Self-Propelled Merger
The first self-propelled merger, manufactured by Oxbo International Corp., will be available for limited sales in the U.S. this year. With front-mounted pickup heads, the 34’ Oxbo 4334 offers improved forage quality by never running over the crop, according to company officials. It has a 30-mph road speed and pickup heads fold to a 10’ transport width in less than 20 seconds.
The same patented continuous pickup and crop flow used in Oxbo’s tow-behind models has been incorporated into the 4334.

Power Merger
Sporting a 29’10” working width, the MM 900 Merge Maxx power merger from Kuhn North America has three independently floating pickup heads that follow ground contours for clean pickup.
The gentle action of the pickups and belts, coupled with the merger’s patented adjustable windguard system, reduces leaf loss and deposits the crop into fluffy, uniform windrows for even drying.
