Kverneland 4336 Mower Conditioner (MoCo)
The Kverneland Mower Conditioner, fondly known as the MoCo, is a favourite among hay and alfalfa producers. It guarantees faster dry-off times by effectively conditioning the crop while mowing. Its design ensures clean cuts, minimizing soil contamination.
Trailed mower conditioner with centre pivot drawbar.
Including features such as a semi-swing conditioner, low maintenance cutter bar, SuperFloat suspension, BX Auto-Swather belt (optional), and FlipOver wide-spreading (optional), the Kverneland 4336 is ready to meet every request with exceptional performance.

Roller conditioning effectively cracks stems and their wax coating, while preserving the nutritious leaves. This in turn facilitates an even drying pattern and utilization of the forage.
