The Big M II self-propelled high-performance mower-conditioner is a carrier vehicle for three
disc mowing units with a mowing conditioner. It is used to cut agricultural stalk and leaf crop.
Three individual mowing units allow the working width to be adapted. Integrated mower-
conditioners accelerate the drying process of the mowed crop.
The self-propelled high performance mowing conditioner is intended exclusively for the
conventional use in agricultural or similar work (intended use).
