mx113, could you take anything from the cutter demonstration?.....with that many cutters going at once it might be hard to take in anything definitive.I just took delivery of a new deere 6115m a couple of weeks ago and thought I had a big tractor until going to the expo. My new one seems like a riding mower after seeing all that equipment down there yesterday. Seeing 10 different cutters literally running side by side was incredible. I'm definitely going to make that trip a "must do" from now on
They run a few feet (one pass usually) and stop so that you know which windrow is being produced by the machine...mx113, could you take anything from the cutter demonstration?.....with that many cutters going at once it might be hard to take in anything definitive.

I believe my buddy told me 148k is what he sold a new w235 for last week.What's with the NH self propelled? New look.
Wish I could get my hands on that JD self propelled.
Looking at the cut rows from each machine, I couldn't say one looked better or worse than the other. I was leaning towards the new kuhn flail machine before I went, and unless a bargain comes along on another machine before next spring, that is what I'll be going with. Some of the machines were ruled out on based simply on how flimsy they looked running out there. The deere, kuhn and krone were all good looking machines. I asked a couple of the reps about flail vs roller for my situation. Kuhn rep was very thorough and explained how there machine worked and was quite helpful. Krone rep simply said he was not the one to ask. Not sure why he was there at all really as he had no answers. I just believe the Kuhn will work best for my farm and have always has good luck with there disc mower, tedder and rake.mx113, could you take anything from the cutter demonstration?.....with that many cutters going at once it might be hard to take in anything definitive.

We saw the big JD Cotton Picker last year at the Expo, it is so tall I'd be surprised if it would go under some utility lines around here.Did the cotton picker make an "entrance"? Kinda looks like it. The Deere windrower proportions are out of wack. As tall as it is now it needs a 20' head to look right.
In reality that's cheaper and more productive then going to buy a tractor and cutter.I believe my buddy told me 148k is what he sold a new w235 for last week.
It was a fifty anniversary edition.......What's with the NH self propelled? New look.
