HIGH DAILY OUTPUT IN COMBINATION WITH LOW COSTS

MULCHER MZ semi-mounted rotary mowers with a working width of 4.5-5.8 metres are very popular machines that combine high daily outputs with low power demand. The robust design with hot-dip galvanised frame makes the mower ideal for heavy-duty use and a long service life.

Key properties

A semi-mounted rotary mower with a working width of 4.5– 5.8 m designed for quality mulching of crop residues, unwanted tree seedlings and grasses, with a high daily output.

MULCHING

An essential operation in crop residue management.

Mulching permanent grassland, pastures and meadows
Mulching oilseed rape, cereal and maize stubble field
Mulching unwanted tree seedlings, seeding and land maintenance

Mulching contributes to a balanced growth of biomass, management of ungrazed grass (bad quality forage not grazed by the cattle), it promotes grass offsetting, and also prevents the development of weeds.

In this case, the rotary mower crushes, shortens and evenly distributes the mulched material, which is then better incorporated into the soil and also decomposed faster. Mulching is also important for mechanical prevention of diseases and elimination of pests, such as the European corn borer.

Weeds and self-seeded shrubs and trees thrive on the managed fields. To reduce their occurrence, the land needs to be mulched well to prevent seeding and other unwanted spread.

ROBUSTNESS AND QUALITY OF WORK

Ensures high durability and safety at work.

The MULCHER MZ semi-mounted rotary mowers are highly durable and designed for heavy-duty operations. Hot-dip galvanised frame of the machine provides high resistance to vegetation sap, collision with rocks, or weather conditions.

TWO PAIRS OF BLADES

Perfect material cutting.

Quality mulching requires a large rotor diameter and high circumferential speeds. The MULCHER MZ mounted rotary mower is equipped with two pairs of blades on the rotor to ensure excellent quality of work. The blades can be used both for mulching grasses and processing crop residues.

SMOOTH SURFACE

Prevents dirt from sticking to the machine.

MULCHER MZ can be equipped with cover plates of the main frames. The plates are smooth and minimise the sticking of plant residues on the machine.

CENTRAL WALKING AXLE

For better terrain contouring.

When compared with the standard model, MULCHER MZ can be equipped with a walking version of the central axle. The machine is then able to contour the terrain and maintain the set working width. You can achieve a better effect in combination with the tandem version of the side axles.

FRICTION CLUTCH

An effective protection of the gearbox.

The transmission of the MULCHER MZ semi-mounted rotary mower is protected against damage (for example, in the case of a collision with a rock, etc.) with a friction clutch that automatically stops all the transmission processes. The PTO shaft connecting the tractor with the gearbox is equipped with a friction clutch.

HIGH-QUALITY PTO SHAFT

By Walterscheid.

When manufacturing BEDNAR rotary mowers, we use high-quality PTO shafts by Walterscheid.

TRASH-FAN

Machine cleaning equipment.

The main component is the fan that creates a stream of air and the wind straighteners direct air to the risk areas on the machine surface. The equipment prevents dirt and plant matter from sticking on the machine surface. It improves work safety and reduces time spent with cleaning.

EQUIPMENT FOR MAXIMUM WORK QUALITY

Front fixed knifes, deflectors or armouring.

FRONT FIXED KNIFES
SPREADING DEFLECTORS
ARMOURING

To increase the shredding effect, fixed knifes in the front part of the mulching zone cut the material again, which improves the quality of the mulching.

The spreading deflectors ensure that the rotary mower works perfectly as they evenly spread the mulched material. They prevent the formation of plant clumps and larger amounts of matter in one place.

The MULCHER MZ semi-mounted rotary mower is equipped with replaceable armoured plates that protect the machine frame from damages. Moreover, each rotor is protected with its own cover, which enables to work in an extremely low position above the ground.

Drawbar

The rotary mower is easily connected to the bottom or top tractor hitch. It can also be connected using the K80 ball pin.

Blades

Two pairs of blades provide an excellent cutting and crushing effect. There are two blade models available – grass and corn.

Axle

The central walking axle provides excellent terrain contouring.

Frame covers

Smooth plates minimize the accumulation of plant residues on the rotary mower and facilitate cleaning. The plates are available in painted or stainless steel versions.

Skids

The side skids maintain the set working height.

Hot-dip galvanised frame

Provides an outstanding resistance to aggressive vegetable saps or mechanical damage (e.g., collision with a rock).

Trash-Fan

It prevents dirt and plant matter from sticking on the machine surface and increases the work safety.

OUR INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES

TRASH-FAN CLEANING SYSTEM

The device for continuous machine surface cleaning is mounted centrally on the machine to provide the best possible effect at work, and also compactness during transport.

WHAT DO THE FARMERS HAVE TO SAY?

“We decided to purchase the machine after we saw a demonstration in a grain corn stubble field and meadow grass. We tried competitive rotary mowers in the same conditions, but the quality of work did not meet our demands. Therefore, the MULCHER MZ 6000 was the obvious choice; it worked perfectly in the stubble field as well as in the meadows. Another decisive factor was that the rotary mowers, with a working width of 6 metres does not need such a towing power as the competitive machines.”

Accessories

We know that everyone has different requirements for the optional machine equipment and its expected use. Therefore, you can specify your MULCHER MZ semi-mounted rotary mower to precisely match your needs.

Blades

Corn blades

By combining two types of knives, we have achieved double cutting of tough stalks, such as grain maize, sunflowers and oilseed rape. The stalks are cut at two levels at the same time.

Grass blades

The paddle-shaped blades are suitable for mulching permanent grasslands. The paddle-shaped knives create a suction effect, which lifts the grass run over by the tractor wheels and helps mulching the grass.

AGRONOMICAL GUIDE

CROP RESIDUE MANAGEMENT
Processing crop residues after harvest is important for several reasons. Crop residues are a source of organic matter therefore it is not desirable to simply leave it in the field without attention. Crop residues may be unevenly spread which aggravates tillage or they help to spread pests and disease.
