If the money is right who knows where you end up
what harry Wilson doesn't tell you is that in the 70's he sold off loads off land and that's why he is loaded !

Sure that is his own business and not speculation for internet forums.what harry Wilson doesn't tell you is that in the 70's he sold off loads off land and that's why he is loaded !

he didnt have front and rear mowers and got fed up with the single mower so sold it and started something else. i dont see a problem, maybe if he had front and rear it wouuld have been different.
how does the mounted follow on corners or what is the overlap, never used any just a trail. thinking next mower maybe rear mounted to get to ten ft but still go through narrow gates, maybe front mower sometime
shunt wouldnt be nice on harveter but ok for baler, could still use the trailed for all the harvester though. like the idea that a mounted wouldnt slide out of the hills.
I have switched from a trailed kv mower to a front and rear mounted kv mowers this year, so far I am very pleased with them. The only big downside to this combination is road transport, on small and bendy country roads the front mower is a big machine to meet coming around a bend, but in the fields there are a great outfit.
On that point, what became of those krone (I think) double width trailed mowers? The end tow ones? Are they still made?
Would be far easier and safer on roads. And end tow would get it in most gaps a silage trailer would get into!
Plus the bonus of not needing front links and PTO.

Pottinger t8 is a awesome looking piece of kit. Was a lad asked about one when on the factory tour a couple of years ago it included a front mower but was £90kSaw a kv (i think) end tow lately, down north Wexford behind a fendt, think it would have been a 4m had a grouper on it to, it was behind a wall when i saw it and i couldn't make out what the hell i was looking at at first as all i could see was the grouper up in the air behind the tractor!
Lely do one with 2 beds, think its 5.8m or something, there's also the potty novacat t8! Now thats a serious lump of a mower! Would suit [MENTION=1744]jcb411abuser[/MENTION] perfectly! 30ft wide trailed, if you had the power you could stick another ten ft up front :D

The lely 550p is a disc only. It's non conditioner.
The taarup is a 4040, there were quite a few about. But it has to go up on a trolley for transport.
There was a vicon which was 6m, was basically a 3m with a 3pl that had a 3m mounted hung on it.
Just a standard set of triples mounted on the frame so you just need to change the mowers and keep frame when upgrading.Would 90k be reasonable enough considering your looking at 4 mowers and a monster frame to carry 3 of them, well when compared to the price of a standard 10ft like. Price per foot of bed is probably reasonable enough?
Id forgotten the lely was only a plain disc!

Drawbar mounted engine and tow with 120hp ish?Thought id read that was the case alright, id still imagine its working out relatively ok in comparison to a standard 10ft trailed id imagine.
Has a lot of the benefits of triples without you needing a big lump of a tractor to carry them, i know in reality the tractor to drive them over here will need to be that big anyways from a power point of view, but its a fair saving on the tires and back end of tractor to...

Talking about 90k mowers is interesting, Prices and views of front and rear mounted mowers would be more interesting. :001_smile:
