The R400 features a free-swinging impeller, while the R500 comes with a pre-loaded tine impeller, making both models ideal for conditioning grass crops and legumes such as alfalfa.</p> <p> </p> <p>The R400 has V-shaped tines and the R500 has straight-shaped tines that create a scuffing action by pushing the crop against an adjustable conditioning hood. This action effectively removes the waxy surface of the stem, enabling faster moisture evaporation. However, it is important to note that these conditioners are not recommended for crops 1.5 m (5 ft) or taller.</p> <p> </p> <p>The adjustable conditioner hood offers operators the flexibility to modify the distance between the hood and the impeller tines. A tighter clearance results in more aggressive conditioning, while a wider setting accommodates larger crop volumes and provides gentler conditioning for legumes. Additionally, the impeller rotor speed can also be adjusted only for the R400 by altering the drive belt routing. It is important to note that no conditioner speed adjustments are recommended for the R500.</p> <p> </p> <p>The R400's free-swinging impeller tines are designed to protect the conditioner from damage when encountering rocks or other solid objects, reducing maintenance needs in challenging conditions. The force of the free-swinging impeller ensures that the tines effectively push on the crop.</p> <p> </p> <p>On the other hand, the R500 features a pre-loaded tine impeller equipped with 162 individual tines, which can be replaced due to wear or breakage. It is crucial to operate the machine with all tines intact, as missing or broken tines can lead to imbalances and vibrations that may cause damage. The pre-loaded tine impeller not only pushes the tines outward but also allows them to apply greater force on the crop.</p> <p> </p> <p>The impeller speeds for the R400 free-swinging impeller are: </p> <ul> <li>870 rpm – ideal for grasses</li> <li>630 rpm – suggested setting for legume crops</li> <li>Increased impeller speed in taller crops may help reduce wrapping of rolls</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>The recommended impeller speed for the R500 pre-loaded impeller is:</p> <ul> <li>2350 rpm - minimum rpm required to maintain force of the pre-loaded tines on the crop</li> </ul> <h5>V-10 steel conditioning rolls</h5> <div class="seccion-images"> <div> <img src="https://salesmanual.deere.com/customer/sales/salesmanual/images/NA/hay_forage/art_1/windrower_platforms/rolls_v10.jpg" alt="Close-up of V-10 steel conditioning rolls"> <span class="caption">Close-up of V-10 steel conditioning rolls</span> </div> </div> <ul> <li>The V-10 steel conditioner rolls feature 10 angled flutes arranged in a chevron pattern, or V-pattern, along the length of the steel core.</li> <li>Steel rolls offer improved wear life over urethane rolls, particularly in adverse crop conditions.</li> </ul> <p>Advantages of the V-10 conditioner roll over the previous straight-flute design include:</p> <p> </p> <ul> <li>Deep intermeshing angles for positive feeding and uniform conditioning throughout the entire length of the rolls</li> <li>More crimping edges for improved conditioning</li> <li>Improved feeding</li> <li>Improved windrow formation</li> </ul> <p>An adjustable swath board is included with the V-10 steel conditioner roll option.</p> <h5>Tri-Lobe™ steel conditioning rolls</h5> <div class="seccion-images"> <div> <img src="https://salesmanual.deere.com/customer/sales/salesmanual/images/NA/hay_forage/art_1/windrower_platforms/133815_tri_lobe_rolls.jpg" alt="Tri-Lobe steel conditioning rolls"> <span class="caption">Tri-Lobe steel conditioning rolls</span> </div> <div> <img src="https://salesmanual.deere.com/customer/sales/salesmanual/images/NA/hay_forage/art_1/windrower_platforms/133807_995_tri_lobe.jpg" alt="Close-up of Tri-Lobe steel conditioning rolls"> <span class="caption">Close-up of Tri-Lobe steel conditioning rolls</span> </div> </div> <p>Tri-Lobe steel conditioning rolls are only available on the R500 Platform.</p> <ul> <li>Tri-Lobe steel conditioning rolls have three intermeshing chevron lobes to crush the length of the stem for improved conditioning and faster drydown.
