    A question for you, can front links and pto be retro fitted to an Mf 5465?
    This is with a view to fitting a front mower.

    of course they can but you usaully get it fitted when buying the tractor new , as for getting one second hand might be hard as they are not out long enough yet , i ed say it could cost you in or around 6 k to fit it now , i would try the uk on the internet for one second hand ,

    What size mowers are you thinking of putting on her? I thought they'd be a bit small for two?

    I have a 10 foot mounted Krone with no conditioner we hoping to put an 8 on the front if not too expensive.
    We have no hills to speak of and the tractor could run this mower in its sleep!!
    Maybe 2 would be too much

    She'd horse it out of it on level going. Hard to beat six pots.

    are you cutting that many acres to justify the cost and also the awkwardness of having a front mower. if you only have a rear mower on its easy drop off. If you have front and back it will be a pain to drop off both. what speed are you currently cutting at. presume cutting light stuff you can top 20km/hr:cool: with one mower. most contractors switch back to single mowers from double mowers for differing reasons. you wouldnt be thinking of going zero grazing:D

    Thinking out loud. Would be mowing large area not enough to jusitfy the cost. I travel at 16km/hr. Deffo no z-grazing we did it in the 90's no way would I do again:mad::mad:
