Mower-Conditioner, Silage Blower In One

Mower-Conditioner, Silage Blower In One MOWERS Mowers (31H) 23-1-28 Zero-grazing cows on his 190-acre stock farm led Rod Ellis to develop what he calls the "Mo Plus", a combination mower-conditioner and silage blower all in one. Zero grazing is catching on fast in England. Unlike rotational grazing, cattle are not allowed onto pasture. Hay is cut fresh on a daily basis and brought to them. For cutting silage grass, the 8-ft. mower-conditioner works conventionally. To cut and load fresh forage to feed to cows, the conditioner hood is taken off and a blower bolts in its place. Cut grass is shifted by the unit's modified flywheel to a forage wagon towed behind.
