I have 2 Reese drum mowers, a 2070 fold back and a 2400hl, lift model. The 2070 is 6'10" cut, and the 2400 is an 8 ft cut. I run them with a JD5420, 65Hp tractor, and they cruise along in very heavy orchard and timothy. Both of mine have the spreader attchment and it spreads out the windrow behind the mower. They rarely bog down, I mow in 5th or 6th gear, but I avoid bouncing due to a bad back.
The little 2070w manual fold is so simple and so easy to use. It is heavy when folded back for transport, but the big 2400 is real heavy on the side when folded up for transport.
I do not think they cut quite as neatly as a disc mower, but I am making hay, not lawn. I had a disc mower and spent too much time worrying about it disintegrating on me.
I am a Reese fan. Not sure why they are not more popular here, but farmers tend to follow the local trends in equipment.
