Deutz Fahr KM24CR

[Boohoo]

So after borrowing a PZ CM165 to mow a few acres I'm thinking about investing a small mower, but would like something a bit wider than 5' 6". I've found what looks like a tidy Deutz Fahr KM24 with conditioner for sale but I'm wondering why these weren't more popular. No shortage of KM22s, we had one ourselves around 20 years ago but not many 24s about and even less with conditioners.
A neighbour had a 6ft JF drum mower with a conditioner years ago and said it was hard to drive but are all 2 drum mowers with conditioners like that?

The hard to drive bit is just the bigger drums isn't it ?
I used a probably 6ft6 2drum samaz mower the other day and was surprised how hard it was to start up

Don't know, hard to start wouldn't worry me so much as being hard to drive all the time. Usually a drum mower is easily driven once up to speed.
