MF/Hesston Mower Conditioner Rubber on Rubber Rollers Question

Out and about and saw a new MF/Hesston side pull disc mower conditioner, model 1359. I believe this design to be the same/similar to the New Idea 5209 and CaseIH 3309 - with some updates.

The rollers were rubber on rubber. The chevron patterns on them are shallow like the old ticor rollers, but to this untrained eye, looked like rubber, not ticor material, belting type material laminated to make the rollers.

Older MF/Hesston brochures say "Ticor". The latest on the MF website says "rubber on rubber".

Question - was I seeing rubber on rubber rollers or ticor rollers - which unlike ones I've seen in the last which were worn, these and never seen a blade of grass?

Anyone have any additional info/clarity on these rollers and could share, it would be much appreciated.

On a little different note, I know (straightened out on this board - thanks! ) the latest MF disc mowers are rebadged Fella mowers that Agco now owns. Anyone know if the cutter bar on the 1359 has been changed from the New Idea segmented hex shaft design to the Fella design?

I've read lots of great info/reviews on the New Idea 5209 / CaseIH 3309 mower conditioners and if the MF 1359 is still the basic same design, I might consider one.

Thanks again,
Bill
