Trailed plain disc mowers
Highlights
User-friendly - easy to operate EXTRA cutterbar Responsive kinematics - excellent ground following 17⁰ sideward adaptation Simple attachment to tractorDescription
Vicon EXTRA 500 series, with 3.2-4.0m working width, is easy to operate and has a low power requirement, which reduces fuel consumption by allowing the mower to be used with smaller tractors. Due to the independent active suspension, the EXTRA 500 series has a remarkable ability to adapt to ground contours. This technology improves grass flow and is gentler on the crop. It also helps protects the cutterbar from any unforeseen obstacles. EXTRA 500 has a sideward adaption range of 17° in total. This generates many benefits while working on hillsides or controlling the unit on headlands.
Features
- Exceptional ability to adapt to the ground conditions
- Ensures an even pressure across the entire cutterbar in uneven conditions.
- The range is 17’2” upwards and 8’4” downwards
- Sideward adaption which allows a movement up and down of 8.5° degrees to each side – in total 17°.
- Generates many benefits when working on hillsides or along ditches, and also makes it easier to control the unit on headlands.
- The EXTRA cutterbar is designed for low maintenance and offers a very quiet operation.
- Operators will immediately love the virtually quiet operation of the new cutterbar – convenient during a long and busy working day

- The gearbox is fixed to the mainframe in order to ensure less movement during operation
- Provides unlimited rotational movement between the machine and the tractor.
