Now this is an attachement

I saw this on the way to work this morning, and I just had to stop and take a couple pictures.

Another one...

And a third.

This is at a sod farm that owns several thousand (perhaps tens of thousands /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif) acres in the the area.

I have to think that the 2 tractor operators must be in constant radio communication to keep that blade(?) in proper alignment!!!

 

[MicroPilot]

Is the blade just attached to the tractors with chains? What keeps the blade from falling over?

 

[DaveNay]

I would say weight....it appeared to be almost solid steel. At the minimum, it was heavy welded plate construction.

Or possibly, it is not attached yet, and they only have the safety chains hooked up at the moment. I never saw it in use /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif.

Keeping the tractors going at least 30mph. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

That is a huge blade. If I were able to actually stand there and look, and then seeing all that land, even that blade would look small. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif Do you remember what model those Cases were?

 

[DaveNay]

I believe they were 275's. This is an enlarged image of my original hi-res picture.

Actually....now that I look again, the left one looks like a 275, and the right one like a 325.

Here is the original image.
