Vicon CM disc mowers bring together two prime requirements of farmers and supply the solution in one machine: larger working widths and low weight. With working widths of 5’6”, 7’2” or 7’10” there is a CM mower to suit any size of farm. They are your guarantee of a substantial mowing capacity at a low power requirement. Sturdy, strong and fully protected on the underside of the cutter bar the CM disc mowers are suitable for any job.

|
Flat cutter bar for improved mowing performance
The CM disc mowers feature a new flatter cutter bar protected over the full width by wedge shaped skids that smoothly guide over obstacles and bumps. The triangular cutting discs are arranged in a more level aspect ensuring an even stubble. This level alignment also guards against double cutting of the crop material (shredding effect) - a valuable factor in limiting losses before pick-up.
|
Three blades per disc for constant cutting
With three blades per disc which actually overlap Vicon mowers are constantly cutting. That means a third less load per blade, an even load on the drive and smoother power usage in addition to producing neat, cleanly cut stubble. Each steel blade is precisely angled to immediately convey the cut crop upwards and over the cutter bar with a combination of mechanical action and air flow.
|
|
Operating simplicity
Just set the cutting height by adjusting the tractor top link, and drive off. A hydraulic
cylinder to raise the cutter bar into the upright position comes as standard - so you need not leave the tractor seat to bring the mower into transport position.
|
Transport Position
Swath easy to pick up
As soon as the crop is cut it is conveyed over the full width of the cutter bar and deposited in a wide swath; so it dries rapidly exposed to sun and air. The drum on the outer disc combined with a swath board create a wide separation between adjacent swaths.
|
|
Horizontal lifting at headlands
A horizontal lifting kit allows the machine to be lifted horizontally at headlands in no time with the aid of the hydraulic lift cylinder. To put the mower in its vertical transport position, the locking device is released from the tractor cab by pulling a rope.
|
Safety first
A re-inforced fl exible protection cover over the complete mower provides safety protection
from flying objects on these tractor mounted Vicon mowers. A spring loaded safety break-back device allows the cutter bar to swing back should it hit an obstacle. Resetting is a simple matter of reversing.
|
|
Minimum maintenance, long life
A long life is designed in. Disc blades are made from hardened high grade steel. A precision-ground cutting edge extends to their entire length for the maximum service
life. What’s more, they are reversible, with a second cutting edge on the reverse doubling
up on value. Each disc is protected with combined stone protectors and skids and the cutter bar itself is protected across the whole of the underside against wear. Double bearings of the cutter disc shafts are mounted in a thick walled bearing housing and the gears within the cutter bar run in an oil bath.

|
Wedge-Shaped Cutter Bar
The “Wedge” shaped cutter bar, with free space at the leading edge, gives less ground resistance and glides smoothly over small obstacles without ”bulldozing”. This feature means that the machine will perform particularly well in soft soil conditions and also allows for a lower cutting height than other designs, if and when required. An extra support bar at the rear of the cutter bar prevents the bar from flexing and provides extra strength.
|
Long Lift Blades
Vicon disc blades are made of hardened high grade steel. A precision-ground cutting edge extends to their entire length for a maximum service life. What is more, they are reversible, with a second cutting edge on the reverse side doubling up on value.
|
Well sealed gears and bearings
|
|
Contra-rotating cutting discs for a perfect cut
All Vicon mower-conditioners have contra-rotating discs. Apart from the
immediate crop transport to the rear the wide overlap ensures that even
in wet conditions no stripes of uncut forage are left in the field.
|
Contra-Rotating Three Bladed Discs For a Perfect Cut
With three blades per disc Vicon mowers are constantly cutting. This
means a third less load per blade and an even load on the drive and
smoother power usage in addition to producing a neat, cleanly cut stubble.
Each steel blade is precisely angled to immediately convey the cut crop
upwards with a combination of mechanical action and air flow towards
the conditioning rotor or rollers.
|
Vicon’s contra-rotating three bladed discs provide a wider overlap,
ensuring a perfect cut.

