Drum mowers have two disks in each cutting unit, Upper rotates and carries the knives. Underneath is a large flat disk with it's own bearing, free to turn any direction. This disk slides on the ground, holds the cutter disk off the ground a fixed distance. Scalping doesn't seem to be an issue. Large disks travel at a suprising speed, cutting very efficiently. The two cutting units counter-rotate, shooting the cut material out in a stream, almost a windrow to the rear between them. Close enough to each other that they overlap in the middle. They don't clog, and you can cut as fast as you can ride, (at least as fast as I want to ride!) I got one this June, and it revolutionized my cutting operation. I can keep up with larger machines, but the no clog, no down time replacing guards and sickle bar knives is the real advantage. New set of blades costs $10 at TSC, takes ten minutes to swap out. Since blades are double sided, swapping sides gets you a new cutting edge. My hay fields, crops win no beauty prizes, but my drum mower doesn't care. They're an amazing machine.
