What working width or what hopper size is required to complete that job in the field - and in an appropriate time? How efficient is that machine per hour, per day or even over the entire season?

The Profihopper 1500 SmartLine self-propelled mower offers a professional, high performance machine with the ultimate in output. Thanks to a working speed of up to 10 km/h and a cutting width of 1.50 m, area outputs of up to 15,000 m² per hour are possible.
