Machines That Amaze

Eric Babbie

By John T. Ryan

Peru –  A mowing machine was cutting forage this morning along the Barney Downs Road. The operator, Eric Babbie of Adirondack Farms, said the Pottinger NOVACAT ST12 can cut about 300 acres of hay daily. The machine cuts a 36-foot swath and operates at 10 to 12 miles an hour.

Babbie was mowing a beautiful cover crop of triticale and peas. There’s alfalfa growing underneath and in a few weeks it will be harvested.
