Hay mower

[kenmac]

Looking at a new hay disc mower.
Looking at a mower with the name of Morra.
Also sold under other names such as Farmmax, and Fort
From what I find, they are made in Italy
I can't seem to find any reviews on this mower, and was wondering if anyone here has any experience with these mowers.
Thanks

Mine is a 10' Bush Hog brand. Don't know if it is marketed under another name though.

Had a big morra for many years, go with Fella or something your local dealer stocks parts for

I've never seen a Morra, Farmmax, or Fort disc mower unless they were/are actually the OEM on somebody else's mowers, and even then it would only be an older or budget-line model as the major manufacturers either make their own main-line stuff or have another major OEM make it for them (e.g. Deere's 3 point disc mowers are Kuhns with green paint.) I don't think I would be real eager to buy a budget disc mower from a not well known maker, particularly since it would be almost guaranteed to be a gear bed unit. Those are particularly critical to how well they are put together and failures tend to be catastrophic. I am partial to the shaft drive modularized units after having worked on them, they are generally repairable although dropping the cutterbar and separating the modules out is a bit of work.

got a vicon now that's a gear bed unit. I was under the impression they all were geared

Nope. CaseIH/New Holland uses a modular shaft-driven cutterbar on their Discbines and their "nicer" disc mowers. Everything Vermeer currently makes is modular shaft-driven too, but a different design than CNH uses. Most of the rest are gearbed though.
