H7000 SERIES DISCBINE
 
Even in tough conditions, Discbine® disc mower-conditioners quickly turn heavy crop into fast-drying windrows or wide swaths. They slice through thick, down and tangled, wet crops and cut through fire ant hills and gopher mounds like they are not even there. New Holland’s extensive line of Discbine disc mower-conditioners gives you plenty of choices. From the economical seven-disc models with a modest, nine-foot cut up to the highly productive 12-disc models that quickly mow down 15’ 7” in every pass, there’s a model that matches your acreage and operation.
 
MOWMAX™ CUTTERBAR ADVANTAGE
Discbine disc mower-conditioners feature the latest advances in cutterbar technology: the MowMax™ true modular cutterbar with ShockPRO™ disc drive hubs. If you hit a foreign object in the field, the ShockPRO hub absorbs the shock of the impact before damage to drive components occurs. Best of all, the cutterbar is covered by three-year MowMax™ protection.
 
A CHOICE OF CONDITIONING SYSTEMS FOR FAST DRYING
You’ll harvest crops more quickly and produce more nutritious, high-value feed thanks to New Holland conditioning systems. Choose the gentle conditioning of rubber chevron-intermeshing rolls that save the delicate leaves, steel chevron-intermeshing rolls for winter forage or longstem and cane grasses, or New Holland's LeaningEdge™ flail conditioning system for fast drying of grass hay.
 
YOUR CHOICE OF TONGUE DESIGNS
Flexible side-pull Discbine models are available with economical straight- and bent-tongue configurations with a standard drawbar or a bent tongue with optional swivel hitches for easier cornering and improved maneuverability. The versatile, center-pivot Discbine models let you cut at any angle—to either side or directly behind the tractor— with outstanding maneuverability while cutting and transporting.

3-YEAR MOWMAX PROTECTION
New Holland’s MowMax™ cutterbar sets the industry standard. It’s the secret to smooth, quiet, trouble-free mowing— and fast, inexpensive cutterbar servicing. Driven through individually sealed gearboxes with dedicated oil reservoirs, discs are never at risk for oil starvation, even while cutting on side hills and inclines. Don’t worry about costly repairs. If the mower hits an obstruction in the field, the damage to a module is isolated and fully contained minimizing risk to the other modules.
 
CLEANER MOWMAX CUTTING
The MowMax cutterbar features new, lower-profile-design rock guards to allow closer cutting at a flatter cutting angle. This design allows the cutterbar to run more lightly on the ground for less wear, less damage and a more consistent cut height. Adjustable header flotation springs and on-the-go cutting height adjustment allow you to get all of your valuable crop without scalping or knife damage.
 
SHOCKPRO™ PROTECTION
MowMax cutterbars are equipped with the added protection of ShockPRO™ disc drive hubs. The ShockPRO hubs absorb the impact before damage to drive components can occur and are quick to replace in the field so you can keep harvesting when the weather is right.
 
3-YEAR MOWMAX™ PROTECTION
You not only get the best disc cutting performance in the business, you get the peace of mind of 36 months of protection coverage. That’s two years of additional protection on the MowMax cutterbar after the base one-year warranty on the full machine. It’s a New Holland exclusive.
 
DISCBINE® DISC MOWER-CONDITIONERS
ADVANCED MOWMAX™ TRUE MODULAR DISC CUTTERBAR TECHNOLOGY
The New Holland ShockPRO™ hub heads off potential damage to gears and module drive shafts. It saves you hassle, time, and repair costs
The New Holland Discbine design ensures long life and maximum capacity, even in the toughest conditions:
• To withstand punishing conditions, austempered ductile steel discs provide extra hardness, toughness and durability.
• To avoid disc and knife damage in rocky fields, simply adjust the cutting angle hydraulically from the tractor cab (not standard on the H7220/H7320).
• For maximum durability, rock guards are made of ductile iron, not stamped sheet metal like some units.
• For optimum flotation and protection of the crop stubble, skid shoes are 8-inches wide and extend behind the module a full two inches. Pairs of counter-rotating discs spin at 3,000 rpm for fast, clean cutting without plugging. The Discbine header is suspended independently from the trail frame, allowing it to closely follow changing ground contours and reducing stubble damage and skid shoe wear.
 
REPLACEMENT KNIVES TO MATCH FIELD CONDITIONS
Choose from four replacement knives to match your field conditions. All feature two cutting edges for double the life. Simply flip over the knives when the front edge dulls. Plus, you easily change the knives from the front—no need to reach from the back of the cutterbar.
• 14° smooth knives for extra lift and clean cutting (standard)
• 14° serrated knives extend wear life in abrasive conditions
• 7° smooth knives cut clean with less ash content in the hay
• Rock knives for more durability in rocky or stony conditions Rock 7° 14°


DISCBINE® DISC MOWER-CONDITIONERS
 
CHOICE OF ROLL OR FLAIL CONDITIONING
New Holland's offers a wide selection of conditioning systems to help you beat the weather and produce nutritious, high-quality feed that improves animal production.
 
CHEVRON STEEL INTERMESHING ROLLS:
Durable chevron steel intermeshing rolls are designed for use with all crops, but show a real advantage in cane-type crops, grain forage crops and extra-tall grass crops. The chevron pattern of the steel lugs provides aggressive full stem crimping, smooth crop flow, and even distribution into fast drying swaths or windrows. Rugged all-steel roll construction resists wear better than rubber, providing a long life even in highly abrasive conditions.
 
