You want some horsepower infront of this yoke. This was the mower the local Agricultural college had. they get special deals from manufacturers in Germany to use and trial new products

Twin beacon alert

Not a bad looking yoke.
I'd prefer beacons on back of cab though

Weren't they 16ft mowers? 2 contractors had them here. Not for long though. Needed another tractor on the rake as they left single swarths.
Used to eat U joints and pto stub shafts for fun from what i heard. Rare sight now I'd say

Be some job to get it through a 12ft gate off a road id say

The wee set up.

Only a donkey of a yoke. Butterfly mowers much easier to manoeuvre and take wider cut. Half the day gone taking that yoke up and down off the trailer but some lads would be in their element at it and all the while the silage still standing!!

there's no trailer. the roads wheels lift up an the drawbar swings around to the field position. in approx 25 to 30 seconds. its built fir the wide ebtrances and flat fields of Germany and France. they were never ment to be for the UK or Ireland, but the dealerships wanted them a a toy/showpiece. This machine had 2 seasons done and the picture was taken in September 2010

A red one something like it (Taarup I think) cut silage here for a couple of years, but narrow entrances on to narrow roads wasn't a problem to it, they just used the drawbar as a kind of steering axle. It was a 15ft cut, the one in the pic looks more, but there was a swarther as well

90% of lads using a trailed mower haven't a clue how to pull one along or get hem into narrow entrances. Would only need the road to be as wide as mower is long and entrance to be 6" wider to get it in.

Once you're turning left into the field you're grand most of the time. Use the ram to steer the mower through

No point in me putting up a pic of what I have at home, so here's some blue for Reggie.

Nearly 20 years ago when I was a harvest student in England. One of the best machines I ever drove (6640) super handy tractor for all kinds of work, tried to cajole the father to buy one when I came home but they were very rare here.

And what has to be the worst yoke I ever set foot in (Sanderson) straw stacking bales and filling a grain drier, loading chicken shyte with no air con is not pleasant in 30 deg heat. Not a day went past that she didn't burst a seal or a hose...

The F140 was a hoor of a cumbersome tractor, but she was great for ploughing as she could grip something super, fastract was kept on the baler and others were mostly used for feeding and spraying.

I helped out on this maize harvest one weekend in Germany as i had nothing eslse to do and they were looking for help. They love fendt in Southern Germany but have a good few Styer also. The wagons are massive coupled with flotation tires that are about 2 foot wide.

The wee fendt in the second picture looks tiny infront of the wagon!

The "wee" fendt is a 818 and the big bus was a 930 or a 936, i cant remember which.

This one of the Styers. I dont know much about them, but i think they have a lot of Agco parts. This has an ordinary tipping trailer, which i dint see many of in Germany.

Same as a Case CVX or New Holland TVT.
No AGCO in them. Steyr owned by CNH.
