956XL on 8 ton kane and 7610 with 7740 engine on 10 ton Kane. Reason for the bigger trailer on the smaller tractor is that he has poor brakes and the kane has trailer brakes

Nice to see a Jaguar 695 working, Haven't seen one in years, there used be loads of them around here , they disappeared all of a sudden
Was in a dealers about 20 years ago lifting a 2nd mower when a nice looking one drove in, said to the salesman that would be better for a farmer than a trailed outfit & he said it's dead on till you have to go to our parts counter as parts for them are a fortune.

i ran both and recon self propelled cheaper per acre yes parts more money but last years longer once blades and barred it will last a farmer a few years unlike a drag
