We run two Claas cutters, one is on a 7280R and one is on a 8285R and we are happy with them. Simple to run, and with iTEC in the tractors, it makes it really easy. A&C probably wouldn't give you the best service on a Pottinger, I have never seen one leave their lot and they don't do much with that brand. Modern Farm in Sauk Centre sells Krone, I have a friend west of Sauk with a Big M, and they seem to like the krone mowers, but they don't have very good service. Personally I would go with a Claas, because Arnold's is so close by for you and they will give good service, even if they have to send someone from the Willmar or St. Martin store. The merger might not match up with 10' swaths though. We have Oxbo 330's, which match up for our swaths.
