Description
The Vermeer FM110 Front Mower with Rubber Roller Conditioner is a front-mounted disc mower designed for efficient forage cutting and conditioning in hay applications. With a 10.9-ft (3.3-m) cutting width, eight-disc gear bed cutter bar, and intermeshing rubber rollers, it combines a wide cut with conditioning performance in a front-mounted configuration. The FM110 is built for tractors equipped with a front CAT II three-point hitch and a recommended 110 PTO hp (81 kW), making it suitable for operators who need a productive mower for field use while maintaining a practical transport width of 10.8 ft (3.3 m).
Efficient Cutting and Rubber-Roller Conditioning
The FM110 uses a gear bed cutter bar with eight discs and 16 quick-change blades. The cutter bar operates at a disc speed of 3,000 rpm and provides a verified cutting height range of 1.6–2.8 in (4–7 cm). Following the cutter bar, the intermeshing rubber roller conditioner helps condition the crop across a 105-in (2.7-m) width. The rollers measure 8.9 in (22.5 cm) in diameter and operate at 750 rpm, with the conditioner driven by three V-belts.
Swath shields allow the windrow width to be set from 44–91 in (1.1–2.3 m). This gives operators flexibility when forming windrows for the next stage of hay handling. The mower also includes hydraulic suspension, standard wear skids, optional topping skids, and top-link angle adjustment on the three-point hitch.
Built for Front-Mounted Operation
Designed for use on a front CAT II three-point hitch, the Vermeer FM110 places the mower at the front of the tractor for a clear operating position and front-mounted implement configuration. A front-mounted layout can be useful when planning a mowing system around tractor-mounted equipment, subject to the tractor meeting the specified hitch, PTO, hydraulic, and power requirements.
Torque protection is provided by a friction and over-running clutch, while standard shear protection helps protect the cutting system during operation. The mower’s hydraulic suspension supports the machine’s operating configuration, and the single double-acting hydraulic circuit is designed to work within a hydraulic pressure range of 2,030–2,900 psi (140–200 bar).
