Photos of Malone’s front mower conditioner have popped up on social media recently. The manufacturer has made no secret of wanting to increase its mower range, in fact there was a prototype front mower in the factory’s car park when we visited them in 2020 to see the Procut 3000 MP rear mower for a profi driving impression.
The new front mower conditioner is destined to get its official launch at the Irish Ploughing Championships in September but there are 10 new pre-production units heading to work this season, joining three other front mowers being used by Irish contractors since last year.
For now there will be just the one model with a conditioner, but a plain front is in the pipeline and we could very well see a rear butterfly mower also on the Malone stand at the ‘Ploughing’. The firm already has the aforementioned MP central pivot mower range.
There are also whispers of an eight-rotor trailed tedder prototype undergoing testing. A smaller six-rotor was unveiled last September as the first of a new trailed range.
