DM Series

The DM 205, DM 246 and DM 287 provide a very sturdy and economical solution to the small and medium size farm without compromising quality and finish. Ideally suited to farmers with low horsepower tractors or a limited amount of mowing to carry out, these mowers boast a host of features you would expect to find on larger, more expensive machines.

Disc mowers with spur gear drive have great appeal thanks to their long working life and low operating costs. The lightweight construction maximises the yield even when smaller tractors are used because, with the disc mowers, considerably wider working widths can be achieved. Ease of maintenance is another positive feature these lightweight mowers offer.

The gear bed cutter bar is precision engineered. With elliptical discs, rotating swathformers and robust conveyor drums, it is possible to achieve a clean cutting pattern and good forage throughput even on difficult terrain.

Designed for contractors and larger farms and built to tackle the big jobs, the Professional Series offers many exclusive features that drive high performance and low maintenance, increasing efficiency and lowering operating costs.

At the heart of this system is a continuous, large-dimensioned hexagonal shaft and a robust angular gearbox under each mower disc. This results in even power distribution to all mower discs and the smoothing of torque peaks. The load and the wear of the components is significantly lower when compared to the conventional spur gear bar. The components are screwed to a robust yet flexible unit. Due to a special drive, the Massey Ferguson disc mowers with compact angle drive are durable and produce particularly low drag. This positively impacts the cost-effectiveness of your mowing, which is particularly helpful in times when the price of diesel is on the rise.

The ergonomics of the cutter bar determine whether you will harvest quality forage. The engineers at Massey Ferguson have succeeded in developing a perfectly streamlined cutter bar with profiles on the underside. As a result, even in adverse conditions, this prevents the formation of mounds of earth in field forage crops or on wetland. The earth is cleanly separated from the forage and flows away under the cutter bar. This excludes the possibility of the earth mixing in with your high-quality forage. With a Massey Ferguson cutter bar, you can continue to work when others have had to give up or have not even been able to start working.

A perfect cut is achieved due to the large overlap of the mower discs, which are positioned well towards the front. Massey Ferguson mowers use large mower discs and their special shape means that they can handle increased volume of forage – an important aspect, especially for heavy, lying material. A clean cutting pattern – the calling card of any Massey Ferguson mower!

Everything is well thought-out for a high level of operational reliability and low operating costs

Even as early as the first bar designs, our engineers worked with foresight. As a result, the hexagonal shaft was provided with a predetermined breaking point, which interrupts the flow of power between the cutter bar and the tractor if there is a heavy overload.

That saves you having to pay for expensive repairs. The compact angle drive operates all skids which are attached using bolts, and can be easily and quickly replaced as required. Due to its lifetime oil filling, the cutter bar is largely maintenance-free and the lubrication of the cutter bar is ensured in any mowing situation.

The best basis for a worry-free harvest – more crops, no stops!

Due to the compact angle drive being bolted, you can change the direction of rotation of each module to meet your individual needs – even after many years

The mower discs are converted from axial running to paired running by simply switching the angle drive – all without any additional components.

You can flexibly adapt your Massey Ferguson mower to changing general conditions. Whatever comes your way, you always have the right mowing technology.

Every farmer knows from experience that foreign objects accidentally drawn into the mower can cause significant damage.

Massey Ferugson prevents precisely this kind of damage with driveGUARD – a top notch overload protection system.

When the mower disc becomes jammed by a foreign object the driveGUARD shears off at the predetermined breaking points. This interrupts the power train and the mower disc turns freely.

The driveGUARD offers the customer extremely cost-effective and reliable protection because, once the mower has been fitted with one, only the throw-away overload disc will have to be replaced if the need arises.

DM 255 P & DM 306 P

The Professional Series disc mowers feature individual compact angular gears that provide an extremely smooth power transfer to all discs, resulting in less wear than a conventional gear drive and ensuring a longer and more reliable cutter bar life. They also feature rupture protection for safety in the event of hitting a large obstacle. The wedge shaped bar provides the added benefit of a low cut and the ‘Big Disc’ design ensures a large overlap, which results in a clean cut even in the face of high volume and difficult crops.

The modular design enables quick and easy servicing in the field, should it be required.

Lateral suspension with a controlled lifting linkage results in a compact transport position and low transport height. A quick change knife system is standard on the Professional Series mowers, increasing the efficiency of operation.

As an option, the DM 255 P can be quickly and easily retrofitted with a roller (RC) or tine conditioner (KC), while the DM 306 P can be retrofitted with a KC Tine conditioner.

A sturdy exterior support guarantees long working life of protective covers thus increasing operational safety of the machine.

