Discbine mower-conditioner
New Holland’s model 1411 discbine mower-conditioner cuts a 3.15 metre (10 ft., four in.) swath in heavy or light crops. Ant hills and mole hills don’t plug the bar and heavy, lodged crops are cut cleanly without slowing down.
The 1411’s cutterbar design is new. Each disc and its drive are independent, sealed modules. Their design helps prevent damage to the cutterbar if a hidden, unyielding object is accidentally hit. Cutting discs are smaller in diameter and have a steeper profile to lift the crop onto the conditioning rollers.

Nytro Ag Corp and Green Lightning recieved an innovation award at Ag in Motion 2025 for the Green Lightning Nitrogen Machine, which converts atmospheric nitrogen into a plant-usable form.
Width is adjustable from a 91 cm (36 in.) windrow to a 2.1 metre (84 in.) swath. A new bent-tongue design using three constant velocity U-joints allows the mower to cut on any angle like a swivel hitch, but at a lower cost. No three-point hitch or drawbar extension is needed for the tractor.
