Drum Mowers

The second question is if anyone has used a HayMAXX, how well do they hold up. I am about 800 miles from where the distributor is and don't know much about them.

ACI Distributors in St. Charles, MO can get any original part for the PZ mowers.

The HayMAXX drum mowers are based off the PZ drum mowers. There are hundreds on the HayMAXX drum mowers sold each year in the USA. The people that have the PZ135,165 & 185 drum mowers will recognize this HayMAXX drum mower.

50% of the cattle in the USA are owned by operators that have 50 head or less. 60% of the beef cattle are owned by operators that farm 150 acres or less. What this means is, that cutters 9' and shorter are 70% of the all cutters sold to harvest hay. If you are going to market products the larger market looks better because there are over 2 times as many customers in the 70% than in the 30%.

All dairy cattle die as beef cattle. There is a different economy with dairy cattle operators than beef only operators. Dairy operators tend to have larger tractors and are accustomed to making silage. Dairy operators do have income coming from the milk, more now that 2 years ago.

You mentioned about wishing you could mow and use less HP. You need to look at the Vermeer Trailed Mowers. Look for the TM900 to be available soon. That will give you the 13'6" cut you desire and the Vermeer will mow in all positions. The current Vicon 4000 can only mow with the mower out to the side.
