a few days ago I posted asking about disc mowers. After some research, I think a drum mower would fit my operation much better. After all my research searching blogs, I have not found 1 bad review on a drum mower I have looked (online only) at the Haymaxx as well as the Reese. I personally like the Reese much better. I was a bit hesitant of a drum mower due to the limited width options, I am cutting with a 9' haybine with a 460d Farmall, (45 horsepower) currently. After talking with drum mower dealers, they recommended a 6' 3" machine. That seems a bit narrow. I understand you can mow faster with a drum mower, but some of my fields won't allow the 40% faster to make up for the narrower cut. Reese offers a 8' model that appeals to me, however they recommend a 65 hp tractor for that width. I am wondering what your thoughts and experiences are on the Reese mowers, and what do you think about running an 8' model behind my 460d?
I am pretty sold on buying one of these, just unsure on the model. I can't believe that there are not more of these out there being used. Discbine speed at a 1/4 the cost. Most my hay is grassy, so no conditioner shouldn't effect me much.

When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
