Rotary Disc Mower

Rotary disc mower HAY & FORAGE HARVESTING Mowers (38) 9-5-25 Replacing conventional mower blades with round blade-equipped discs cuts rpm's and horsepower required to operate big mowers, says Donald E. Fraser, Hamilton, New Zealand. Fraser simply bolted four short blades to the four sides of a metal disc about the same diameter as the length of the blades it replaced.
