Hi, looking to buy my first and only power harrow ever hopefully. Just to do 100 acre grass to grass reseeds a year. 170hp tractor, no too many stones apart from a few higher fields.

New kuhn 3004 £11500
Amazone ke 3000 super £9500
Can hardy justify the above.

Reconded 25ish year old kuhn 3002 £6500.

Or ive found a 2012 maschio dm3000 which hasnt been in the soil for £6000.

any thoughts, particularly on the maschio that i have no experience of?

Thanks

kuhn. HR303 is what we have and it handles the large flints we have with ease, its built like a tank and i would buy another any day. It has a nice large packer roller on the back which makes the finish it leaves very flat, unlike the lely roterra it replaced.

Maschio are well priced and built strong. Quick change tines are simple to.
 
I’ve got a maschio, an mazone and two cellis. Celli wins any day, really good quality and more rotors over the same width compared to the amazone so it’s does a better job

Nothing wrong with the maschios, we used to run them years ago before the kuhn, if looking at amazone try n get the KG as they are heavier built more on a par with the kuhn, all 3 you can get parts easy enough but amazone parts are rather expensive
How does the maschio DM3000 compare to the KE, KX or KG amazone and the 3004 Kuhn, strength wise?
