This is an N-scale (1:160) model of a 13-foot-cut Mower Conditioner, modeled in the Transport Position, with the mower centered behind the hitch, the mower deck lifted, and the wheels lowered for additional clearance.
Modeled loosely after a prototype Mower Conditioner, it features a 13-foot cut. The model represents an implement typically found on farms, this model became common in the late 90's, and is used to cut grown hay crops and "conditions" them between a pair of rotating rollers to aid in hay drying prior to baling. The prototype for this model allows the farmer to offset the mower to either the left or right side of the tractor, or center it behind the tractor for transpotation. This model features the mower in its Transport Position, with accurate geometry (Pivot, Wheel Lifts, etc) and scale-accurate dimensions.
Designers Note: This is a finely detailed, miniature scale model. It is small, delicate and fragile. It is my reccomendation that this model not be treated as a toy.
