Applications
FASTER MOISTURE RELEASE
- Ag Shield Recon Hay Conditioners feature an exclusive spiraled roller design that crushes crop stems at every other inch.
- The frequency of this crimping ensures that there is less distance for moisture to travel in order to escape; maximizing moisture release.
- Cuts drying time in half (more for coarser stemmed crops).
PROMOTES MAXIMUM AIRFLOW
- Mower conditioner swaths tend to collapse within 4-5 hours.
- The Recon reconditions and refluffs swaths to promote better airflow.
- The partially dry swaths stay fluffed longer once a Recon conditions them, making for a faster drying process.
- Combined with the Recon’s crimping process, drying crop has never been more efficient.
GREATER CONTROL OVER HARVEST TIME AND FORAGE VALUE
- Using a Recon guarantees fewer days until baling. Using the Recon makes it possible to bale dry hay within 30-60 hrs after cutting.
- The Recon allows you to better manage the weather. If there are 2-3 days before rain is forecast, you can beat the rain and get your hay off the field if you are using the Recon.
- With less days lying in the field you will be able to maximize your Relative Forage Value and ultimately increase your bottom line.
- You can save $50+ per ton by using a Recon hay conditioner and not delaying harvest.
