Vermeer announced an expansion of its product line to include triple mowers, rotary rakes, and a large tedder.
The addition of triple mowers complements Vermeer’s existing disc mowers, trailed mowers, and mower-conditioners. Customers can expect to see productivity gains with a 29.8-foot cutting width — featuring the FM110 front mower and the CM295 combination mower — each available as a plain mower, rubber roller, or flail conditioner.
The cutterbar includes shear protection to help prevent damage to its internal components, quick-change blades for quick maintenance, and hardened steel skids and discs for long-lasting performance.
Operators can maximize yield and cut quality – even on variable terrain – thanks to the advanced hydro-pneumatic suspension system. This closed-loop system allows the mower to adapt seamlessly to varying ground conditions, maintaining consistent down pressure across the entire cutting range.
The hitch designs on the front and rear are engineered for longevity and durability. The FM110 front mower’s hitch design allows for a high degree of movement on both the vertical and lateral planes by pulling the cutterbar instead of pushing it, delivering better ground contouring, enhanced cut quality, and minimizing unnecessary downtime due to maintenance.
Two new rotary rakes, the RR140s and RR270c, feature raking widths of 14 feet and 27 feet, respectively. In addition to Vermeer’s lineup of large and small wheel rakes and twin rakes, these new additions provide another option for producers.
Designed for maximized durability and ease of maintenance, the new rotary rakes feature large, 420-millimeter cam tracks. Due to large components and easily accessible grease points, they have the ability to hold up in tough field conditions and eliminate complex maintenance and service procedures to maintain quality and reduce ash content when handling forage.
The new rotary rakes also include a modular rotor featuring separately removable spring tine arm pairs. Each cam bearing module is secured with three bolts, streamlining maintenance for operators.
The TE485 tedder, with a 48.5-foot tedding width, will be the largest in the Vermeer lineup. Its hook tines help maintain optimal hay quality by creating a more consistent and complete dry down experience as hay is inverted with wet material on top and dry material on the bottom. Vermeer hook tines are backed by three-year coverage.
Although there will be limited field inventory of these products available to customers in 2025, full availability is expected in 2026. For more information, visit vermeer.com.
