Very very good video! Thank you we are just stripping one down for the spare parts which has been in a hedgerow for years, the drums are rusted on, rust is the best loctite you can get😢

I have a different mower (Fehr KM22) but I found this very helpful. Wish I could find a manual like yours, with some english in it🙂 Thanks

Glad it was helpful! I think most drum mowers are indeed pretty similar, and I was able to download the PZ one (multi-language) using a simple Google search. Maybe that's a good option for you as well.

Your voice is very calming.

hello , please can you describe how you removed the top drive bar please

[@Spannerman_]

It's bolted to the drums. Remove the bolts as in 3:02 (in the video they have already been removed).

i have one of these the drum nearest to the tractor wheel has stopped working but the other one is still working so where / what do you think the trouble could be thanks

[@Spannerman_]

What happens when you turn the front drum (tractor side) by hand (tractor off obviously)? Does the belt pulley turn or the rear drum? Or none? Then check what happens when you turn the rear drum by hand.

@@Spannerman_ nothing moves when truning the one near to the wheel. second drum turns the belts and pto. theres no noise when i turn the first drum no gratteing or grinding just turns freely

@@orkidknog4147 Souds like something must've broken or sheared off in the drive of the first drum. In any case you'll have to remove the top cover to see what's going on.
