Looks like a pretty fair field of alfalfa also. Yes, that is one of the things that always gave me pleasure, mowing with WC and side mounted sicklebar mower, but raking was pure heaven. Nothing beats the smell. ------------- When you find yourself in a hole,PUT DOWN THE SHOVEL!!! |

Since I have not seen or sold that type of mower can someone tell me about it?
Looks like a rotary. Does it do a good job on the hay.
Looks sooo much better than a sickle bar mower. Can't be all that much maintenance.
Thanks in advance.
Good Luck!

Hey Bill, I'm running a 1345 Hesston just like this one only newer.If you ran one of these you'd never run a sickle again,unless it's just for fun on an old AC. It takes about 15 minutes to change all the knives, and can mow about 15 acres an hour. Takes alot of horse though.
Mike.
