Light duty swather/windrower

[Moosecrk]

I am trying to decide on a light duty swather/windrower for a 24 hp tractor. Any suggestions? So far all I have found is basically a finer cutting brush hog type mower with y blades. Thanks!

Go for a drum or disk mower. They come in widhts as small as 5 ft. Three point mounted as well. About as simple as you can get.

Might depend on the weight of the tractor. I have a 6 foot drum mower, and it would tip most if not all tractors of that size. I ve put it on a Ford 3000 and its far too heavy for it to be a comfortable match. It even gets a little heavy on the 67 hp Deere I typically use it on. Its a lot of weight hanging out away from the wheels.

Thanks! I will see what I can find.
