Based on the 3300-series mower platform, the new models provide fixed working widths of 8.75m and 9.5m respectively, using pairs of beds mounted on a butterfly folding frame.
Where the 5387MT uses 3.2m eight-disc beds, the 5395MT uses 3.6m nine-disc beds. Common to both models is the use of round cutting discs, each carrying two ProFit quick-change blades.
Both models use the proven QuattroLink bed suspension system, which uses a multi-link mechanism that affords 700mm of vertical movement and 30 degrees of transverse movement. This pull-type suspension enables each bed to negotiate demanding ground conditions at high forward speeds. QuattroLink also provides a non-stop safety break-back mechanism across the full working width of the mower bed.
Semi-swing steel tine conditioners are used on both models, and with a range of adjustments for the conditioning plate at both the front and rear of the hood, the two models offer fine-tuning of the conditioning intensity to suit different crop types and conditions.
As non-ISOBUS butterfly mowers, both the 5387MT and 5395MT are supplied with in-cab switch boxes that provide easy set-up, with an extensive range of adjustments that can also be made on-the-move.
Adding the BX belt-type swath grouper to the 5387MT and 5395MT adds yet more flexibility to mowing, as the full cutting width can be placed into a large single swath, with each grouper placing the outer swaths onto the central row.
Raising the BX swath groupers out of work allows three individual swaths to be left – and these can also be spread out across the full working width using the butterfly mower’s integral, wide spreading hoods.
