Rotary Drum Mower

Tractor-type drum mower

It is a high-efficiency mowing equipment used in conjunction with a tractor. With its unique structural design and working mode, it is widely used in scenarios such as large-scale lawn mowing and forage harvesting.

The structure of a tractor-mounted drum mower is designed around two core elements: power transmission and cutting. These include:
Power connection: The mower is connected to the tractor through its three-point hitch or drawbar. Power is typically provided by the tractor's power take-off (PTO). Some models can be driven by a hydraulic motor, ensuring stable power transmission.

Drum cutting system: The core component consists of one to three cylindrical drums, with multiple sets of blades evenly mounted on the drum surface (usually in a spiral or staggered arrangement). The blades are typically made of high-strength alloy steel for high wear resistance. The drum length is designed based on the working width, with common widths ranging from 1.5 to 4 meters, to accommodate tractors of varying power.

Drive system: Comprised of a gearbox, drive shaft, or chain, it converts tractor power into drum rotation. Some models feature a speed controller to adjust the drum speed based on grass conditions. Height Adjustment: A hydraulic cylinder or mechanical linkage controls the distance between the drum and the ground, adjusting the cutting height (typically within a range of 3-15 cm) to meet the stubble retention requirements of different lawns or forages.

Frame and Guards: The frame is welded from high-strength steel to ensure stability during operation. A protective shield is installed on the outside of the drum to prevent grass clippings from flying and contact with the blades, enhancing safety.

Forage Harvesting projects

Primarily used for harvesting various types of forage, such as natural grasslands and artificial pastures, to provide high-quality feed for livestock farming.

Roadside and Public Facility Projects

Suitable for mowing weeds along roadsides and mowing lawns in public green spaces, maintaining a clean and tidy roadscape and public areas.

Orchard and Woodland Clearing

In orchards, it can be used to remove weeds between rows of fruit trees, reducing competition for nutrients and water. In woodlands, it can also be used to clear weeds and low shrubs between trees, facilitating forest management.

Rear disc mower is an agricultural machinery equipment

Drivetrain

This system primarily uses shaft input and diesel engine belt input. It transmits tractor power to the cutting system, rotating the cutterhead.

Frame

The mower's supporting structure, used to mount and secure other components and ensure stability during operation.

Cutting System

This system includes the cutterhead and blades. The blades are secured to the cutterhead with bolts and are movable, cutting the grass using inertia when the cutterhead rotates at high speed.

Hydraulic Lift System

This system uses a single-cylinder hydraulic system or leverages the tractor's hydraulic pressure to lift the machine, thereby controlling the cutting height.

High Mowing Efficiency: Multiple disc cutters operate simultaneously at a high speed, enabling large areas to be mowed in a short time, improving efficiency.

Clean Cutting: The disc mower's blades maintain a relatively stable cutting height during rotation, resulting in a clean cut and facilitating subsequent grass collection and processing.

Strong Contour Ability: Some mowers are equipped with mechanical floating systems or hydraulic-pneumatic suspension systems, which automatically adjust the mower's height to the surface, maintaining an appropriate distance from the ground. This provides excellent contouring, ensuring a close cut while protecting the grass.

Good Protection: The blades are retracted when encountering large obstacles, preventing damage. Some mowers also feature an automatic safety release mechanism, which automatically releases the mower bar when it encounters an obstacle, protecting mower components from damage.

Simple structure and low maintenance cost: Compared with some other types of lawn mowers, the mechanical structure of the rear disc mower is relatively simple. It adopts rubber belt transmission and other methods to reduce the complex gear transmission device, with good working stability, low failure rate and low maintenance cost.

Precautions for Using a Tractor-Type Drum Mower

Matching Tractor Power: Choose a tractor with the appropriate power (usually 25-60 horsepower) based on the mower's swath width and number of drums to avoid underpowering or overloading.

Adjusting the Cutting Height: Set an appropriate height based on the grass species and growth conditions (e.g., 5-8 cm for lawn stubble, 8-12 cm for forage stubble).

A high cut will affect efficiency, while a low cut will damage grass roots.

Checking the Blade Condition: Ensure blades are sharp and secure before use to avoid breaking grass stems or blades falling off during cutting, potentially causing safety accidents.

Avoiding Obstacles: Observe the ground carefully during operation and avoid hard objects such as rocks and tree roots to prevent blade damage and excessive vibration.

Regular Maintenance: Clean grass clippings from the drum after each operation and lubricate components such as drive gears and bearings to extend the life of the equipment.
