not been in farming for a long time, but i recon you have answered the question for him there, if the dealer says 250hp, then why would you put them on a 200 hp tractor, i know other factors come into it, but thats a hell of a shortfall for even a light crop ??

it all comes down to money for him he cant afford to change both but needs to go up to triple mowers to cope with the work he lost alot of work last year we came in to help him in the end .its hard for him as the banks arent as quick at giveing out money as they use to be he has a fairly good outfit he tries to change something every year but its not easy the only reason we run such a good fleet is the boss sold a lot of land for the building game so money doesnt come into it for him but it does for my mate

nice pics like the btd are you giveing her a full refurb

i would suggest he checks with the dealer hes buying the mowers from what hp they require, then see what his tractor puts out, pretty simple basic stuff to be honest that i would have thought all farmers do when buying kit? i know my uncles did when buying new kit

he did this his is only putting 200 on the shaft they are saying at least 250 i know our fendt926 can struggle at times so much so it and the936 have to work apart as it gets in the way

a mate of mine is just after buying a set of triple mowers he is going to put them on a jd 7530 autopower alot of lads are now telling him it wont be able for it there is no one else running a outfit with a tractor that small he is getting worried about it does anyone know of anyone running a tractor of this size on such a outfit have they had any problems thanks
