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.

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.

Reliable With Minimal Maintenance

The Ag Shield Recon's crushing rollers are driven independently from the rest of the machine by high-strength 80 chain in an enclosed case with synthetic gear oil. The Recon's steel rollers are maintenance free and will not need replacing. They maintain the correct set clearance from end-to-end. A Slip Clutch protects the Recon itself, while an Overrun clutch protects the tractor. The Recon offers easy access to clutches and grease points

testimonials

With rains coming every third day, we were able to BALE dry alfalfa in 36-60 hours by crushing the stems and tedding 19.5ft windrows back out 15 feet wide in one pass.

Max Turn Capacity

Ag Shield offers the Recon 400 with a 3 point hitch for maximum turning capacity. The 400 features our patented pivot-body design that allows you to hydraulically angle the machine 25° from either side of center. With this capability you can transfer swaths 7ft over to either side and enjoy maximum control over your swath placement.

Complete Swath Control

Our optional Side Deflectors are hydraulically controlled from the cab. The deflectors block wind to help maintain uniform swaths. They allow you to adjust your swath width according to your baler. The deflectors also give you the ability to invert and move swaths to dryer ground.
