Lisicki Z-178/3 210 cm rotary drum mower

The choice of agricultural machinery that helps in the maintenance of green areas is growing. Currently, we can choose how we want to mow meadows, wastelands, green areas, and what we want to do with the mowed grass.

Which mower for tall grass?

The best choice of a mower is one that will take into account what we want to mow, what areas our machine will come into contact with.

For mowing tall grass, meadows, low-stem greens, e.g. alfalfa harvested for direct feeding or further processing, large areas, drum mowers , or rotary mowers, are best suited.

The drum mower can work on uneven terrain with a slope of up to 12°. The area itself must be free of stones, branches, self-sown plants or molehills. This is the basic difference between a flail mower and a rotary mower.

Thanks to its design and operating system , a rotary mower allows for work in difficult conditions, but also allows for a greater operating radius and precise adaptation to the terrain. A drum mower for a tractor, as the name suggests, is composed of two drums that rotate around their own axis, and its cutting part consists of sharp blades located in the drum. The number of blades depends on the size of the mower.

Grasses are cut by the rapid impact of the blade. The diameter of the cutting disc is equivalent to the cutting width, which is doubled, of course, because the mower is equipped with two discs.

The mower's cutting height is factory-set at 32mm, but can be adjusted to 40mm and 44mm. Cutting height adjustment is achieved using a spacer ring located on the cutting drum between the hub and the cutting disc. The working width is 210cm.

The condition for the proper operation of the machine is to select the appropriate size for the power and weight of the tractor.
