground, giving the mowing unit the freedom to instantly compensate and float across uneven ground contours. The true benefit of the suspension concept is that even though overlap is changed, the chosen ground pressure remains the same.
Avoid Mistakes during Headland Turnings When mowing A-B lines with a GPS steered solution the tractor can make sudden counter steers when starting again on headlands if you are not hitting the exact starting point of the GPS tracks. When this occurs, CurvePilot immediately increases overlap to compensate and avoid striping during headland start.
Comfortable Passing Obstacles When mowing up and down the field you will typically mow with the mowing units at the maximum working capacity, leaving very little overlap between the front and rear mowing units. When driving around obstacles in the field, CurvePilot will automatically adjust the overlap and immediately compensates when you make turns in the field.
Full Capacity on Headlands When mowing the headland you typically position the mowing units with full overlap, reducing working capacity, to avoid leaving uncut crop in the field. With CurvePilot as standard you can mow at full working width and utilise the maximum capacity of the mower. CurvePilot will automatically choose the correct minimum overlap.

AutoStop function of the BX belt is activated when raised on headland to reduce fuel consumption.
Master Headlands When the mowing units are activated for headland lift, an integrated belt boost automatically speeds up, to empty the belts before they are raised, leaving a clean and tidy headland. Furthermore the AutoStop is activated once belts are raised, automatically stopping them until mowing units are lowered again, keeping fuel consumption low.
Automatic Adjustment of Belt Speed Vicon BX automatically does the job of adjusting belt speed to working width, for the same uniform swath width, regardless of position of mowing units. If the mowing units are sideshifted to adjust overlap, the speed of the belts immediately adjusts, to compensate for the change in throwing distance needed. When increasing the overlap for mowing around corners, belt speed is lowered to ensure that crop is placed as intended.
Vicon BX can deliver the crop at different working height.
When using one belt only, speed is reduced to avoid crop being placed too far across the middle.

Efficient Suspension Concept Keeps Track of Demanding Field Conditions
Effortless Protection There is no need to stop - or even to reverse the tractor to get the mowing unit into working position again. When engaged the spring loaded design ensures that the Vicon NonStop BreakAway system automatically returns the cutting unit to its´ original working position.
Protection of the Cutterbar Vicon EXTR∆ 600 series is fitted with the Vicon NonStop BreakAway system to protect the cutterbar. The integrated BreakAway autoreset system will protect the cutterbar from foreign obstacles. If an obstacle is hit in the field the mowing unit will swing backwards and up. This gives maximum protection of the cutterbar.

Accurate and Simple Suspension The EXTRΔ 600 series is fitted with a highly efficient suspension system that includes centre suspended mowing units, efficient spring suspension and NonStop BreakAway. Excellent Ground Adaptation The mowing units are centre suspended via a suspension spring, to give an even weight distribution across the complete mower width. The benefit is less skid wear, optimum protection of the stubble and less fuel consumption.
Equipped with optional hydraulic setting of ground pressure.
Work Smarter on the Go For greater operator comfort, the ground pressure of the spring can be set hydraulically from the tractor cab. Easy to adjust, even on the go. With this hydraulic version the tension on the large suspension spring, which controls the ground pressure, is adjusted hydraulically, to increase or lower pressure. The chosen ground pressure level is conveniently registered from the easy-to-read scale. Accurate setting of ground pressure adds to significantly better working result and reduction of fuel consumption, as a mower with correct ground pressure is easier to pull, requiring less power and fuel.
Two Mounting Options EXTR∆ 600 series can be adjusted for optimal operation according to different circumstances, such as field contours or working width of the front mounted mower. To ensure optimal overlap between front and rear units, the mowing units can be mounted in two positions on the suspension arm.

Compact design for excellent view during operation.
NonStop BreakAway To ensure maximum protection of the cutterbar, the Vicon NonStop BreakAway solution is implemented. During normal operation, the cutterbar is angled downwards, but if the NonStop BreakAway is activated, the cutterbar angle changes to a horizontal position, due to the geometry of the machine. This prevents the machine from damaging the ground surface.
Generous headland clearance of 350mm.
Easy Operation Substantial efforts have been made to make daily operation as easy as possible. The clever design of the suspension creates an undisturbed view of the entire mowing area and an excellent overview during transport. A clearance of 350mm is achieved during transport and headland turns.

Centre Pivot Drawbar The EXTR∆ 900CT and 900CR models are supplied with a centre pivot drawbar for mowing both to the right and left sides of the tractor.
This important advantage in mower design allows mowing a field in one continuous process, without the need for constantly opening up new ‘lands’. Consequently time consuming short runs are eliminated and mowing capacity is increased. As is the output of the following machinery, as you can prevent creation of triangular or add shaped plots. Turning on headlands is much easier, because the hydraulically operated drawbar allows the turning circle to be significantly reduced, saving time and reducing the number of instances where cut crop is driven over.
The mower can be operated on either side of the tractor….
... which saves valuable time.
Fixed mainframe and reduced number of moving parts – less maintenance and wear.
A lifting height of 500mm, ensures excellent ground clearance for transport and during headland turning.
The swivel hitch headstock with reversible gearbox provides optimal manoeuvring ability.

Excellent Protection of Ground and Machine
If an obstacle is encountered in the field, the mowing section will lift up and backwards, protecting the cutterbar from damage. When the obstacle is passed, the mowing section automatically returns to the working position. A simple crank adjusts the whole cutterbar assembly up or down to a desired stubble height. An optional hydraulic stubble height adjustment is available. Additional skids are available to increase cutting height.
Vicon Suspension for Clean Cutting Action The EXTR∆ 900 series machines are engineered with the unique Vicon suspension concept. The complete mowing section, including the conditioner, is suspended independently from the main chassis by either two or four long adjustable suspension springs, allowing field tracks and contours to be closely followed.
Easy adjustment of stubble height.
