Description
The Vermeer CM295 Combination Mower is a high-capacity hay and forage mower designed to deliver efficient cutting across a 29.3-ft (8.9-m) cutting width. This supplied configuration, identified as CM2708231, is specified without a conditioner and uses optional swath wheels for swath formation. With a 32-ft (9.8-m) working width, gear bed cutter bar, hydraulic suspension, 16 discs, and 32 blades, the CM295 is built for productive field operation when matched with a suitable tractor equipped with a front CAT II three-point hitch and the recommended 200 hp (150 kW) PTO horsepower.
Efficient Cutting for Large-Scale Forage Work
The CM295 combines a broad working width with a robust gear bed cutter bar to cover substantial acreage efficiently. Its 16-disc cutting system operates at 3,000 rpm and uses 32 blades to support consistent crop cutting. The adjustable cut height ranges from 1.6 to 2.8 in (4 to 7 cm), allowing the mower to be configured for the required forage-cutting conditions.
Hydraulic suspension helps support the mower during operation, while friction and over-running clutch torque protection helps protect the drive system. Standard wear skids help support cutter bar protection during field use, and optional topping skids are available for additional configuration flexibility.
