Great video, seems a lot of European equipment, I use a Cat 270 in front.

Here we have them moles (is that the same as gophers?) and not so flat land so disc mower is the best.

@farmer1256 maybe you could dig a mote of sorts around your fields and fill it with conrete not sure how deep or how much $ but its a thought i aint a hay farmer

@farmer1256 I know what your talking about with gophers. they are a pain. the guys that have mowers love them. They just destroy the mounds. The biggest problem I've heard is that the dirt from the mound gets in your swath then that lowers the price if your selling the hay. The other thing ya gotta watch out for is stones. I'm putting up 2 million + ibs of roughage every year. We have a gopher getter. Works pretty good but the fail safe way always seems to be breaking up the old stands.

I live in western iowa, and we do alot of hay. We have alot of trouble with pocket gophers. I dont see any gopher mounds in your fields. What do you use to control them. We have tried poisons, anhydrous, the gopher blaster, and can't get rid of them. would love to have a mower like that. but with our gopher probelm, it would be a night mare, you would always be out of the cab cleaning the slots between the disc out. We run a 1431 new holland now. Appreicate any suggestions.
