Description
The Vermeer TM135 9-Disc Trailed Mower is a heavy-duty disc mower designed for efficient hay and forage cutting across broad fields. This TM135 configuration combines a 13.6 ft (4.1 m) cutting width with a 14.3 ft (4.3 m) working width, a 1,000-rpm PTO drive, and a 2-point swivel-gearbox hitch for compatible tractors. Its 9-disc Q3 cutter bar, hydraulic suspension, hydraulic pitch control, and 18-blade cutting system support productive mowing, while the Quick-Clip blade retention system and Quick-Change shear ring are included as standard. With a recommended tractor power of 70 hp (52 kW), the TM135 is suited to operators seeking a capable trailed mower for regular haymaking and forage-cutting work.
Efficient 9-Disc Cutting Performance
The TM135 uses a 9-disc Q3 cutter bar with 23 in (58.4 cm) discs and 18 blades. The discs operate at 2,700 rpm, providing a productive cutting system across the mower’s 13.6 ft cutting width. Cut height can be set from 1–3 in (2.5–7.6 cm), while hydraulic pitch control allows the cutting angle to be adjusted from the tractor.
Hydraulic Suspension and Protection
Hydraulic suspension helps support the mower during field operation. The driveline friction-disc clutch provides torque protection, while the standard Quick-Change shear ring is designed to provide shear protection for the cutting system. Standard modular independent skid shoes support the mower’s cutting components during operation.
