Self-Propelled 30-Ft. Disc Mowers Demonstrated At Empire Farm Show
The "Big M" 30-ft. self-propelled disc mower from Krone Niemeyer has been getting a lot of attention at farm shows for the past couple of years. Some new competition was on display and also demonstrated in the field at the recent Empire Farm Show near Seneca Falls, N.Y.
  The Pottinger Multicat 9000 is fitted with three 10-ft. sections of disc mowers and drum-type conditioning units. All three sections can be mounted on back of a bi-directional tractor. On conventional tractors equipped with front and rear 3-pt. hitches, one section can be mounted on front of the tractor and the other two sections pulled behind the tractor on either side. It leaves three separate swaths that are later raked.
  "It works great with a bi-directional tractor because the driver can watch all three mower sections without having to turn around," says dealer Bob Searles.