DM 306 HS

• Versatile, trailed mower
• Centrally controlled drawbar linkage
• driveGUARD protection

The DM 306 HS is a trailed mower with a centrally controlled drawbar linkage. The machine is particularly characterised by its ease of handling and superb agility. The mower can be pivoted at the rear of the tractor both to the left and right. This gives you an enormous advantage, particularly with forage lying on the ground, on sloping terrain and for hillside lines. Due to the robust pivoting gearbox, an even transmission of power takes place in every working situation, without bending the PTO shaft, which results in very little wear and a long service life.

The cutter bar is mounted at the outermost points on the sturdy support frame. In conjunction with the parallel adaptation of the mower to uneven ground, the mower is reliably prevented from piercing the sward producing top-class quality forage without forage contamination.

The DM 306 HS is fitted with a tine-rotor conditioner as standard. With a conditioner, you achieve your quality forage more quickly because the water loss from your crop is accelerated.

This gives you a definite time advantage, particularly in unstable weather conditions – a quicker and safer way to produce your quality forage. Due to the specially developed trailed suspension mounting of the cutter bar, the ground pressure is reduced to a minimum – whatever the pivot movement.

The working height can be set over an infinitely adjustable cutting height of 3.5 -7.0 cm. As a result, you can react flexibly to changing working conditions. In addition, you can perfectly adapt the contact pressure of the mower to your conditions. Due to the generous lifting height of the mower, turning manoeuvres on the headland can be carried out seamlessly without causing any damage to transverse swaths.

DM 306 TRS & DM 408 TRS

The DM 306 TRS and DM 408 TRS’s unique design facilitates wide mowing and narrow transport width without the need for high horsepower tractors. The proven compact angular cutter bar and KC conditioning unit provides an economical, productive and efficient result.

The cutter bar is mounted at the outermost points on the sturdy support frame. In conjunction with the parallel adaptation of the mower to uneven ground, the mower is reliably prevented from piercing the sward – for the best quality forage without contamination. Due to the specially developed trailed suspension mounting of the cutter bar, the ground pressure is reduced to a minimum – whatever the pivot movement.

With the models DM 306 TRS and DM 408 TRS, Massey Ferguson offers two trailed mowers with wheel support. These machines are especially characterised by their narrow transport width but remarkable working width. The weight of the machine is distributed evenly to the tractor and the running wheel. With the edge mowing device that is fitted as standard, the crop is conveyed inwards and this reliably prevents forage losses when mowing and prevents the machine from slipping out of position into adjacent ditches.

Due to the robust pivoting gearbox, the power is distributed particularly evenly in any working situation, resulting in very little wear and a long service life. With a transport speed of up to 40 km/h, the machine can be driven quickly and easily to the next place of work.

The working height can be set over an infinitely adjustable cutting height of 3.5-7.0 cm. As a result, you can react flexibly to changing working conditions. In addition, you can perfectly adapt the contact pressure of the mower to your conditions. Turning manoeuvres can be easily performed on the headland due to the generous lifting height of the mower unit. Changing from working position to transport position can be conveniently performed in seconds from the tractor seat.

The DM 8312 rear mounted 3PL butterfly disc mower with KC or RC tine rotor conditioner is a perfect companion to the front-mounted DM 306 FZ mower conditioner with trailing linkage. Working in tandem, the two provide a total cutting width of 8.27 m, allowing you to cover more ground faster. Working together or on their own, these mowers are great for the professional farmer or contractor seeking to maximise the productivity of their machinery.

The DM 8312 features free-floating cutting, which reduces the load on the support frame, support tube and the 3-point linkage hitch. It allows for improved cutting quality in uneven ground and smoothly glides over undulations thanks to its TurboLift-system (TL), which enables hydro-pneumatic discharge and continuous adjustment of bearing pressure on the cutter bar.

The DM 8312 TL-KC and DM 9314 TL-KC mower is also fitted with impact SafetySwing protection, which can independently swerve back and up around the slanting axle should an obstacle be hit. The slanting axle protects the drive shafts from damage.

If an incident occurs, the mower will return to its working position under its own weight, meaning time-consuming stopping or reversing is not required.

Both mowers feature one-lever operation for quick change at the headlands, making the transition from working to turning fast and simple.

DM 9314 EL TL-KCB

Advanced machine technology coupled with a state-of-the-art ISOBUS equipment control system makes this mower combination with conveyor belt stand out from the rest. A working width of 9.30 m allows large volumes of forage to be processed efficiently. For the DM 9314 TL-KCB, a particularly wide conveyor belt (940x2,700 mm) has been developed that can handle larger volumes of forage with ease, and continuously operate at higher working speeds.
