Which Massey Tedder do u have? 4 or 6 rotor, probably change our tedder it’s a 4 rotor KV, was going to price a Massey good to hear ur happy with urs any problems with it.Iv heard good things about the new Malone tedders, good few using them around here, we do a lot of tedding on hire with a massey tedder (originally fella) really like it much better than the lelly it replaced, I think the straight tines are a better job but that’s just my opinion
If u buy a new malone for 20 acres a year I say if u look after it, it should see you out.Should i buy a lely lotus 520 or a new malone 4 rotor i will only be doing around 20 acres per year and the lely looks in serious condition
Thanks
For 20 acres there is no way I'd buy a new tedder, 3 hr's work if you take your time, go with the Lely if it is as you say in good condition.Should i buy a lely lotus 520 or a new malone 4 rotor i will only be doing around 20 acres per year and the lely looks in serious condition
Thanks
It’s a 6 rotar td776 I think. It’s 2016 now and would be doing a nice shot most summers, I wouldn’t buy any other tedder only a massey oneWhich Massey Tedder do u have? 4 or 6 rotor, probably change our tedder it’s a 4 rotor KV, was going to price a Massey good to hear ur happy with urs any problems with it.
Yes I think you're right. Lely were probably the dogs bol$%x but they were a fair price new. Wouldn't mind seeing a malone in the flesh.Isnt vicon in the pedigree, seen a kv 7.6metre and though it was a bit on the light side
A rebadged Kverneland/ViconSorry to hijack the thread. Just wondering if anyone knows anything about the kubota turners? Are they just a rebadged kverneland?
Thanks for that. Would the kverneland tedders have a good reputation?A rebadged Kverneland/Vicon
Depends on the size but they have medium and heavy duty in certain sizes from what I rememberThanks for that. Would the kverneland tedders have a good reputation?
Thanks for that. I'll do more research into them so and how they compare to the competitionDepends on the size but they have medium and heavy duty in certain sizes from what I remember
Sorry for the short reply. Local lad to me tedded some hay with a six-rotor Kverneland and even at a couple of years old the safety bars had cracked from fatigue. The heavier duty Kverneland has six tine arms per rotor the lower spec machine five.Thanks for that. I'll do more research into them so and how they compare to the competition
Tis a Khun I have. Not kvKv 6 rotor here and very happy with it. Couldn't consider it light in any way
Any tedder can do a bad job in the hands of the wrong operator, had a lad in with a Lely a few years ago and he made lumps of 20 acres plus doing the fool on the headlands and doubling it up at the start of every run, needless to say he didn't get the job again and got paid half what he asked for, charging through it isn't the way, you have to give the machine time to tease out the crop.Anyone here operating a 6 rotor pottinger .have heard the krone can be lumpy.lad tedded 2nd cut for me and it wasnt alot better than a haybob but in fairness to him and the machine , it was getting late and he did say he would have to drive that bit quicker as he is a fireman also and was on call.
I find 7kph is the sweet spotAny tedder can do a bad job in the hands of the wrong operator, had a lad in with a Lely a few years ago and he made lumps of 20 acres plus doing the fool on the headlands and doubling it up at the start of every run, needless to say he didn't get the job again and got paid half what he asked for, charging through it isn't the way, you have to give the machine time to tease out the crop.
Yep. Pretty sure it's the HD modelSorry for the short reply. Local lad to me tedded some hay with a six-rotor Kverneland and even at a couple of years old the safety bars had cracked from fatigue. The heavier duty Kverneland has six tine arms per rotor the lower spec machine five.
