We just up graded from an aloder Lely Optimo disc mower to the new Vermeer Gator disc mower. The Vermeer is very similar but alot heavier. The only thing I don't like about it is the end plate and skid. I guess it is a safety thing. The problem is that when you are at the very end of a field and do not have a full swath, the grass piles up under the the end plate and you end up with a big clump. Has anyone ever removed or modified this plate?

My Vermeer Gator disc mower (9 ft. plus) works just fine without a grass board. It's hanging on the wall in the machine shed.

The end board does catch and drag hay. It is there for safety reasons. Some more don't have end boards like that, but Vermeer has higher safety standards than other companies.

Tom, I recently bought a new Vermeer 9'3" mower. It would leave clumps when making right turns. The wadboard would drag the hay around in a pile. Then on rough ground the wad board got caught on something while turning and bent the bracket that fastens it to the cutter bar. I took the assembly off and it works just as well without the wadboard. I will straighten the bracket and put it back on without the wad board and see how that does. I don't remember any difference with thin hay. You might try removing the wad board.
