WHAAAAAAT how the heck is a claas that cheap with you?!?! Is that straight deal?Down to decision time. Krone coming in at 8250e and claas 9000. Krone dealer is new and claas is well established. Can't decide
No lad trading in a nine year old Khun. The thing is when priced straight there was only a difference of 150e between both. I really like the class but I'd say if I pushed krone again I'd get it for 8kWHAAAAAAT how the heck is a claas that cheap with you?!?! Is that straight deal?
Sounds like you are getting a right good whack for your old Kuhn.....Down to decision time. Krone coming in at 8250e and claas 9000. Krone dealer is new and claas is well established. Can't decide
Ya against the krone getting 4250 and round 3500 against the class. Now it's in good condition. Always minded and serviced and washed and oiled up. Followed it myself alot of the timeSounds like you are getting a right good whack for your old Kuhn.....
You must be buying a straight mower non mocoYa against the krone getting 4250 and round 3500 against the class. Now it's in good condition. Always minded and serviced and washed and oiled up. Followed it myself alot of the time
No conditioner. No point for usYou must be buying a straight mower non moco
We mow our main crops without conditioner and getting on better then mowing Nd conditioner. Use mainly for topping after thatWould it be ok to mow light crops for bales with a non conditioner mower? It would be rowed up usually by the contractor. May do something as regards a mower here too, really for topping quickly, have an old 1360 which needs a new bed and it's hard to get the time to mow for the main crop silage. It would save the contractor a lot of coming and going if we could mow for bales ourselves though.

That was more the tedding than the mowingStill cut our 50-60 acres a year here with a drum mower, although there are talks about buying a disc Mower in the past year. Nothing done yet though. Most our first cut is hay.
For second cut silage I shake it out once or twice depending on conditions. This year raked it myself with a claas 20ft rake that I was after repairing for a lad. Made a great job of it, it doesn't leave a wisp behind. Saved baling time too cause crops were light.
When silage is left in conditioner mower rows the top goes dry, but the bottom is as green as the day it was cut. Neighbour and myself were both very impressed with this year's second cut I made, was nicer stuff than his first cut.
Oh I know yes, but I'm just saying he can well manage without a conditioner.That was more the tedding than the mowing
Have a claas 2650 here since 2016. It does nice work and no bother cutting heavy grass with it .Took the plunge and went for claas. I left both sales men alone for a couple of days to see who would come back to me and needles to say claas man was 1st outa the trap. Kinda tells me they would look after you if anything went wrong down the line. Done a deal so waiting for it to come in now. Bring on silage

Were you talking about this before I seem to remember? Same type skid on the butterflys here someone has welded old silage harvester knives on where the skid is in most contact with the ground.Looking for new skids for our backup mower. Claas 3100 C. Gets dragged out when we are busy, good chance ittl give up on us before going through a new set of skids, which would cost over 1k to buy, mower isn't worth a whole pile more than that. especially as it leaks oil out, and as we found this morning, water in....
And of course the skids on the new claas mower are diferent so buying a new set then swapping onto it in the future is out!!
So. Plan is to look for a breaker machine. And take a chance on used skids. If we got some for £500 the set I'd be happy.
Mower takes these skids:

Non quick change blade skids have a hole rather than dent, not sure would they do as there wouldn't be room for the blade holder to move
I was yes. We ordered some. And as I was taking the old skids off I found an oil leak in the bed! So we panicked and bought a new mower! And sent the new skids back!!Were you talking about this before I seem to remember?

I'll be doing the same when they wear
@Profi Farmer Not many spurious makers supply those skids it seems. Fairly sure Kramp actully wanted more than Claas for some! They are quite a price compared to other manufacturers! Kuhn is less than half.
Five of these type which should/hopefully fit plus the wear strips at the bottom.Looking for new skids for our backup mower. Claas 3100 C.
