Description
The Vermeer TM1210 Trailed Disc Mower is a wide-cutting, 12-disc mower designed for efficient hay and forage cutting across large fields. Its 17.7 ft (5.4 m) cutting width, Q3 cutter bar, two independent cutter bar units, and hydraulic suspension help deliver productive mowing while allowing the cutter bar to follow changing terrain. With a recommended 95 hp PTO tractor, 540 or 1,000 rpm PTO capability, and a 2-point quick hitch with swivel gearbox, the TM1210 is suited to operators seeking broad coverage, controlled cutting height, and practical transport configuration.
Product Highlights
The TM1210 combines a broad working range with features intended to support reliable operation in varied field conditions. The 12-disc Q3 cutter bar uses 24 blades and 23 in (58.4 cm) discs to provide a 17.7 ft cutting width. Two independent cutter bar units support terrain following, while the hydraulic, nitrogen-charged accumulator suspension system helps manage cutter bar movement during operation.
Operator-focused service features include Vermeer’s Quick-Clip blade retention system and Quick-Change shear ring. A friction-disc driveline clutch supports the driveline, while standard highway lights assist with road transport. The mower is listed with 480/45x17 flotation tires and an optional swathwheel is available as a specified option.
