Another Big Self-Propelled Mower
Deutz-Fahr also exhibited a giant new self-propelled mower at Agritechnica. The 240 hp. "Grasant" is 20 ft. wide. It uses a new process to condition hay within the body of the machine which the company says results in faster drying times. Hay is augered from the folding disc mower across the front of the machine to an elevator that brings it inside the machine. A larged cylinder and two smaller rollers condition the hay before spreading it back out in a wide drying swath behind the machine. The machine will cover 15 acres per hour.
