HAYBINE® SICKLE HEADS DELIVER PROVEN
CUTTING AND CONDITIONING

Since 1964 when New Holland introduced the industry’s first combined mower-conditioner, the Haybine name has been associated with impeccable cutting performance, fast drying, and time-tested reliability. New Holland continues this legacy with HS Series sickle heads available in 14-, 16-, and 18-foot high-capacity models for Speedrower® Series self-propelled windrowers.

PROVEN CONDITIONING

New Holland chevron-design intermeshing rubber rolls are known for their thorough conditioning and fast crop dry down. The proven torsion-bar roll-pressure system applies near-constant pressure through the wide 102-inch rolls and allows the rolls to open automatically when needed to clear slugs of material without stopping. No tools are needed to adjust conditioning roll pressure. High-contact chevron rolls and steel chevron intermeshing rolls are also available.

HIGH-CAPACITY CUTTING PERFORMANCE

Dual counter-stroking sickles feature a timed modular wobble drive that assures smooth cutting with minimal vibration and maintenance. Serrated knives slice quickly at over 1800 spm and the three-inch stroke delivers unrivaled cutting. Bolt-on knife sections provide long cutting life and easy replacement, and adjustable knife hold-down clips make maintenance a breeze.

CONSISTENT CROP FEEDING

The fully adjustable five-bat reel sweeps crop smoothly into the exclusive floating auger. This 20-inch auger with 5-inch flighting floats up to two inches to handle heavy crops and delivers crop evenly to the conditioning rolls.
