I have tines here if anyone needs some
That ring hitch on the blue one is worth more than the rest of them both put togetherTyres are 5.00 15, i've got 2 needing restoration, an early blue one and a yellow one. Plus another blue one for spares.

I have to disagree, they did a wonderful job if setting hay up to dry and a perfect swath for baling, just let down by its low work rateThat ring hitch on the blue one is worth more than the rest of them both put together
Hateful machine spent more time unbunging the thing than wuffling.
I think the two row wuffler was a rebadged other machineAgree with single row slow output….
Pretty sure I can remember a near neighbour having a two row Wuffler.
Wasn‘t a Cock Pheasant etc….certain it was a Wuffler.

Sold by bamfords as a W50 2 row wufflerI think the two row wuffler was a rebadged other machine
Got this if its any help to youPicked a Wuffler up today for a bit of light work next year - can anyone advise what tyre size would it have been on when new?
Will tidy it up and paint it - are there any Paint Codes for the Yellow and Blue?
Guards are all present - need tidying up a bit and some light metal bashing - any advice on what is the best welder for 2 mm thick ?
There is Bamford loose handle with a curve in it in yellow and a roller at one end - is that something to do with changing tines?
Don't suppose the correct PTO guards in blue are available.
Thanks all
The fundimental problem was that all the crop had to pass through that relativly small restrictive hood of the machine, ok in a light swath and a not too wide a one either .So, if its easy to block it - why does that happen - too slow PTO speed ? going to fast forward ? wet crop? crop too heavy? belt slipping?
On top of which, because it was really a slow job most people went at too fast forward speed, and as years moved on grass crops got heavier.The fundimental problem was that all the crop had to pass through that relativly small restrictive hood of the machine, ok in a light swath and a not too wide a one either .
i particularly 'liked' the way when we used it to help dry out rained on straw that after a pass most of the wet (heavier ) stuff ended up right down in under in the bottom of the swathOn top of which, because it was really a slow job most people went at too fast forward speed, and as years moved on grass crops got heavier.
Used to pull one with a DB 950, low third or high first were the only two gears you could use and boy could a 950 gearbox whine in those gears.
