All of these pictures are getting me quite itchy, we are still covered in snow where I am and am getting pelted in it yet again as we speak
Great pictures Sascha, please keep them coming!
Few moving arm models down my way I believe, as there are smaller fields with more obstacles much like the UK. As you move further west however, you are most likely to see center fixed mounts with the larger fields.
Out in the Midwest where most of the farming takes place, fields are literally just flat large blocks with no curves around trees or slopes like some of you might have in the UK. Therefore, no real need for a moving arm when the center mount works fine.
Quite interesting, I thought for a while that most farms in my part of MA used mostly newer machinery, I suppose I am mistakened. My uncle still uses machinery from the 50's on his farm on a regular basis, all the way from Farmall Cubs to 50's Ford Flatbed trucks. It's great that the equipment from that era has lasted as long as it has, it's good to know that other farms in MA still have older machinery earning their keep. If it's not broke, why fix it eh?
