What to Look for When Buying a Used Disc Mower?

Disc Mower is a piece of agricultural machinery used for mowing hay or other crops that have been cut and laid in the field. It is a type of mower that uses a set of spinning blades, or discs, to cut the crop. The discs are mounted on a bar that is attached to the tractor.

What should you consider when buying a used disc mower?

When looking to buy a used disc mower, there are several factors that you should consider:

How many hours has the machine been used?

The hours the machine has been used are an important consideration. Make sure to ask the seller about the hours of use and check the condition of the machine.

What is the condition of the blades?

Check the condition of the blades. If they are cracked, bent or damaged in any way, they will need to be replaced.

Is there any rust or damage to the body?

Check the body of the machine for any rust or damage. Rust can cause the metal to weaken and damage can affect the machine's performance.

Has the machine been serviced regularly?

Ask the seller if the machine has been serviced regularly. Regular maintenance is essential for keeping the machine running smoothly.

Has the machine been stored properly?

Check how the machine has been stored. A machine that has been kept out of the weather will last longer than one that has been left exposed to rain, sun, and wind.

Summary

When buying a used disc mower, there are several factors to consider such as hours of use, blade condition, rust or damage to the body, regular maintenance, and proper storage. Taking the time to inspect and ask questions before purchasing a disc mower can save you time and money in the long run.
