MOLINE, Dl. John Deere
has introduced a new family of
mower/conditioners (MoCos) that
replace the 1219 sicklebar and the
1360,1460, and 1470 rotary mod
els.
The new 800 and 900 Series
MoCos provide improved flota
tion from a new 3-point suspen
sion system, simple adjustments,
and easy serviceability. The rotary
MoCos feature a new John Deere
designed-and-built modular cut
terbar that provides durable, reli
able performance and service
ability advantages.
The model 820 sicklebar MoCo
has a 9-foot 9-inch cutting width,
the widest in its class, and 6 inches
wider than the model 1219 it re
places. The 920 rotary MoCo also
has a 9-foot 9-inch cut. The larger
930 rotary MoCo features a cut
ting width of 11 feet 6 inches. The
rotary models are available with
either impeller or urethane-roll
conditioning. The 820 features
urethane-roll conditioning.
The new 3-point suspension
system optimizes platform flota
tion for smooth cutting perfor
mance. Float adjustments are
made with a built-in handcrank on
each end of the cartin’ frame. A
simple tumbuckle (or optional
rachet) located on the third sus
pension point makes adjusting
cutterbar angle a one-step process.
In addition to float and cutterbar
angle, roll pressure and windrow
width can also be adjusted without
tools.

Deere Introduces Mower/Conditioner
hances the maneuverability of the
MoCos and eliminates the need
for an equal-angle hitch. A “Pow
er-Cushion” spring capsule in the
front section of the tongue pro
tects the telescoping hookup and
the tractor PTO. The spring in the
power cushion compresses if the
tractor hookup “bottoms out,” for
example, during a turn while
climbing a steep incline. Tongue
and lift-cylinder locks ate provid
ed for transport, servicing, and
storage.
The new slip clutch in the main
drive sheave, located at the pri
mary gearcase, has new metallic
linings for increased reliability
and durable performance. The lin
ings are moisture-resistant to
minimize the potential for seizing,
a condition often associated with
organic linings.
The model 820 features a 5-bar
reel that provides increased visi
bility to crop flow through the
platform. The computer-designed,
cast-iron reel cam enhances
smooth reel operation for improv-
ed crop delivery. Reel cam adjust
ments for matching crop release to
crop conditions arc easy to make
by repositioning one bolt For easy
access to the cutterbar, one of the
five reel bars has a quick-release
feature that permits it to be pivot
ed out of the way when servicing
or inspecting cutterbar compon
ents.
New double-hardened, two- rear of the cutteibar for added
tine, narrow-profile guards pro- strength. Steel plates located on
vide improved crop penetration the top and bottom of the cutterbor
and expose more of the knife sec- protection.

don to the crop for clean cutting in
difficult conditions. Non-clog
guards are also available. The en
closed knife drive operates in oil
to minimize wear and eliminates
the need for additional lubrication
or adjustments. Knife speed is
1,650 strokes per minute for
smooth cutting.
The 820’s low-profile transition
deck helps crop flow smoothly
from the cutterbar to the urethane
conditioning rolls. The rolls are
gear driven to ensure proper roll
timing, smooth operation, and re
liable performance.
The exclusive urethane condi
tioning rolls have intermittent re
cessed cleats that provide more
crimping edges than typical chev
ron-style rolls for fast, uniform
crop dry-down. The molded ure-
thane tolls are formed at low tem
peratures so the steel cores of the
rolls remain “arrow” straight The
result is straight rolls that can be
accurately adjusted for consistent
clearance, which promotes uni
form dry-down.
The 920 and 930 rotary MoCos
feature a new modular cutterbar
that is designed and built by John
Deere. The cast-iron modules pro
vide durability and strength.
Should repair work ever be need
ed, the modules can be serviced or
replaced individually.
The modules are bolted to a re
inforcement member across the

The John Deere 820 Sicklebar Mower/CondKioner fea
tures a 9-foot 9*inch cut for Increased productivity and a
3-polnt suspension system that optimizes platform flota
tion and simplifies guard angle adjustments. The standard
5-bar reel and low-porflle transition deck help provide a
smooth material flow to the exclusive urethane condition
ing rolls.
The large-capacity oil reservoir
gives the cuttcrfoar improved cool
ing and tolerance to varying oil
levels. A convenient sight glass at
each end of the cutterfoar makes
checking the oil level easy. A rub

helps maintain the integrity of the
