I've actually seen mowers SIP mowers over here in the U.S. I live in Michigan and I seen a place selling them a few years ago. Amazing site. Keep up the great videos. They were hooked too a big Fendt. They said VLM MO 48. Disc 1000c SIP. Just found the pictures of them from July 2020
Personally I thought the sip merger was brilliant to use over the kuhn. As most know kuhn is less than good tbh. The only faults I found in the sip was the pickup reel was ti slow and didn't put the grass ti the back bord so you didn't know you lifted a stone. And the geometry in the headstock was not very good in the outside row in corners. Also the limited belt speed options on isobus. The kuhn has the advantage in them areas. I just don't see the sip falling apart like a kuhn in a year or 2
Great video love the mowers and like donkey said ur very lucky to have sip send out mowers to u fair play to them also i shared this video on my community post 👍🚜
any data regarding fuel usage with that setup ? how many litres / ha for example ? not pr hour. and personally i dont quite see the need for a bigger merger as its so flexible to collect 9m twice in one row and you have have much higher speed compared to normal rotor rake. i was out demoing a front 3m merger and the sales rep were doing 20kmh it long wet grass and it picked it all up nicely so i was really impressed and id imagine the trailed one too could handle higher speeds. only downsides is the cost + the weight of em xd
Hi chap the biggest thing being saved is time, fuel used would be around the same as a conventional 9ft set up over the total of the job, but time is the difference
@@alanchatfield4271 i am fully aware of that. And it means you can take on another job in the same day. Also increasing profit abit. But im still curious on what kind of fuel usage pr hectare/acre this 388hp tractor with 15m mowing does, simple as that😅 Cause the bottom line of economy comes from your input pr acre/ha vs output (silage/grains etc) Its the same as the various research projects ive been on over the last few years. Comparing ploughing vs various reduced tillage tools and direct drilling. There we used L / ha when comparing the tools and used same tractor. Which also calculated in savings and yield variances.
@@SlyFoxl couldn't tell you how many litres per/ha but that jd is sure to be about 55+ litres an hour when working, I see 38 litres an hour on a jd 6215R and thats dyno at 238 on the shaft,, this big set up is without a doubt the most efficient option for bigger fields, paying for it and getting the work for it would probably be the biggest problem lol
Sip mowers are impressive to see😉👍 the combination with the deere makes it even better😁👍
Thanks for the video👍

@@Grassmen np
I saw that mower at the royal Welsh show and donkey was by it that mower is a beast
Both are beasts lol
Just waiting on someone to make this for fs22
Doubt that will happen but I could be wrong
@@harrisakaADHD8VYprobbally be on some sketchy 3rd party website
Very very impressed, a bit too big for Irish fields I think 🤔
No bigger than a 4 rotor... Just need 3 times as much power 😂

Thanks 👍
