Description
The BRABER BE-Z175 65" 3-Point PTO Drum Mower is a rear rotary drum mower designed for utility tractors equipped with a Category 2 three-point hitch and a 540 RPM PTO. Its two-drum cutting system uses six knives and oppositely rotating drums to produce a 1.65 m working width, while the belt-and-pulley drive system supports dependable mowing operation. With adjustable mowing heights, windrow-forming operation, a protective apron, and a spring safety device for obstacle impact protection, the BE-Z175 is suited to hay and forage mowing applications where efficient field coverage and controlled cutting performance are required.
Efficient Two-Drum Cutting System
The BE-Z175 uses two working drums with six knives and a drum rotational speed of 2050 RPM. The oppositely rotating drums support windrow-forming operation, helping organize cut material during mowing. The mower offers adjustable mowing heights of 32, 40, or 44 mm, with a listed minimum cutting height of 1.5 inches.
With a 65-inch working width, equivalent to 1.65 m, the mower is designed to cover a broad swath while remaining compatible with tractors meeting the stated hitch and power requirements. The manufacturer lists a working speed of up to 12 km/h and an advertised working capacity of up to 5.4 acres per hour. The operating manual lists capacity of up to 1.4 hectares per hour.
Built for Practical Field Operation
A belt-and-pulley drive system transfers power to the cutting drums. The BE-Z175 also includes a heavy-duty protective apron, described in the operating features as a protective safety curtain, helping provide guarding around the working area. A spring safety device is included for obstacle impact protection.
The mower is designed for rear three-point mounting and has a transport position for movement between mowing areas. The manual specifies a transport speed of up to 15 km/h and transport clearance of 0.25–0.40 m.
