Fransgard 5'6'' drum mower

locky76

I've one of these located for ~€1,500, are they any good, this one is in mint condition, stored indoors, greased regularly etc. etc.
I've 40 acres of light meadowing to cut every year, around 7 bales to the acre...
I'm going buying my own mower as at 7 bales it is adding too much to the cost of each bale to get someone in.
Any opinions on the Fransgard 5'6'' drum mower appreciated;)
