[QUOTE="jamj, post: 7663481, member: 808"] We changed a Kuhn 6501 to Pottinger 702(?) last year. Pleased with Pottinger so far. Two dealers both said they would not sell Pottinger 6xx model as they gave trouble. Why change from Kuhn?- Did not like angle pto shaft was at. Often was a metallic bang when put into gear. Probably overrun clutch but it sounded painful. Bogey wheel adjustment was limited and the lever was down near wheels, so difficult to get at. Manual adjustment of width Greasing 3x pto shafts with wide angle joints was a major pain. Easiest way was to slide end of shaft off but it was nigh impossible to get your hand inside the fixed outer guard. Having said that it never required any parts other than tines, and that I blame on one operator trying to scarify the ground. The Pottinger does not rattle as much when working and seems stronger built. Are the gearboxes, cams etc as good? I don't know. Time will tell. [/QUOTE]
