Self-Propelled 30-Ft Disc Mower
Introduced at the Agritechnica show in Germany in November, it is already being marketed in North America by Krone's U.S. division that's headquartered in Arkansas.
Krone built the big mower in response to custom contractors who needed higher performance. The Big M is fitted with three 10-ft. sections of disc mowers and drum-type conditioning units. They leave three separate swaths that are later raked. Wings fold up for a total road width of just 10 ft.
Power is supplied by a 300 hp. Deere diesel. The 4-WD unit is hydrostatically driven. It will mow 25 acres per hour.
Marketing manager Jody McRee says a number of units have already been sold to U.S. farmers.
