[QUOTE="Atimm693, post: 1765849, member: 26138"] We looked at those as well, were turned off by the lack of shear protection in the cutterbar. The cutterbars also aren't modular. Which is good and bad I guess. Our 313 has 13 gearboxes total and it takes a while to service them lol. Center vs side pull really depends on how you like to mow your fields. If you just go in a circle it doesn't make a lot of difference, if you like to run back and forth it does since you don't have the split the field and end up with triangles. It's also kinda nice to be able to steer the mower around corners and stuff, can't hardly steer to the left with a side pull that's folded up. Most center pivots also have a 2pt or drawbar swivel hitch that is way easier on the driveline and you can turn a lot sharper. [/QUOTE]
