Tractor Implements: Movement Conditioner & Side Rake
Mower Conditioner & Side Rake

Movement Conditioner
The Mower Conditioner is used to cut forage for hay. Preventative maintenance includes greasing all moving parts, checking the gear box and chains for wear and tear and replacing the reel and sickle bar if you hit a rock.  You may also need to replace the guards if they get bent.

The Side Rake is used to flip dried forage into wind rows for baling.  The maintenance for this implement includes greasing  fittings as needed, and cleaning or washing the entire rake with an air compressor.
