[QUOTE="John SD, post: 1338715, member: 14713"] I now run a MacDon 5000 16' pull type conventional moco with conditioner. But for covering a lot of acres fast, and if you don't care about conditioning or making windrows, it's still hard to beat an old school sickle bar mower :idea: Rowse mower spec page claims their 18' mowers can cover 10+ acres/hr @ 5mph. 17+ acres/hr @ 8 mph. Same as any other machinery, new sickle mowers are more expensive than they used to be, but still a lot of bang for the buck. IMO this is the reason a lot of new ones are still being sold :2cents: [url=http://www.rowserakes.com/pto-drive-double-bar-mower-specs/]http://www.rowserakes.com/pto-drive-dou ... wer-specs/[/url] I've always been intrigued by the "Baler Connection" sold by the JD dealer.
