Looks like our occasional poster of "Sweet Tractor" may be starting to carry a new brand of drum mower named "Tar River".
I know nothing about the Tar River brand but I do think it is neat how this mower folds up more like a 3 pt disc mower would instead of swing way back around to rear. Yes you need a hydraulic hookup but no need to disconnect your PTO shaft like the other design. Many claim the traditional drums that swing around to the rear are downright scary roading them from field to field with all that weight hanging way back there on the tractor the front end gets real light at speed. Also on some brand if you forget to disconnect your PTO shaft you can bend it when swinging it.
Copy paste this craigslist link for some neat photos (usual disclaimers: I have zero affiliation with the seller or the brand. I just thought the pics were neat).
