Built for the 730 and 735 Hay and Forage Mower Conditioners

The John Deere 730 and 735 are pull-type hay and forage mower conditioners built for high-capacity cutting and conditioning of grass, legume, and mixed hay crops as well as forage crops including corn silage and sorghum. Both machines combine a wide-cut disc mower cutterbar with an integrated crop conditioning system — delivering cut crop directly from the cutterbar into the conditioning rolls for immediate stem cracking and conditioning before the crop is formed into a swath or windrow for rapid field drying.

The 730 and 735 share the same fundamental mower conditioner architecture with model-specific differences in cutting width and selected component sizing. Both models are PTO-driven from the tractor, feature a disc mower cutterbar with individual disc knife assemblies across the full cutting width, a twin-roll crop conditioning system with adjustable roll gap and roll pressure for conditioning intensity control across different crop types, an adjustable swath forming shield system for windrow width control, a header suspension and float system for correct cutterbar ground following, a hydraulic header lift system, and a complete drive system from the PTO input through the main gearbox to the cutterbar and conditioning roll drive.
