Does anyone know if crown wheel and pinions are available for these rakes? Had a look on the online parts catalogs and can’t seem to find them listed. May be an idea to look at the vicon parts of anyone knows what the equivalent model is? The rake is a 2011 model. any help would be appreciated

Only thing mine checked was if the window washer worked.

If you can’t tell, I’ve a hole in my camera lens 🤦‍♂️

Slightly off topic, but what has the photo and caption stating greenhouse gas emissions got to do with retirement? Classic bbc sniping

I should note ours are sand filled

‘Shred and recycle’ we got ours from, they were advertising in the back of fw. They did local school and just rang up a couple of days before

Yeh would be fine, we just find most rakes leave the swath too wide for the reel, so occasionally leaves a clump of grass.

In a very heavy cut we would row two 8foot rows into one using a haybob 380, now we do three cuts and put 3/4 rows in front of an 850. Mower was a jf 245 so only left a narrow swath which was spot on for the haybob.

Looking at it I don’t think I got an email to say I’d booked it, I just got one to say it was postponed due to lockdown, then another to confirm a date after the instructor had rang up.

To be fair I had a date for the end of next month, and they moved it forward so I got to do it a fortnight ago... handy really

Have you had a look in this thread just for further reading

What size tyres is it on now?

Could have been sold, these aren’t in the John Deere group though, which is where I first saw them. I think they’re quite cheap so no wonder they sold
