Thanks for the input on the Drum Mower. I'm seriously considering it now. Of course it'll be for next year as I don't have anything to mow now (drought) but you have to be optimistic. It'll rain here again.

Hope it works for you better then it did for us. After 4 years we scrapped it. Belts and bearings every season, only one dealer and he claimed he couldn;t get parts reliably

Thanks, that's what I'm looking for, input and opinions. I'm not familiar with a drum mower and no one around here seems to know much about them.

When it worked it sure cut a lot of hay easily. It was replaced by a italian disc mower.Only problem with it was when a hired hand tried to mow several T-Posts and a telephone pole.

When you folks talk about a drum mower are you talking about something like a PZ? If so, I used one of those for many years and retired it a couple of years back. Darned good cutting mower but like Dun said, it had to be repaired at least once a year. Bearings, blade adapters, vertical shafts, skid pans and about all I could get out of a set of blades (one side) was ten acres or so. Ironpeddler sells a knock off PZ if that's what your interested in.
