Dayum! That mower would probably cost as much as JD's house on 10 acres.

Best $ guess, what, high 200k to low 300k? I dunno, my "expertise", such as it is, stops at around $400.00USD.:wink: That is a real machine..:licking:

It looks really fast -- does anybody know the top speed while mowing?

And how about those dirt strips (parallel to the direction of mowing) -- does it leave those as it mows?

If you watch the second video it show them picking up that stuff from the ground.

Putting it in wind rows makes it easier to pick up.

Anyone know what that is that they are mowing?????

Thats exactly how they cut hay down here. Cut it, rake it, and round bale it. Theres a guy near me who uses a Claas round bailer.
I think that is in europe and they are harvesting alfalfa

My last apparaisal 7 years ago was near a quarter million, but that was before the real estate market tanked. Odds are, that monster mower would cost something like half again as much as my value was back then. From what I can see, it is likely a flail type mower. Be one expensive job replacing all those blades.

That's funny -- I didn't think it looked like cut (and dried) grass. I thought the brown strips were dirt. :laughing:
