Features may include:
The Most Reliable Rotary Disc Cutterbed Anywhere- A modular cutterbar design with superior crop flow, resulting in less streaking
- A heavy-duty frame and rugged canopy that have a cantilevered design for smooth crop flow across the cutterbar
- Shock hubs, now standard on all four models of DC2 rotary disc mowers
- Roll and flail conditioning options available on all models
Shock Hubs- Spiral steel-on-steel or rubber-on-rubber conditioning rolls provide fast drydown
- Saves time in the field by clearing slugs automatically
- Allows for easy changes in conditioning intensity
- Custom-built windrows or swaths
- Spread the crop out in a wide, fast-drying swath
- Form the crop into a narrow, fluffy windrow that’s ready for baling or chopping
- All adjustments to the swathboard, windrow shields and fluffing baffle can be made without tools
Disc Modules- Bearings, gears and lubricant for each disc module are individually sealed — damage to one module does not spread to another
- Modular design ensures complete gear lubrication, even when cutting on slopes
- Two heavy-duty knives on each disc spin at 3000 rpm to slice through heavy crops
- Knives are reversible for twice the cutting life
- One bolt per knife allows for quick flipping or replacing of knives from the front of the cutterbed — without raising the header
- The steep profile design lifts the crop directly into conditioning rolls
- Discs are austempered for extra hardness and durability in punishing conditions
Bale or Chop Sooner- Spiral steel-on-steel or rubber-on-rubber conditioning rolls provide fast drydown
- Saves time in the field by clearing slugs automatically
- Allows for easy changes in conditioning intensity
- Custom-built windrows or swaths
- Spread the crop out in a wide, fast-drying swath
- Form the crop into a narrow, fluffy windrow that’s ready for baling or chopping

Conditioning Rolls- Applies equal force to the upper conditioning roll arms
- Provides uniform conditioning, regardless of crop thickness
- Intermeshing spiral conditioning rolls have superior crimping and crushing action for faster drydown
- Rubber-on-rubber conditioning rolls are standard on DC92, DC102 and DC132
- Rugged steel-on-steel rolls are standard on DC162, optional on DC102 and DC132
- Easily handle higher crop volume and faster ground speeds
- No-tools crank adjustment
- Changing conditioning roll pressure is quick and easy for greater productivity
- The system releases pressure when the upper roll reaches its maximum opening
Flail Conditioning- Now available with all models.
- Uses tapered flails to pick up crop and rub it together and against the conditioning hood
- Faster drydown because the waxy layer on the stems is removed and moisture is released quickly
- Straight flails release crop more easily than competitive systems
- Produce a more uniform crop mat that lays on top of the stubble
