Vicon EXTRA 7100

Tackle Curves Without Leaving Uncut Crop

CurvePilot is an automatic system, featured on EXTRA 7110, that constantly adjusts overlap between front and rear mowing units so you can utilise the working width and capacity to the maximum.

Full Capacity On Headlands

When mowing headlands you typically position the mowing units with full overlap, reducing working capacity, to avoid leaving uncut crop in the field. With CurvePilot as standard you can mow at full working width and utilise the maximum capacity of the mower. CurvePilot will automatically choose the correct minimum overlap.

Avoid Mistakes During Headland Turns

When mowing A-B lines with a GPS steered solution the tractor can make sudden counter steers when starting again on headlands if you are not hitting the exact starting point of the GPS tracks. When this occurs, CurvePilot immediately increases overlap to compensate and avoid striping.

Comfortably Passing Obstacles

When mowing up and down the field you will typically mow with the mowing units at the maximum working capacity, leaving very little overlap between the front and rear mowing units. When driving around obstacles in the field, CurvePilot will automatically adjust the overlap and immediately compensates when you make turns in the field.

Racecar Technology Applied for Mower Conditioners

What makes the QuattroLink suspension unique? The mowing unit is pulled by four suspension arms fitted onto a fixed carrying arm that allows the mowing unit to float independently over the field, adjusting highly accurately and instantly to any changes in ground contours.

No Compromises on Flexibility

The mowing pattern is extremely flexible with a vertical working range of 700mm up and down and a transverse working range of 30°. The 4 arm suspension concept ensures constant ground pressure during working operations.

How You Will Benefit from QuattroLink

Like a race car you want better tracking, ability to go at faster speed and adjust instantly to changing field conditions when operating your mower conditioner. These are the main benefits you will experience when running the EXTRA 700 series. The four suspension arms provide the mowing unit with an exceptional flexibility in adapting instantly to demanding ground contours inviting for higher speed and more productivity.

Our NonStop BreakAway system just got even better. With the new QuattroLink suspension this system now offers protection across the full working width of the mower, including the part closest to the tractor. There are no limiting factors on the inside part of the mower, giving the driver true peace of mind. When hitting an obstacle in the field, the mowing unit will instantly move backwards and up, and then return to the original position.

Hydraulic Adjustment of Overlap

EXTRA 736T Vario and 7100T Vario are fitted with hydraulic SideShift integrated into the carrying arm allowing each mowing units to move 400mm. To easily compensate for changing field conditions, the adjustable overlap is designed as a telescopic arm, directly into the suspension.

Ground Pressure Remains Constant

During mowing operation the carrying arm always remains even to the ground, giving the mowing unit the freedom to instantly compensate and float across uneven ground contours. The true benefit of the suspension concept is that even though overlap is changed, the chosen ground pressure remains the same.

Effective SemiSwing Conditioning for Quality Feed

Speed up the drying process with SemiSwing tine conditioning. SemiSwing offer aggressive conditioning for faster wilting and excellent tine protection with virtually no wear and tear.

Get the Full Conditioning Effect with Minimum Blockages

Vicon’s SemiSwing tine conditioner is an aggressive full width conditioning system. When the rotor starts rotating, the SemiSwing tines will instantly move into their working position and stay in a fixed position.  

Swath Plates Automatically Expand

Swath plates automatically expand when being slided inwards to support efficient and accurate swathing.

Easy Change-Over for Widespreading

Changing from swathing to widespreading is virtually a one minute job. The swath plates are easily slided to the side and the FlipOver widespreading vanes are turned 180°. No tools are required.

Compact During Transport

The mower folds hydraulically for transport and the telescoping frame arm moves to lowest overlap position, to reach a transport height of only 3.90m. And there is no need to leave the tractor before heading off, the outer FlexProtect protection guard hydraulically folds into transport position.

Parking, Safe and Sure-Footed

With the integrated parking device, storage of the EXTRA 7100T is made easy and convenient, requiring a minimum of space during winter storage. The mower is firmly parked on strong and stable parking foot.

The EXTRA 7100T provides generous clearance across the complete cutterbar, including the inside area. When lifting the mower on headlands, the mowing unit is raised and the carrying arm is tilted to a 10° angle. This provides the EXTRA 7100T with a level ground clearance of minimum 500mm across the full working width. When lowing the mowing unit the carrying arm is lowered evenly without one side touching the ground before the rest of the mower, avoiding unnecessary stress and wear on the mower
