New Centre Mounted EXTRΔ Disc Mower

Vicon’s latest addition to its disc mower range is the new centre mounted disc mower, the new EXTR∆ 336. With 3.55m working width, centre suspension and 125° vertical transport position the new disc mower is boosting improvements on a number of important areas.

The new EXTR∆ 336 shares the sleek design of the rest of the new EXTRA 300 series. The new attractive colour combination of the EXTR∆ 300 series with tarpaulins in red and black gives a modern look and stronger link to the range of mower conditioners, already applying this design.

The latest generation of the EXTR∆ cutterbar is fitted to the 300 series, offering unmatched cutting performance thanks to the triangular three-bladed discs. Also the EXTR∆ cutterbar offers smooth low noise operation.

The EXTR∆ 336 is folded hydraulically into a 125° vertical transport position. The low gravity point during transport provides an excellent weight distribution, with the weight of the mower close to the tractor. Also the weight is distributed evenly to each side of the tractor, which protects both mower and tractor from excessive forces during transport. The tractor and mower remains well balanced even at high speed road transport. Transport height is limited, so passing through narrow gateways or under bridges is no problem 

The new EXTRΔ 336 models is centre suspended via a suspension spring, to give an even weight distribution across the complete mower width. Faster and more precise adaptation to ground contours is also achieved because of the centre suspended design. The benefit is less skid wear and optimum protection of the stubble.

The EXTRΔ 336 is factory fitted with the option of being operated with either 540 or 1000 rpm. It requires no additional accessory. All that is needed is simply to turn the main gearbox on the suspension 180°.

To offer maximum protection of the cutterbar the EXTR∆ 336 is fitted with the Vicon feature BreckBack. When encountering an obstacle, the BreakBack will swing the machine backwards and over the obstacle, returning to its original working positon once the obstacle has been passed.
