Deere-est Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Yeah I reckon they must be the same gang. Cant b all that common. In the same area wher I saw the 900 direct cutting whole crop I just saw an old shame Fendt 800 series with butterfly and front mounted Vicon mowers. It was mowing wheat and although it looked a little on the tired side there wasnt a trace of smoke from the exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
