Panacea group has been involved in hay harvesting since 1994 thereby evaluating machines built for haymaking of forages and analysing relevant issues and drawbacks. The first mower conditioner prototype for fiber sorghum was devised in 2007 mounted on an agricultural tractor and was modified in 2008. In 2009, the making of a pre-sales model was commissioned to a firm in the north of Italy by means of a call for tenders intended for agricultural machine manufacturers and in the spring of 2009, the firm manufactured the prototype according to Panacea’s instructions.
