Reese Drum Mowers
The Reese drum mower is an entirely different design solution. Completely belt driven, it has no internal gearing of gearboxes of any kind and very few moving parts. The spreader attachment spreads and conditions the crop as it is cut, reducing drying time.
Antonio Carraro TTR4400 tractor and Reese 1600 drum mower with tedder
This is a demonstration of two remarkable pieces of equipment that work perfectly together. The Antonio Carraro TTR4400 is a perfect match for the Reese 1600 drum mower.
The Reese mower has remained very much the same for 40 years. With only 5 moving parts, the belt driven mower absorbs any shock load when striking rocks or other objects. With no expensive gears or oil reservoirs to check, you never have to worry about a major breakdown costing hundreds or thousands of dollars, nor have the constant fear of a major repair. There is never need for expensive shop labor or downtime to keep you out of the hayfield. After several years of use and virtually no maintenance, many owners' only expense has been the replacement of blades. With the windrow spreader attachment, you get a simple, inexpensive built-in tedder. The Reese drum mower has an adjustable gauge wheel which allows you to easily adjust the height when topping pasture, which many farmers report gives quicker regrowth than rotary mowed grass. No other machine on the market has these time and money saving features.
