1 INTRODUCTION

The LELY SPLENDIMO TC disc mower/conditioner is used
for mowing grass lands. Mowing on slopes up to approx. 30°
up and 30° down is within the machine's capability.
The machine is built up of a cutter bar and a conditioner unit.
Depending upon the application, the cutter bar is fitted with
type A or type B discs (fig. 1). The cutter bar is composed of
cutting units according to the modular Lely system. These
elements as well as the intermediate spacers are torqued
together by a connecting rod.
The first cutting unit is driven from the top. Different cutting
units are used for the different directions of rotation called
"S" or "N" (fig. A-2). A springsteel shaft, which is driven
from the first cutting unit, drives the other units of the cutter
bar.
Cutting units rotate either to the left or right. Standard
configurations are shown in fig. 2.
If required, the cutting units of the SPLENDIMO TC mower/
conditioner with "S" model discs can be fitted in a different
configuration (depending upon the combination of disc/
knife).
The conditioner unit comprises of a rotor fitted with fingers
made of an impact-resistant synthetic material, an aluminium
hood with swathboards as well as a crop inlet plate for
adjustment of conditioning intensity.
The conditioner unit operates over almost the full cutting
width. Crop treatment is such that patches of the waxy layer
on the stem are removed and that thick stems are broken. The
crop is slightly turned and laid down behind the machine in
an airy, narrow swath. There is a minimum contact between
the crop and the moist field and there is no need to drive on
mown crops.
The SPLENDIMO TC mower/ conditioner can be controlled
with just one hydraulic ram.
A breakback device prevents damage to the machine if an
obstacle is hit.
