NK F – Front disc mowers ELHO front disc mowers feature the Pendulum Centre System, which allows the mowing unit to move freely in its support frame. PCS enables the disc mower to be pulled and not pushed, thereby avoiding obstacles due to twisting and rocking. NK VC – Vertical Centre disc mowers ELHO Vertical Centre disc mowers follow the centreline of the tractor when raised, so the centre of balance is as close to the centreline as possible and the combination is stable to transport. All VC models feature patented HydroBalance suspension, which allows the tractor to carry most of the...

ROBUST CUTTER BAR Overload protection The protection of the cutter bar is very important for the operation of the disc mower. To keep the gears of the cutter bar in optimal condition at all times, ELHO has developed a protection mechanism for the drive units of the discs. The disc shaft has a fracture groove between the bearings, which disconnects the shaft if it hits a hard object. This ensures that the gears of the cutter bar remain intact. The wide distance between the bearings provides more strength to the drive shaft of the disc. Adjustable hi-skids ELHO disc mowers come standard with...

Cutter bar support structure A robust support bar extends the life of the cutter bar by reducing impact and bending loads. In the event of a collision, the force of the impact is directed from the high skid to the support bar instead of to the cutter bar. Mowing discs The low profile of the mowing discs ensures a good mowing pattern and prevents impediments from getting under the disc. The oval shape of the discs effectively moves the forage forward. The discs are made of hardened boron steel, and the hardening is done only after welding the cutter bar cleaners. The cutters rotate around...

FRONT DISC MOWERS ELHO front disc mowers are pulled not pushed. They feature an upper support frame to which the actual mowing unit is attached. The mowing unit is free to swing and rotate according to the field surface and possible obstacles. HydroBalance suspension keeps the blade bar at the right weight against the ground at all times. Because the front mower conditioner is controlled by its own hydraulic functions, it can be controlled from the desired location, for example next to the controls for the rear mounted mowers. With the NK 10700 butterfly combination, the front unit can be...

PENDULUM CENTER SYSTEM HYDROBALANCE SUSPENSION HydroBalance is a key feature of ELHO disc mowers. Even if the mower weighs tonnes, HydroBalance uses a cylinder and a gas accumulator to lighten most of the weight of the machine to be carried by the tractor. The suspension prevents the cutter bar from lifting contaminants into the forage by lightly following the field surface. The low friction also helps reduce fuel consumption. ELHO has been a pioneer in the field in developing suspension systems. The Pendulum Centre System (PCS) connects the cutter bar to the upper frame. The lightened...

A front disc mower with suspension that produces clean forage. Watch video Read more The NK 3300 Front features the Pendulum Center System (PCS), which enables the disc mower to move backwards, swing and rotate. On headlands, the disc mower follows the driving line. If the cutting unit hits an obstacle, the suspension reduces the force of the impact by 50 percent. The NK 3300 F closely follows the field surface thanks to PCS and HydroBalance suspension. This light and precise disc mower produces exceptionally clean forage. The NM 3300 F is a good combination with Vertical Centre disc mowers...

SIDE DISC MOWERS ELHO offers a comprehensive range of side disc mowers, from a 2.4-metre wide model to a 3.3-metre model. Some models feature HydroBalance suspension, which allows the tractor to carry most of the weight of the disc mower. HydroBalance helps produce clean forage and save fuel. Side disc mowers are suspended in the middle, allowing them to swing freely. In transport mode, side disc mowers are raised vertically above the tractor’s centreline. This makes them safe to transport by keeping the combination narrow and maintain the centre of gravity over the centreline. Side disc...

RELIABLE SWATHING HYDROBALANCE SUSPENSION ELHO disc mowers are available with optional swathing capabilities. The swaths are made using double endplates for a total of four plates. The plates are high and the technical solution extremely simple and reliable. OPTIMAL STABILITY DURING TRANSPORT Side disc mowers are raised above the tractor’s centreline during transport, so the centre of balance is as close to the centreline as possible and the combination is stable to transport. When fully raised, side disc mowers are also narrow and do not extend beyond the sides of the tractor. HydroBalance...

NKImpressive flow with high driving speeds, also with smaller tractors. Read more The ELHO NK 2400 disc mower is known for its impressive flow, high driving speeds and clean forage. The adjustable skid shoes and HydroBalance suspension enable the cutter bar to follow the field surface precisely without hitting the ground. Side disc mowers are ideal for use also with smaller tractors on the farm. For example, the NK 2400 can be used with a relatively light 40-horsepower tractor. In addition to agricultural tasks, these models are also suitable for maintaining landscapes and mowing roadsides....
