@How much; that’s some clip! Certainly raises the argument for a high capacity trailed machine!!

I did think but that Deutz is i think a 6215 so "only" around 226hp but looking at the speed and throughput it looks to be in at least mid range SP territory that would be what 400 to 450 Hp these days ? , you assume the grass is dryish but it looks very impressive and if it could do that all all every day why buy a SP ?

That's not even the biggest of there's a 1460 as well.
It's not the biggest crop ever but certainly going well when most spfh would be 200hp more

There is the flywheel deep growl and the drum that sounds like it's protesting it's existence doing its job. I like both. JF turned from you and moving through work is a unique tone though.
