Gain Control Of Your Harvest.

Dry Hay Faster

Ag Shield's Recon is an innovative hay conditioner that significantly decreases the time it takes for your swaths to dry (30 - 65% faster). The Recon's roller design provides unmatched moisture release with its exclusive crimping frequency and can be outfitted with a Mounted Tedder and Side Deflectors for complete control of swath structure and air flow. Ag Shield's Recon hay conditioner gives you more control over harvesting your hay and helps you maximize the quality of your product.

Benefits

Faster Moisture Release

Ag Shield Recon Hay Conditioners feature an exclusive spiraled roller design that crushes crop stems at every other inch.

The frequency of this crimping ensures that there is less distance for moisture to travel in order to escape; maximizing moisture release.

Cuts drying time in half (more for coarser stemmed crops).

Promotes Maximum Airflow

Mower conditioner swaths tend to collapse within 4-5 hours.

The Recon reconditions and refluffs swaths to promote better airflow.

The partially dry swaths stay fluffed longer once a Recon conditions them, making for a faster drying process.

Combined with the Recon's crimping process, drying crop has never been more efficient.

Greater Control Over Harvest Time And Forage Value

Using a Recon guarantees fewer days until baling. Using the Recon makes it possible to bale dry hay within 30-60 hrs after cutting.

The Recon allows you to better manage the weather. If there are 2-3 days before rain is forecast, you can beat the rain and get your hay off the field if you are using the Recon.

With less days lying in the field you will be able to maximize your Relative Forage Value and ultimately increase your bottom line.

You can save $50+ per ton by using a Recon hay conditioner and not delaying harvest.

Features may include:

Exclusive Crimping Action

The Ag Shield Recon features precision timed and lathed steel lug rollers. As hay passes through these high pressure rollers, the stems are crimped at every other inch, allowing moisture to escape quickly and easily. With crimps at every other inch there is less distance for moisture to travel in order to escape the stem. This crimping action dramatically decreases drying time. The Recon's round rollers provide a much stronger crimp than flat rollers. The high pressure crimping also helps the swath stay fluffed which increases air flow.

Speed And Harvest Quality

Recon hay conditioners do not have a traditional pickup. The Recon's rollers act as the pickup. This minimizes the weight of a Recon and allows for high capacity field speeds of up to 10MPH (16 KM/Hr). This also ensures that the Recon does not pickup as much dirt or old hay as traditional rakes or pickups, maximizing the quality of your harvest.

Quick-Set For Peak Performance

The Recon is equipped with a Quick-Set Slider to allow the operator to easily set roller clearance for optimal performance depending on the type of crop and the conditions. Wide clearance is recommended for Sorghum, Milo and Oats; medium clearance for Alfalfa and close clearance for Coastal Bermuda Grass and Timothy. Users can choose a fluff setting for salvaging hay after a rain.

Easily Handle Wads

Recons are equipped with a 115HP clutch that is able to power through wads without plugging or slowing down. If the machine does plug during operation, the rollers can be hydraulically opened from the cab to un-plug the machine within seconds.
