Featuring heavy-duty RazorBar™ technology, steel-on-steel conditioner rollers and a strong overhead frame, this tough machine easily cuts through thick, heavy hay while conditioning it to deliver optimum quality.

The Hesston 1363 features the new RazorBar™ cutterbar, one of the strongest cutterbars available on the market today. With a cast-iron spur gear design and a thinner cutter profile, the machine provides a closer cut and reduces scalping. Furthermore, these gears easily handle rocks that might be encountered in the field, significantly reducing the opportunity for cutterbar damage.

Steel-on-steel conditioner rolls crack the plant stem every 2 to 3 inches, breaking the stem open to release moisture and reduce drying time, while preserving leaf quality for hay with optimum nutrient content. A herringbone tread pattern on the rolls feeds the crop evenly on both sides for even windrow formation.

For producers who need crushing conditioner action, rubber-on-rubber rolls are available. Their shallow lug design minimizes leaf damage.  end_mark
