jasonf,
The rotary cutter is one of the pieces I didn't get a good picture of. But I'll tell you I looked at all of them. They looked great. Every one of them looked the same. Jim explained to me how they make every cutter come out of the plant exactly the same.
Every one of the guys there was super to talk to.

Pieter has been telling me that First choice is going to be releasing a new line of flail mowers soon. In yiur picture there appeared to be a boom mounted flail mower. Did you see any horizontal 3pt flail mowers?

I was very impressed with every piece that was there. The rotary cutters looked great.
Pieter even mentioned he had a lot of new dealer prospects. That would be great to get more First Choice dealers out there.

The only one on display was a Boom mower.......
PTO operated as well. Do not need the tractor hydraulics for it to work

Jerry,
Great photos, thanks for the updates. Looks like it was as hot as every there. I attended last year to look over the PowerTrac units and lost 7 lbs. in the heat. Sure would have like to make it this year but was not an option.
Thanks again for sharing the photos.

pj,
It was terribly hot. I felt sorry for the guys that had to stay outside and tend the equipment.

Jerry,

When I read your posts Saturday I actually thought about getting up early Sunday and heading down to Louisville to see the show, meet Pieter and Jim, see the things there and hopefully run into some other TBN'er's like yourself in the flesh. I liked that plan until I went to the weather site and saw the prediction for Sunday there. I then thought that a ten hour round trip broken by a few hours in 90+ temperatures just wasn't me. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

It sure would have been nice to see the show (especially the First Choice stuff) and meet everyone but I think those temps might have been too much for me to really enjoy myself there. Maybe if they do something like this in the fall. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif
