Disc Mowers For Sale

About Disc Mowers

Disc mowers quickly cut grass and other crops, often delivering a clean cut even with thick hay and forage crops. Disc mowers evolved from early horse-drawn sickle bar mowers to include hydraulics and now operate at faster speeds and generally require less maintenance than their predecessors. As tractor horsepower has increased to drive the powerful disc mowers, the machines have become essential to both small and large hay operations looking to provide a high-quality product for customers or livestock.

Disc Mower Options

Disc mowers are typically available in front-mounted, side-mounted, butterfly, and trailed or pull-type varieties. Front-mounted models are often chosen for their ability to cut undulating terrain, while pull-type varieties tend to offer wider working widths. Generally speaking, disc mowers require a higher-horsepower tractor than drum or sickle bar mowers, but the machines are also easier to transport due to their use of hydraulic lifts. Major disc mower manufacturers usually offer a range of disc mowers suited for small farms to large-scale hay operations. Cutting widths often range from anywhere from 5 to 15 feet (1.5 to 4.5 meters), and some of the largest models reach 29.5 feet (9 meters) wide.

Mower Conditioners

Mower conditioner units have become more popular in recent years for their ability to simultaneously mow and condition hay. Conditioning features can include intermeshing rolls, the ability to create well-distributed, fast-drying swaths, and other innovative designs to cut drying time and ensure optimal nutrient retention. Conditioners with stem crimping capabilities can also help with cane crops and higher-volume grasses.

Adjustable To Your Needs

Many disc mowers offer adjustable cutting height, and some can be even be adjusted hydraulically on the fly. Many modern disc mowers also let operators control the windrow formation and conditioning roll pressure to fine-tune the cutter to best suit their crops and current conditions.
