Description
Vermeer M8050 8-Disc 3-Point Mower is a 10.5-ft (3.2-m) disc mower designed for efficient hay and forage cutting with Category II or III N tractors. Its 8-disc cutter bar provides a broad cutting pass, while the 11.5-ft (3.5-m) working width supports productive field coverage. The 3-point quick hitch is designed for one-person hookup, helping simplify attachment and daily operation. With a 540-rpm PTO drive, recommended 80-hp (59.7-kW) tractor PTO power, Quick Clip® blade retention, and standard modular independent skid shoes, the M8050 is suited to operators seeking a straightforward mounted mower for hay and forage work.
Efficient 8-Disc Cutting Performance
The M8050 uses eight 19.7-in (50-cm) discs and 16 blades to cover a 10.5-ft (3.2-m) cutting width. The cutter bar operates at a disc speed of 2,850 rpm, while the adjustable cut height ranges from 1.3 to 3.9 in (3.2 to 9.9 cm). Angle adjustment is made through the 3-point top link, allowing the operator to set the mower position for field conditions and desired cutting height.
Convenient 3-Point Attachment
A 3-point quick hitch supports one-person hookup and is compatible with Category II or III N tractor hitches. The mower is driven by a 540-rpm PTO and requires one auxiliary remote with a single-acting hydraulic circuit. The hydraulic system is specified for 1,900 psi (131 bar) and a flow rate of 6 gpm (22.7 L/min).
