ABSTRACT:
A disc mower-conditioner having rotatable disc cutter units for severing standing crop material by impact action and a rotatable conditioning mechanism disposed rearwardly of the disc cutters to condition severed crop material is disclosed wherein a hat-shaped baffle is disposed above the disc cutters to restrict the movement of light crop material above the disc cutters and assist the feeding of crop material into the conditioning mechanism. The light hay baffle extends transversely and is mounted on opposing side sheets of the disc mower-conditioner. The light hay baffle includes an upper section having forwardly and rearwardly sloped portions meeting in an upper apex and a lower section having a generally planar horizontal portion and an upwardly sloping portion connected to the upper section. This baffle construction restricts the air turbulence caused by rotation of the disc cutters and conditioning mechanism and prevents material from accumulating on top of the baffle.
