3. DESIGNATION
1. Mower without swat conditioner/rollers is equipped with „Perfect Cut” cutterbar. Table 1
provides differences in mowing height depending on angle at which cutterbars operate.
Tab. 1. Mowing heights depending on cutterbar and its inclination angle
„Perfect Cut”
Cutterbar
0 angle 3° inclination 5° inclination
 Rotational suspended disc mower is designed for mowing the following: common grass,
medick, etc on meadows and on stone free fields as well as forming swath out of these. Meadow
being mowed should be even, previously prepared by rolling. With advantage of high grass the
first and the second row should be cut at height of 6 - 7 cm, while with great share of lower
grass – at 5 cm. Therefore, the final row should be cut a little bit higher so 7 - 8 cm from the
ground.
 Mower with swath conditioner/rollers is equipped with „Perfect Cut” cutterbar.
 Trailed front mower with swath conditioner/rollers is designed for mowing the following:
common grass, medick, etc on meadows and on stone free fields as well as forming swath out of
these. As a result of shifting the consequent forage layers due to operating flails/roller grass
stalks are being broken and/or crushed as well as are loosing wax layer. It makes grass drying
process simpler and faster by approx 30 - 40%. Rollers are particularly recommended for
mowing papilionaceous grasses such as medick.
 Meadow being mowed should be even, previously prepared by rolling and other processing.
NOTE: Mow very rare grass with zero angle inclination.

Fig. 2b. Design of KDC 300 S and KDC 340 S trailed disc mower with swath conditioner
Fig. 2c. Design of KDC 300 W and KDC 340 W trailed disc mower with swath conditioner
Hitch (14) is designed to mount the mower on a tractor. Drive onto cutterbar (4) is
transmitted from the tractor's rpm through PTO shaft onto intersecting axis gear (19), drive shaft
located on tiller (13), wide-angle PTO shaft (6) onto intersecting axis gear (20), cutterbar drive shaft
(5) and intersecting axis gear (7). Cutterbar has discs mounted with two rotary knives each. Extreme
most discs have additionally mounted swath guiding drums. Moreover drive from tractor's rpm
through intersecting axis gear (20), drive shaft (10) and chain gear (9) is transmitted onto swath
conditioner (3a) or rollers (3b). Cutterbar is mounted on linkage (1). Protective guard (16) is
mounted over the cutterbar. Maneuvering with the mower when driving is possible owing to two
hydraulic cylinders (12) which connect tiller to mower's linkage.
Well-proven design and quality materials ensure high reliability and durability of SaMASZ
machines.

5.2. Preparing mower for transport
In order to prepare mower for transport:
1. With use of hydraulic cylinders get mower behind tractor.
2. Lift mower's side guards to vertical position (Fig. 8a).
3. Lift cutterbar by means of cylinders.
4. Close hydraulic valves located nearby cylinders (Fig. 8b).
5. To meet safety precautions concerning transport on the public roads and valid regulations the
mower should be equipped with the following portable warning-light plates, consisting of panel
mounted in the upper guard socket (to be ordered optionally). Panel consists of warning plate
with mounted white light on the front and red one and reflexive light facing the rear.
6. When maneuvering, pay special attention to area around tractor-mower aggregate.
7. When driving in the evening electric installation should be connected to lights mounted on
panels.
NOTE:
When transporting the machine, levers of cut-off valves must be closed.
Thanks to it, the mower is protected from accidental dismantling on
unexpected motion of both the tractor and the mower – in worst case, it
might cause cracks to hydraulic hose and lead to an accident.
