1. INTRODUCTION
The Lely Splendimo 900 M is a double mower designed to be used with a Lely
Splendimo 320 F front mower to cut fodder crops.
The range of operation of the Lely Splendimo 900 M is between ± 20° from the
horizontal (relative to the tractor), and can be driven at speeds up to 20 km/
h. Central suspension of the Splendimo enables the Lely Splendimo 900 M to
follow ground contours accurately. An anti-shock device protects the machine
from damage if it hits obstacles during mowing.
A headstock connects the mower to the tractor. The headstock contains
catergory III double linkage pins to adjust the position of the mower behind the
tractor.
The Lely Splendimo 900 M has:The Lely Splendimo 900 M has:
• Two cutter bars
• A hydraulic control system
• An adjustable ground-pressure relief system.
Various optional extras are also available. Refer to Optional Extras Lely
Splendimo 900 M (page 1-3).

Figure 1. Overview of the Lely Splendimo 900 M
1.1 Cutter Bar
The cutter bar contains the mower units. The modular design of the cutter bar
enables quick and easy replacement of mower units and drive shafts if they
are damaged. The mower units are connected to each other by a rod.
1-2 Introduction
M-H021.1004EN

The first mower unit is driven from the top. A spring-steel shaft then transfers
the drive from the first mower unit to the other mower units. All mower units
are directly driven by this shaft.
The mower units turn in pairs, either clockwise or counterclockwise.
The mower knives are connected to the mower units by the Splendimo Clip
quick-release system. This enables easy replacement of mower knives.
1.2 Hydraulic System
The hydraulic system raises and lowers the cutter bars. It also permits
operation with one cutter bar in the headland position.
When the hydraulic system is set to the floating position the cutter bars can
closely follow ground contours.
1.3 Optional Extras Lely Splendimo 900 M
1.3.1 Wear Plates
Wear plates can be installed on the bottom of the skids to reduce wear of the
skids. The wear plates are available in thicknesses of 4 mm or 8 mm.

Figure 2. Wear Plate and Topping Skid
1.3.2 Topping Skids
Topping skids can be installed on the bottom of the skids to raise the mowing
height approximately 3 cm. This is used for topping or when the mower is used
on rough ground, and reduces damage to the cutter bar by stones and other
debris.
If topping skids are installed, position 2 or 3 of the parking jack must be used.
1.3.3 Agitators
Agitators can be installed on the mower discs to improve the crop flow across
the cutter bar in certain circumstances.

Figure 3. Agitator
1.3.4 Crop Divider
A crop divider pushes the crop that has not been mown to the side of the mower
and prevents an accumulation of grass on the mower.
This is useful when the crop is extremely long or when the crop lies down.

1.3.5 Swath Wheel Kit
A swath wheel kit limits the width of the swath.
