Big mower tackles job like a flyweight

Last year I took a ride on this 30-foot self-propelled mower, and was amazed how easily it mowed a two-acre field.

You’d think the big machine was far too large and clumsy, but it tackled the job like a flyweight, in and out of corners, because the New Holland S1900 forage harvester on which the mowers are fitted turns on a sixpence.

Couple this with hydrostatic drive, which means the engine and PTO turn at a constant speed, while the forward and reverse speed can be altered at will.
