New mower

[Down in Dixie]

Well after breaking multiple lift arms on my 3 pt hay mower I put it on a mower caddy. Guess some of my rough hay ground finally did it in on my mower. Cutter bar has a slight bend at the base and is leaking oil. Decided to bite the bullet and get a trailered mower. Should be a big ungraded for my small operation. The .9% interest rate helps also. Loading the tractor up now and heading to the field to try it out.

Wow what a difference it was. Wish I would have upgraded years ago. We bought the Kuhn mower back in 2005 or 06 so I think we got our money out of it. It's only about a foot bigger cut but seems like it took me less time to cut the same field.

That's a really nice mower. Most guys around here run Vermeer mowers and rakes.

How many ponies does it take to run it?

I ran a Vermeer TM-800 for 8 yrs. Zero trouble with it. Only reason I traded it was to buy a MOCO, to cut drying time.

No conditioners so it shouldn't take too many horsepowers to run.