TORSION-BAR ROLL-PRESSURE SYSTEM
Year after year, New Holland’s torsion-bar roll-pressure system has proven to be the most effective design for delivering consistent, thorough conditioning. The no-tools-required hand crank makes it easy to tailor roll pressure to the crop without crawling under the machine with wrenches. The unique, over-center linkage momentarily relieves roll pressure, allowing crop slugs or foreign objects to pass without plugging for non-stop mowing.
 
CHEVRON RUBBER INTERMESHING ROLLS
Gentle chevron rubber intermeshing rolls provide full stem crimping and cracking with a scrubbing action while handling high-feed-value leaves delicately, making it the ultimate solution for alfalfa and clover. This is possible because of the large 10.4-inch roll diameter, the rubber compound, the intermeshing fit and profile of the lugs. These features work together to grip the crop and generate an even flow crop through the rolls to provide an even spread into fast drying swaths or windrows.

FLAIL CONDITIONING FOR GRASS CROPS
 
The New Holland LeaningEdge™ flail design delivers more effective conditioning of grass crops for fast drying. The 20-degree tangent of LeaningEdge™ flails causes more outward pressure, pushing crop against the adjustable hood for more aggressive conditioning, and releasing at the ideal moment to prevent carry-around for uniform, fast-drying swaths or windrows. For delicate conditioning of legumes and grass mixtures, raise the hood position for more gentle handling. Or, for maximum conditioning, increase flail rotor speed and add the dimpled hood liner.
 
FROM SWATH TO WINDROW, FAST AND EASY
All Discbine® models feature fast and easy windrow shield and swathgate adjustments, without tools, so you can quickly adjust to crop and moisture conditions and your harvesting method. Spread the cut crop in a fast-drying swath or into a tight, three-foot-wide windrow that’s ready to bale or chop.
 
WIDE AND THIN CROP SPREADING SPEEDS DRYING
The wide and thin crop-spreading deflector kit spreads crop to the full width of cut, exposing more crop to the sun and providing faster drydown. University tests confirm that the more leaves are exposed to the sun, the faster crops dry and the more feed value is retained. Quick drying reduces sun bleaching and gives you an advantage when you need to beat the weather and bale or chop before the rain. The kit is fitted to the swathgate with the windrow shields removed. Visit your New Holland dealer for complete details.

LeaningEdge™ Flail DISCBINE® DISC MOWER-CONDITIONERS TURN A NEW CORNER WITH DISCBINE® PRODUCTIVITY
Maneuverability has always been a given with Discbine® disc mower-conditioner. You can turn, pivot and cut clean around tight corners to mow more acres every day. From the agile seven-disc models to the largest 12-disc models, Discbine disc mower-conditioners provide you with outstanding control and maneuverability that reduces fatigue and improves productivity.


H7220 AND H7320 – SIDE-PULL (Standard Straight Tongue)
The 9’2” cutting width and narrow transport of the side-pull H7220 and H7320 models makes them ideal for mowing tight spaces and accessing smaller farm gates. The 540-rpm drive and low power requirement means you can mow and condition your crop for fast drying with as little as 65 PTO horsepower.
 
H7230 AND H7330 – SIDE-PULL (Standard Bent Tongue)
The unique New Holland bent-tongue design provides extra tire clearance for tighter turns to the right, providing outstanding maneuverability in small or oddly shaped fields. The wider 10'4'' cutting width cuts more acres per hour and is well suited to tractors with just 80 PTO horsepower. The standard hitch offers simple drawbar attachment and the choice of 540- or 1000-rpm drive, a constant velocity PTO that allows you to cut square corners without PTO vibration or noise.
 
H7230 AND H7330 – SIDE-PULL (Optional Swivel Hitch Tongue)
For maximum productivity both in the field and on the road—add the new swivel hitch option. It couples the advantages of the standard bent tongue design with the extreme maneuverability of a swivel hitch. Turn beyond 90° to the right for smooth clean cutting around tight corners. The swivel gearbox maintains the PTO angle straight through the turn eliminating constant velocity joints and extending driveline life and reliability. Both the two-point and drawbar swivel designs maneuver easily when transporting and attach quickly to your tractor. The drawbar swivel uses a slip-fit drawbar extension that uncouples easily. Simply remove the pin so your tractor is ready for other jobs. There’s no need to rigidly bolt, then unbolt, the extension on the drawbar. Two-point attachment eliminates the hitch pin and provides added clearance over large windrows.
 
H7450, H7550, H7460 and H7560 CENTER-PIVOT
The center-pivot tongue design allows the tongue to swing 38.5° to the right or left so you can cut on either side or directly behind the tractor and mow around obstacles—even on slopes—to get all the crop. The outstanding center-pivot, turn-and-go maneuverability allows rapid headland cycle times and provides straight windrows or swaths to improve your harvesting productivity.
 
H7450 AND H7550 CENTER-PIVOT (Optional Swivel Hitch)
H7460 AND H7560 CENTER-PIVOT (Standard Swivel Hitch)
For making turns greater than 90°, tight headland turns, and smooth cutting around field obstacles, this is the tongue design you need. It provides the ideal combination of control and exceptional maneuverability of a swivel hitch. Cut to either side or directly behind the tractor—whatever the field conditions and cutting patterns demand, the swivel gearbox maintains the PTO angle straight through the turn, extending driveline life and reliability. A new swivel hitch option available on the H7230 and H7330 allows for maximum maneuverability in the field and when transporting.
