Over-Center Cam

If debris or a slug is encountered, the over-center cam system on the Models 1372 and 1375 allow the conditioner rolls to automatically separate letting it pass through without having to stop and raise the mower. As a slug goes through, the tension system applies more and more pressure until the cam is over-centered the rolls then open easily letting the obstruction pass through.

The Model 1359 uses a powered roll separation system. If the head becomes plugged, the operator simply stops and raises the machine which hydraulically separates the rolls allowing the plug to pass through. This prevents the operator from having to manually dig out the plug saving time and frustration.
