What size mower for Massey 3070

Hi all,

Looking at upgrading my old two drum mower for a wider disc mower to be able to cover more ground (Krone Activemow or similar) What sort of size would folks recommend behind a Massey 3070? Not wanting to stress it too much, don't want to break the rear casing/cross arms at all! Was thinking 2.4m?
Cheers

Try and get a trailed mower, a lot easier on a tractor, I used to put a trailed 9' mower conditioner on a MF 3070 and on steep ground, no problems at all. no way would I take a mounted mower conditioner on the steep fields I used to farm.

I didn't know that Twose made PZ copies. Not much hope against East European companies that copied the same PZ original design but cheaper. Unless this is indeed and E European copy that has been re-plated and rebranded by Twose?
I think you can still get the original PZ, now in orange built by Kuhn…. Yep!

That mower looks exactly the same as our sip drum mower

I would think 2.4 or 2.5 ish.
Mounted or trailed?
Conditioner or not?
Sorry should have said! Mounted, no conditioner. One of the other things I should have mentioned is we are tight on undercover storage space, like the fact you can store those Krones in the vertical position 😎
