Disc mowers are essential pieces of equipment for both large and small hay operations. Originally, they were just sickle bars pulled by horses, but disc mowers have become more advanced in recent years and are now equipped with hydraulics and able to work at faster speeds and typically require less maintenance than the older models. Disc mowers for sale have gotten more expensive, however, as they now require more horsepower than previously. Newer units that offer a disc mower-conditioner combination have become popular as they have the ability to mow and condition the hay simultaneously.
Disc mowers are available in various setups including front-mounted, side-mounted, trailed or pulled, and butterfly. No matter the setup, they require a fairly heavy-duty tractor from which to attach but they are able cut faster and through thicker grasses and weeds than old models. They can also be transported more easily due to their use of hydraulic lifts. The leading manufacturers have developed a range of disc mowers to be used for small to large hay operations with widths ranging from about five to nearly thirty feet. At Equipment Anywhere, potential buyers are able to locate new and used disc mowers for sale from some of the top manufacturers including Kuhn, Massey Ferguson, John Deere, CLAAS, Kubota, New Holland, Vermeer, and Krone, among others.
