Zero grazer mower conversion project

[Dave Flynn]

Hi guys. So 60 million dollar question that some people will have suggestions to help me. I'm getting sick of repairing my 2 drum 7'6" Tera Dalimano mower. (Italian). We have a Belair 2740 zero grazer which is a great machine except for the drum mower.
So I looking for advice on how to get a 8 ft approx 6 disc, must be driven down through the end top hat and I reckon we need to get the 3 discs at each side all turning in the same direction inwards to bring the grass into the centre. Possibly with two top hats at each end (4 in total). I'm thinking comer possibly do a bed with some of my requirements or the modular bed on the 530 John deere 530 mower I think but I am only a farmer and not any expert. However 10ft is much to wide. 7 foot 6 to 8 would probably be ideal. I have to drive the bed within the width of the machine so that in transport it's not any wider than approx 8 feet. No body has told me that this will work but I notice nearly all of the new irish zero grazers are gone away from the drum mower and all using disc mowers. This could be a bit of winter project if I get the right components and someone to help me put it all together.

Wouldn't the modular bed of, say a Splendimo, be an idea here?

Thanks for the reply. I have no idea. I must have a look into it, now that you have suggested it to me.

Old claas 3050 front mower had 4 top top hats to leave a narrow swath so it should work if you can find an 8ft bed off a 2650 or similar or as said lely bed you can swap sections around to how it suits

Thanks very much. Never thoughts about one of those. That's very interesting. However I suppose they will have to be driven at 1000rpm but the rest of the machine is really only supposed to be driven at 540rpm

Krone are designed so that you can put the hub in either way to reverse the orientation of each disc.
Simple job to get 3 turning in either side.

Yes. I think that's really what we want to be honest.

We make a range of mowers that are plain disc 5,6,7 that all have centre rotation so discs all rotate inwards to the centre. All made in house and shear on protected disc drives above the cutter bar (fullly welded cutterbar too https://www.sip.si/en/products/mowers/disc-alp/rear-mounted-side-mowers-disc-s-alp/
