Vermeer M5050 5-Disc 3-Point Mower – 6.8 ft Cutting Width [M50168621]

The Vermeer M5050 5-Disc 3-Point Mower is a 3-point disc mower designed for efficient hay cutting with a 6.8 ft (2.1 m) cutting width and 7.9 ft (2.4 m) working width. Its tapered, low-profile cutter bar is designed to minimize streaking, while five 19.7 in (50 cm) discs and 10 blades provide a productive cutting configuration for hay operations. The M5050 uses a 3-point quick hitch for one-person connection, a 540-rpm PTO, and a single-acting auxiliary hydraulic circuit. With the standard Quick-Clip blade retention system, blades can be changed or reversed without tools, helping simplify routine maintenance in the field.

Efficient Hay-Cutting Configuration

The Vermeer M5050 combines a compact three-point-mounted design with a 6.8 ft cutting width and 7.9 ft working width. Its five-disc cutter bar is equipped with 10 blades and operates at a disc speed of 2,850 rpm. The tapered, low-profile cutter bar is designed to help minimize streaking across the cut, supporting consistent field performance.

Cut height can be adjusted from 1.3 to 3.9 in (3.2 to 9.9 cm), allowing the mower to be configured for different hay-cutting conditions. Standard modular independent skid shoes support the cutter bar, while optional topping skid shoes and wear skids are available as specified equipment options.

Convenient Hitching and Blade Service

The M5050 is designed for tractors equipped with a Category II or III N 3-point quick hitch. The Quick Hitch hookup is intended to support one-person connection, helping reduce setup effort when attaching the mower. A V-belt driveline provides torque protection for the cutter bar.

The standard Quick-Clip blade retention system allows tool-free blade changes and blade reversal. This makes routine blade service more convenient and can help reduce downtime during seasonal mowing work. The cutter bar is also covered by a standard 3-year limited cutter bar warranty.