|
Top Service Hubs
|
Top Service Hubs
Vicon’s new top service hubs provide for simple maintenance. Each cutter head is fully serviceable without having to dismantle the entire bar. These new hubs feature widely
spaced bearings for enhanced load carrying and to help handle the impact of foreign
objects in the crop, baling twine, etc. A unique combination of seals protect the
shafts and bearings against damage from dust and corrosive grass juices.
|
Fully protected cutter bar bottom
A fully protected cutter bar bottom lessens bar wear
in stony, abrasive conditions and
has additional
tough wear strips as standard equipment for an even
longer life.

|
|
|
|
Sturdy Construction
The Vicon CM mowers have a sturdy A-frame. The well proven V-belt drive protects the drive
line and mower bar in case of foreign obstaces blocking the mower.
|
Spring Loaded Break-Away
When colliding with a firm obstacle the mower bar will swing back thus absorbing the heavy shock. By reversing the mower both mower and break-away are reset in the working position.
|
Adjustable Linkage Pins
The A-frame has adjustable bottom linkage pins for better adaptation to the tractor wheel
track.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fast Lifting At Headlands
A hydraulically operated parallelogram system lifts the mower horzontally without moving the
three-point linkage of the tractor. The mowing unit is kept parallel to the ground as it is lifted, so swath damage is eliminated.
|
Wide Mower Bar Operating Angle
The CM mower bar can be operated at an angle of
90° vertical and 45° up and down slopes.
|
|
Wide Working Widths for High Capacity
|
|
Four high capacity DMP disc mowers offer working widths of 7’10”, 9’2”, 10’6” and 13’1”.
|
Fast Lifting at Headlands
A hydraulically operated parallelogram system lifts the mower horzontally without
moving
the three-point linkage of the tractor. The mowing unit is kept parallel to

Adjustable Linkage Pins
The sturdy A-frame has adjustable bottom linkage pins for better adaptation to the tractor
wheel track. Total range 4", 2" left/2" right.
Mechanical Locking Device During Transport (DMP)
When lifting the catch the mowerbar can be placed into its vertical position. In this position the catch will mechanically lock the mower bar during transport.
Spring Loaded Break-Away
When colliding with a firm obstacle the mowerbar will swing back thus absorbing the heavy shock. By reversing the mower both mower and break-away are reset in the working position.

Can Be Pulled By Every Tractor
|
|
The Vicon KM trailed mowers combine a superb cut with high capacity. They are easy to operate and Vicon's Free Float Suspension System ensures excellent ground following in the toughest conditions.
So Easy to Operate
The Vicon KM mowers are easy to hitch up to every tractor. Just drop the pin into the
drawbar. The cutting height is set by turning the top linkage on the left arm and the
operator is ready to drive off. The hydraulic displacement cylinder moves the machine from transport (in line behind the tractor) to working position. Both during transport and in working position the cylinder is mechanically locked to avoid any possible damage to the drive line.
|
Setting the Cutting Height
Easy to Hitch Up to Every Tractor
|
|
|
|
The overhead frame design with the mower suspended by links and coil springs allows
cutting tight to the ground. The mower unit floats over ground contours without uneven
fields damaging or unsettling the machine. When encountering humps or bumps the mower unit lifts and swings back at the same time thus reducing the sudden impact on the mower bar.
|
|
|
Fast Lifting on Headlands
To lift the mowing unit on headlands and during transport. Only one single cylinder is
required. The ground clearance in raised position is 14”.
|
From Transport to Working Position
A hydraulic steering cylinder moves the mower from transport to working position. During
transport and in working position the mower is mechanically locked to prevent any possible
damage to the driveline.

Transport Width Less Than 10"
The KM 4000S has a transport width of less than 10”. Conversion from working to transport position is done hydraulically from the tractor. The KM 4000 S is easily maneuverable
when going through gateways and follows smoothly behind the tractor.
