Hi Paul,

Marketfarm.com, in SW Pennsylvania, has a motorized
greens harvester. May be the one Sutton markets.
Brand new ones are $17K and are about 3 feet wide.
They said typical turn around time on the investment
is 3 years or so. But they did have a used one last
time I checked, for $11K or $12K.

But if you had the time, and were good at welding, you
could make it yourself, as I've read in magazines
about several farmers doing this on their own.
