If you can get a fusion down the road and in the gate a 10’ mower won’t be a problem.

Where is that fine field ,the place for sale in Ardfert ?
Nice pictures @Peter
Those sheds in the last picture look like the old slatted sheds built in the 70's/80's. Unusual to see

It was done in two sections he mowed the second bit 47 acres in just about 4 hours.
He doesn't quite push as hard as I do so I'd say I'd have done it in 3.5

Small fields in Kerry, we are all being led astray.

That's 2 pits, there's a concrete wall down the middle
Would that style not still be common in Scotland @fraserb

We have a couple where the baler goes but a 10' trailed won't.

do you not reverse in ,steering the mower with the drawbar ram?

Or drive in turning left and open out the drawbar then steer it in.
Is this screw doing anything related to what you are talking about?
Sorry for quality of the underneath photo.

No @redpower you can see the flap in the first pic immediately after/above the conditioner and the handle for adjusting its angle is on the RHS of the mower above the top link for adjusting the angle of the bed.
I tried adjusting the flap you adjusted as well and opened the doors out full width and took the folded pieces bolted low down where it narrows, it made no difference, it needs to be directed Down right after the conditinner or else the grass from the sides gets directed into the middle by angle of the sides of the mower after the conditioner. I half considered making one but thought better of it as knowing my luck it’d end wrappedaround the conditioner!

Not enough room, the drawbar is too long.

I made 1 a few years ago in a bit of an afternoon, was a good job but had to take it out again as it fouls the flow of grass going to the grouper, ( which is mostly what that mower does now) can put it back on in a few mins, need someone to slide the pin in but can drop it out on my own.

heard one story once where one farmer was very "picky" to put it nicely. has a laneway to the farm and 2 points of entry to said laneway. 1st is from the road where the entrance was just over 10ft wide and narrowed to 9ft flanked by concrete walls and pillars on one side as some houses are boundsing the lane and the other is either stone walls or that section of the lane was cut into a high part of some shale. the other access is through some fields which the farmer owns and has a wide gate for them by the road join up on a good wide part of the lane after the narrow section. contractor with the 10ft mower turned up and the farmer told him and then gave off telling him to not go through the fields which were gonna be cut anyway and told him to go through the narrow part of the lane. funnily enough the mower was actually stuck in between a rock and a hard place the loader was needed to lift the mower up over the walls. that was the 1st and last time a 10ft mower been down that lane since
