Vermeer TM135 9-Disc Trailed Mower – 13.6 ft Cutting Width, 540 RPM, Drawbar Swivel [TM1472321]

The Vermeer TM135 9-Disc Trailed Mower is a heavy-duty trailed disc mower designed for efficient hay cutting with a 13.5 ft (4.1 m) cutting width and a nine-disc Q3 cutter bar. This drawbar-swivel configuration is designed for tractors equipped with a drawbar hitch and swivel gearbox connection, with a recommended 70 hp (52.2 kW) of PTO power. Operating at 540 rpm PTO, the TM135 combines hydraulic suspension, hydraulic pitch control, Quick-Clip blade retention, and a Quick-Change shear-ring system to support productive mowing and practical serviceability in demanding hay-cutting applications.

Product Overview

The TM135 is a trailed disc mower built for broad field coverage and controlled operation. Its nine 23 in (58.4 cm) discs rotate at 2,700 rpm and carry 18 blades, while the Q3 cutter bar provides a cut-height range of 1–3 in (2.5–7.6 cm). Hydraulic pitch control allows the mower angle to be adjusted from the tractor, and the hydraulic suspension system supports the mower during operation and transport.

For handling and maintenance, the mower includes Quick-Clip blade retention and a Quick-Change shear ring as standard features. The greaseless vertical driveline and greaseless tongue pivot are designed to reduce routine lubrication points. A hydraulic swing cylinder supports positioning, while the drawbar with swivel gearbox provides the specified hitch arrangement for this configuration.
