I’ve got one ,had it 15 years,apart from knocking one of the arms off on a water trough it has been a good machine.
Thats a trailed one though, not suspended on the three point linkage.

The 644 is on wheels as well for raking. Basically no different to a trailed one except its carried for transport rather than towed .

Yes we have a vicon rake, its a 804. Can't fault it for what it does

We almost went for a mounted twin rotor Kuhn, am honestly glad we didn't now. I would challenge anyone to show me a smaller, tighter, steeper field with crap access worse than some of the ones we get and I'm still glad we went for the steering trailed version.
Know of folk with Vicon rakes that are happy with them. Would definitely recommend looking at steering trailed.

You won’t know yourself if you get a twin rotor. Think how much more Thatchers time you’ll have!

Andex 804, its a 2017 model and apart from bushes for the front 2 wheel legs and keeping it greased it doesn't ask for anything.

3k more for? Not trailed steering kit surely?!About 3k more , stick it on the never never over 3 yrs
Im led to believe the small trailed twin rota rakes are around about 14k, the one on the three point linkage which hfd is thinking of buying was on offer at the three counties show today for 11k.
