New Holland 313 Discbine, 316 Discbine Disc Mower-Conditioner PDF Repair Service Manual (Publication No. 48049004)

For professional hay producers, every pass across the field affects forage quality, drying time, and overall harvesting costs. The New Holland Discbine 313 and Discbine 316 Disc Mower-Conditioners are engineered to deliver high-speed mowing with excellent crop conditioning, allowing operators to harvest more acres while producing clean, uniform windrows. Their modular disc cutterbar, hydraulic flotation suspension, heavy-duty PTO driveline, and integrated conditioning system are designed to withstand demanding field conditions while maintaining consistent cutting performance. When these components require servicing, factory repair procedures are essential to restore the machine to peak operating condition.

This OEM Factory Repair Service Manual (Publication No. 48049004) is written specifically for the New Holland Discbine 313 and 316 models. It provides dealership-level procedures covering inspection, diagnostics, component removal, overhaul, adjustment, calibration, and final testing. Every repair follows official New Holland workshop standards, making this manual an invaluable reference for technicians, agricultural workshops, and experienced owners. This publication is the 2nd English Edition (November 2016) and supersedes Publication No. 47544204.

Built for Maximum Forage Quality

The Discbine 313 and 316 are designed for fast-paced hay production where cutting quality and conditioning efficiency directly impact crop value. Their high-speed modular cutterbar produces a clean cut, while the conditioning system helps accelerate moisture loss for quicker baling. Hydraulic flotation reduces ground pressure on uneven terrain, protecting the cutterbar while maintaining a uniform cutting height across the entire working width. These machines are widely used for harvesting alfalfa, grass hay, clover, and mixed forage crops in commercial farming operations.
