Maximize Your Haying Window With New 2019 Disc Mower Conditioners

Sep 27, 2018

No two fields are the same. That’s why Case IH is introducing enhancements to new 9- and 10-foot side-pull disc mower conditioners — because every field deserves a customized approach that maximizes haying windows.

The newest updates to Case IH Model Year 2019 disc mower conditioners provide you with the efficiency you need in the hayfield while remaining rugged and versatile. With the latest updates to 9- and 10-foot Model Year 2019 disc mower conditioners, you’ll be able to:

Optimize field time and reduce maintenance: Change knives without hassle with an updated quick-change knife system. This allows you to change knives on the headers in one-third the time of a standard knife system.

Create high-quality hay with optimal cut and crimp: Narrow cutterbar design and improved flotation deliver a high-quality cut and more even windrows for consistent and faster drydown.

Remain productive even in rough and rocky hayfields: New models contain a shock protection system that protects the cutterbar from expensive field failures if an obstacle is encountered, and the fully modular cutterbar system provides superior lubrication compared with competitive models.

Make flexible cutting height adjustments: A new four-pin hydraulic cylinder tilt provides more cutting height flexibility for improved cut quality — and no tools are required to adjust the tilt, for easy in-field adjustments. New adjustable skid shoes are also available for additional cutting height flexibility.

Improve cut width to conditioning roll width ratios: A nearly one-to-one cut width and conditioning roll width ratio creates even and thorough conditioning for faster drydown. No tools are needed to adjust windrow formation, cutting height and conditioning roll pressure, so you’ll be able to make quick adjustments for changing crop conditions.

See immediate improvements in crop conditioning: Roll widths are wider than competitive machines with the same cut, allowing for a thinner crop mat that passes through the system to produce a crop that maintains more sugar and carbs for higher-quality hay and feed value.

Additionally, all DC3 series mower conditioners include a three-year cutterbar warranty for worry-free operation. Talk to your local Case IH dealer to learn more about the added benefits and features of 2019 disc mower conditioners.

Video: Is China Buying US Soybeans + USDA Nov 14th Crop Report could be “Game Changing”

After a week of a U.S./China trade truce, markets/trade is skeptical that we have not seen a signed agreement nor heard much from China or seen any details. There are rumors that China is buying soybean futures & not the physical. Trust in Trump?
12 MMT of U.S. soybean purchases by China by year-end is better than 0 but we all need to give it more time and give it a chance to unfold. China did lower the tariffs on Ag and is buying U.S. wheat and sorghum.
U.S. supreme court could rule against Trumps tariffs, but the Trump administration does have a plan B.
U.S. government shutdown is now the longest in history at 38 days.
But despite a U.S. government shutdown we will be getting a USDA November crop report next Friday and it could be “game changing.” If the USDA provides a bullish surprise with lower U.S. corn and soybean yields and ending stocks that are lower than expected both corn and soybean futures will break out above their ceilings at $4.35/bu and $11.35/bu respectively.
The funds continued their selling in live and feeder cattle futures on continued fears that the Trump administration want to lower U.S. beef prices. The fundamentals have not changed, only market psychology has.
Stocks markets continue to worry about a weak U.S. job market, but you can blame ChatGPT for that. In the future, we will have a more efficient, productive and growing economy with a higher unemployment rate until we have more skilled AI workers.
After 34 new record highs in the S & P 500 and 124 new records in the NASDAQ in 2025 we are back to a correction and investor profit taking as AI valuations may have gotten too stretched near-term ahead of NVDA’s 3rd quarter earnings announcement on Nov. 19th. But this is not an AI bubble.
75% of Tesla shareholders approved a $1 trillion pay package for Elon Musk!
It has rained in South America in the last 7 days, but both the American and European models agree that Central Brazil remains dry in the next 14-days!
