3 Point 81" Disc Mower, 5 Discs, PTO Powered 35–85HP Hay Cutter for Category 1 & 2 Tractors, DHM7

Start with Farmry's listed 35–85 HP tractor range, a 540 RPM PTO, and a Category 1 or 2 three-point hitch. Then confirm lift capacity, machine weight, ballast, and PTO shaft fit for your specific tractor. Have both engine and PTO horsepower ratings available when requesting a compatibility check. Compare other Farmry disc mower sizes if your tractor or field access calls for a different model.

Yes. The PTO powers the cutting system, while tractor hydraulics operate the hydraulic lift. Before ordering, confirm that your tractor's hydraulic outlet, hose couplers, and controls match the supplied cylinder arrangement. A compatible 3-point hitch alone does not confirm hydraulic compatibility. Follow the manual's requirements for securing the cutter head and disengaging the PTO before transport.

No. The DHM7 cuts forage; it does not add a conditioning stage. A sickle mower uses a reciprocating knife, while the DHM7 uses rotating discs fitted with cutting knives. If your alfalfa or grass hay harvest plan calls for crimping or crushing stems, plan suitable conditioning equipment. Read the disc mower versus mower-conditioner comparison before deciding which machine type meets your needs.

No. Cutter bar movement and tractor slope limits are different specifications. The DHM7's folding range includes a vertical transport position; it is not a safe mowing-slope rating. Assess field conditions, obstacles, ground stability, and turning space against both equipment manuals. The mechanical breakaway feature helps the cutting assembly yield at an obstruction, but it does not guarantee protection or make mowing over rocks safe.

Yes. The DHM7 uses replaceable cutting knives, with two blades per disc across five discs, totaling ten knives. Farmry's DHM replacement blade pack contains eight pieces, so one pack is not a complete ten-knife replacement set. Confirm the required left- and right-hand knives, mounting details, fasteners, and part compatibility before ordering. Follow the manual's shutdown and maintenance procedures when servicing blades.

Match the rake's effective working width to the number of mower swaths you plan to gather, then check the finished windrow against the baler's usable pickup width. The DHM7's 81.4-inch cutting width is not necessarily the width of the laid crop. Crop density, pass spacing, and field layout also affect the match. Use Farmry's mower, rake, and baler width guide to plan the system.
