DM50 DISC MOWER Mowing FAQs

How wide does the John Deere DM50 disc mower cut?

The DM50 Series model shown in the spec table has a 7.7 ft cutting width and a 5.7 ft swath width, with a cutting angle that operates at plus or minus 25 degrees. It uses six cutting discs turning at 3,000 rpm with 12 knives.

What size tractor do I need for the John Deere DM50 disc mower?

The spec table lists a minimum of 45 PTO hp at 540 rpm. The mower mounts on a 3-point hitch, and the DM5050 and DM5060 are iMatch and Quick Coupler compatible while the DM5070 is Cat. 2 Quick Coupler compatible.

Is the John Deere DM50 easy to hook up and transport?

Yes. The park stand and parking arm transfer the mower's weight to the cutterbar when parked, which makes attaching easier. For transport, you raise the lock with the rope system, use SCV 1 to bring the cutterbar up and release the rope to lock it in place.

How do I service the cutterbar on the John Deere DM50 disc mower?

Each oval-shaped disc comes off with four bolts, and the shear hub assembly comes off the cutterbar with only eight bolts in total. You do not have to split the entire cutterbar to replace sheared hubs, which saves time and oil replacement costs.

Can I add a swath wheel to the John Deere DM50 disc mower?

Yes. An outer swath wheel keeps cut crop separated from uncut crop so you are not cutting it twice. It adjusts along the length of the cutterbar and bolts to the top frame with U-bolts.
