Anybody seen one of these in action? When I worked on a nature reserve, we used to get a contractor in with one of these and a rear-mounted fingerbar mower to cut partially-submerged reeds in a marsh. A local farmer would bring in his old MF and a Votex topper to do the grass in the drier areas, however, last time I was there when it was done the vegetation was a bit too tough for the topper and the gearbox was starting to overheat. One of the rear safety flaps on the Votex was also badly buckled. Here's the website for the Softrak: http://www.edenconservation.co.uk/softrak.htm

...and a final shot

Took these pictures in August last year near Kilmacolm, Inverclyde in west Scotland. This same kit seems to be working in the local area again (probably contracting or equipment ring) and is parked at a farm a few miles away in Linwood.

Final shot...

Final flail shot...

Another flail shot...

Flail...

Took these shots of this rig in the Forestry Commission yard at Glenbranter near Dunoon in Argyll, Scotland yesterday.

What date is this show? Any weblinks?

There's a JD and a Krone Big Baler available (I only have the latter). It fits my Case MXU and JCB Fastrac with no problems. Detail is a bit poor on the Krone, pickup head in particular, plus bale chamber at the top. There's only a Vicon RF round baler at the moment - again, lacking in real detail, but it does fit the above tractors fine.
