3,5m mower conditioner

Hello.
Looking to buy new Pottinger 352 ED mower conditioner. Anybody using it?
We have two pottinger mowers for 15 years.
Maybe somebody has compared Pottinger to a different mower and can share some opinion?


Cheers

@Sid is that the one you bought?
No, we have a 302 straight mower.
We did want to move up to the 352 but there wasn't any left this year.
Friend has got a pottinger with conditioner full spread width, he rates it extremely highly. He did move from pottinger to Kuhn for couple of seasons but came back to pottinger.
He hasn't ever had any issues with his pottinger mowers, neither have we.

Cross flow, we ted straight behind mower , maybe even again to get it to DM asap. Cross flow wouldn't work for us.
We ran a krone tedder, poor welding on rotor gears. Neither manufacturer or dealer wanted to know after 12 months.
So wouldn't look at a krone.
