human bean Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 nice one! Q; (in the real world) is the Hp pf the chopper not a bit OTT for 3 mowers, which a smaller tractor could pull? would it not just use up more fuel? bean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakescot Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 nice one! Q; (in the real world) is the Hp pf the chopper not a bit OTT for 3 mowers, which a smaller tractor could pull? would it not just use up more fuel? bean Nice model, I did one too.norscot claas bought cheaper with no grass header put the same siku claas gang onto it. A contractor round here uses his old claas SPFH with the claas 3 mower set up, apparently the chopper needed a lot of cash spendin on it, was getting old , but they said the engine was ok...........it isnt one of the giants and he says the work rates achieved prove more cost effective with that machine than his 150 hp Ford and trailed mower.......?? they replaced the chopper with a new Claas for 04 season....... On a similar note there is a guy who works in the stranraer and south ayrshire area uses a Krone Big M and again he says the work rates achieved easily justify the expense and he has no problems using it rather than a trailed mower. I have only seen two guys running a front mower along with the trad rear trailed mower one uses a JD 6810 .....claas mounted mowers front and rear and cut 90 acres in 10 hours .I`d say that was pretty good going given the fields we have here. The other guy runs a big Ford dont ask me the number its an 83 something but its massive looking, he has a claas on the front and a big trailed Claas on the back John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelfarms Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Yes it was from Germany and think it was 100 euros but I bought it as I did not think Siku would build one however never thought of UH and I'm sure that next month when their version is released it will be much superior. Never mind I'll have 2 and they will be different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the other green Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 It doesn't matter how good UH's model is, that's a really good conversion. Well worth the dosh and this is comin' from someone who doesn't normally buy conversions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
