I agree it's one of the best pieces of machinery I have for the money. One thing you may want to consider is to make sure you own a tedder to work the hay because it does tend to mow the hay in a pile a bit more than some other mowers which means you may have a little harder time getting your hay dry quickly without a tedder.
ya , I got that vary same mower . I think it is awesome , it will cut anything as fast as you can go . But like you said it’s is heavy . My opinion is that you need a bigger tractor than what is recommended .
Good vid. Well said good piece solid equipment that works for you. Everbody needs are different , don't mean anybody's right or wrong . All operations are different.
All lawnmowers with drums have an issue of imbalance with the result that they appear damaged. Over time, soil enters the vertical rollers and the cutter begins to break down...........
Why can't you adjust the height of the cut? If you lengthen the top bar of the 3 point hitch won't the blades cut higher? ...or add spacers to the bottom of the skid plates?
I got one... nightmare... the rod with gears broke and I can't get a new one. Theres at least 50 bolts to get into it The new rod came but was the wrong size and the company won't take it back. I'm out $90 and still broken. Do not engage unless tractor is ideling
You can add 3 more blades...6 blades per drum. You can buy those blades directly from Poland for only 37 cents each.. but they only take international money orders.
I second your opinion on drum mowers, nothing breaks em, nothing stops em.

Yes a tedder is a must with a drum mower

I think that farm must be up on the Wicklow mountains
One reason they wear out blades faster is they use less blades to mow a acre think about it thanks
i have one and love it. i can get blades at TSC
They simply are tougher than a disc mower. I own a Reese. One set of belts, no other repairs other than blades. Vetch will pull them down.

Look online, they make 1-3" blade lift spacers.

I really want one to replace my sickle bar but I'm afraid it's too heavy for my massey Ferguson 35
How much does a hay cutting more run price wise
Is the Farm-Maxx a US version of this mower? Tar River also looks pretty similar.
I don't think so but could be wrong.
Thanks for watching
Ok. I am lost with your advice. With out have these mowers sided by side. I do not understand what the difference is. Sorry. Later.
Can you use any blade? Or are the blades specific to the mower?
I always buy my blades from the dealer I bought the mower from I really don't know if others will work.
Thank you!
For Samasz drum mower blades are also produced by Waryński, Gerlach, Balmet.
Exactly what I was looking for real American advice
But that's not what this video is about
Are they good for dense rushes
It has cut everything I have throwed at it so far.
