nashmach Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 One morning I was going to check on some cattle and what pulls up only one the local contractors with his 30' mowers. You could hardly see his driver over the steering wheel :D Note all the diesel tanks on the front. This has some appetite for work as in one hour he cleared 14 acres and this photo was taken at 8.30 in the morning so he was clearly out at 7.30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihatepoundland Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 it does look like a neat bit of kit, like the rest of the kit you've posted, it seems well geared up for the task. OT, but apart from the fendt 9**, what other current tractors offer reverse drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPN Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Looks well, what horse would she be? She's rated at 160, but there's a little button (Sigma Power) you can press to take her up close to 200hp (180hp at the pto). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is right Stan - under pressure too with that mower - same contractor also runs / ran a similar unit on a Case MX 270 with one mower on the front and 2 on the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPN Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 intresting , suerly its easier to have a normal tractor with front hitch and away you go though isnt it?? A lot of late 90s Valtras seem to have come with reverse drive (presumably for demonstration purposes). I know one guy with at least two reverse drive Valtras (8400 and 6800 - and I think his 8950 is reverse drive too). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
