    The price,
    The cheapest drum mower is around 2000
    The cheapest disc mower is around 4000

    The disc mower is lighter and easier on the tractor, it also is less susceptible to damage from stones

    Before we dropped doing our own silageing altogether, I did pretty much all the mowing for the best part of 20 years; the first 5-6 with a Claas 3-drum mower, and the remainder with JF/John Deere disc mowers.
    I was ALWAYS of the opinion that the drum mower did a neater/cleaner job and was easier to drive than the disc mowers (no conditioner on it though, which would make a big difference), but that may have been just the nature of those particular mowers or the way I was operating them.
