The one in the second picture (the red one) is like mine, made in Turkey under several badges. Great machine, few moving parts, built like a tank, priced right. Only takes a few minutes to change blades and where I buy them they are 25 cents apiece, are sharp on both sides so you can use them on one drum and when worn, move to the other drum and cut with the other side.
Once you run one of these babies, I doubt you will go back to a sicklebar. Just no comparison.
Some folks don't like the windrows produced like in the second picture. Personally that solves one of the problems I always had with sickles: getting a clean, full cut of the next row. Additionally, your tractor tires are not rolling on cut grass when you come around for the next lap and I like that too.....if your tractor is setup on the same dimension as the cutter. I have a 6' cutter and my tractor tires are at 6'.
Some folks don't like the road position of the red one which is straight out the back, but if you change out the bar on the right, holding up the outside of the cutter with a hydraulic cylinder, you can stow the cutter like you see in the first picture and changing from road to mow position is as simple as moving a hydraulic lever.
