One of the six checkpoints we traveled through during New Holland Agriculture’s First in the Field Media Event was on their new discbines. New Holland has taken discbines to a whole new level with even more durability and functionality with their two new center-pivot models. Discbine 313 and 316 are designed for cleaner cutting, more efficient crop flow and smoother, more effective conditioning.

• The MowMax II cutter bar offers improved durability and the ShockPRO fail safe system.
• The WideDry conditioning system is 22.5% wider than New Holland’s previous models.
• These models offer simplified drivelines with single drive shaft and advanced shielding with high density, bi-fold upper shielding, reducing the weight by 75%.
• A two-speed conditioning system is adjustable for the perfect hay quality.
• The LeaningEdge flail conditioning allows for even faster drying.
• Those working in energy crops like cane and corn stover might be interested in the new BioMass Kit.

During the media event I spoke with Brand Marketing Manager for Hay & Forage Crop Preparation Products, Seth Doman. Not only did he share more insight into these proven technologies, but also when farmers can find them at their local New Holland dealership.
