Is the FDM-210H Right for Your Operation?
The FDM-210H is designed for hay producers who need more cutting capacity than the smaller Farm-Maxx drum mower models. Its 83-inch working width provides additional coverage compared with the 73-inch FDM-185H, while hydraulic folding offers convenient transitions between mowing and transport.
If your tractor does not meet the FDM-210H's horsepower or lift requirements, the FDM-185H offers a 73-inch working width with hydraulic folding and a lower minimum PTO horsepower requirement of 35 HP. For operators who do not require hydraulic folding, the FDM-185 offers the same 73-inch cutting width with manual folding.

83" Drum Mower
Heavy duty and well built. Great customer service, fast shipping. The assembly wasn't very enjoyable.
