DISCO 1100 COMFORT: more working width and user-friendly ISOBUS operation

The new DISCO 1100 COMFORT uniquely combines a large working width with compact transport dimensions. The working width has been extended to 10.80 m by increasing the arm's adjustment range by 10 cm. The working width can be infinitely reduced hydraulically to 9.60 m, and the two arms can be adjusted independently or synchronously. In combination with the DISCO 3600 front mower, this ensures optimal overlap at all times on tight bends or when working on slopes. Despite the two 3.80 m wide mower units, the mower folds to a height of less than 4.00 m for road transport.

Operation couldn't be simpler thanks to the familiar COMFORT hydraulic controls from the DISCO 9700 and 1010; no separate control unit is needed. Lifting and lowering of the arms and adjustment of the working width are controlled hydraulically, or automatically using the programmable headland management system, while hydraulic protective cover folding and ACTIVE FLOAT ground pressure can be conveniently controlled either by the programmable F keys on the CMOTION control lever or by ISOBUS. The automatic slope control function is optionally available for convenient adjustment of ACTIVE FLOAT ground pressure and arm position.

MAX CUT: outstanding mowing performance and heavy-duty wear protection

As with all DISCO mowers, the proven MAX CUT mower bed with quick-knife change and ACTIVE FLOAT suspension are responsible for the outstanding cutting performance. Both features have proven their worth over many years and tens of thousands of DISCO mowers, delivering clean forage, maximum sward protection and outstanding capabilities combined with high cutting frequency at reduced PTO speed for optimum efficiency.

Flow-optimised wear skids for a 7 to 9 cm cut height reduce crude ash contamination and accelerate regrowth. This feature has the added benefit of further reducing tractive power requirement and diesel consumption.

MAX CUT stands for ultimate reliability and durability. So all mowing discs are equipped with four wear protection studs as standard for a double service life. All knife holders have a high-quality tungsten carbide coating on the underside, something normally seen only in tillage implements. The mower bed oil filling is designed for durability – and so reduces maintenance and costs.
