Just get the Vicon Haying System is all. Because with this trio—A Vicon KM mower/conditioner, one of our heavy-d 1 hay rakes or tedder: and a new Vicon square baler—you can make hay rastei better and more economically. The KM 321, fo instance, is the fastest mower/conditioner in the world. It’s 30 percent faster than other conventional mower/conditioners. A new drive unit lets you operate non-stop. corners with no /elinevibra lon or danger of failure. And even if you’ve got a heavy, -wet crop, the KM 321 won’t plug, and won’t leave you worrying about leaf loss. The Vicon line of rakes and tedders are just as efficient in their own right.
