front drum mower

[Coldbrook]

Been thinking about making a front drum mower. If the drums turn as in the diagram would all the cut grass be in swath B ? What are your thoughts?

Yes but that volume of grass won't go between the drums at a sensab forward working speed. If you Google pz /Greenland front mowers and you will see that mowers like that put out two rows for that resan

The smaller drums will jam,normally the smaller drums turn in the opposite direction to the larger drum nearest.

So would it be better to have the large drums on the inside, also being organic i don't have huge yields. Going for a little and often approach.

Do u have to travel fast with that type of setup ??

Why not just buy a front disc rather than trying to make something

No, just some zero grazing from nearby fields.

Id a memory that tom Pemberton on utube found better to knock on this twin mower, but i may be wrong
