Lemken, extremely smooth running machine, and extremely reliabl.
They might be missing a few tines .You will have the choice of a few cheap Pottinger power harrows from our Irish pals according to the other thread.
Agree tried a kuhn after having a maschio for years only had the kuhn for 1 season just wouldn't break the heavy land like a maschio got a dm maschio nowCount the rotors, if you have tough clay the more rotors the better, Kuhn are good and strong but dont smash clods like a maschio.
That's the only problem I have with pottinger thoughThey might be missing a few tines .
Yep I'm on a maschio dominator it's getting a bit worn now but it makes a better job than a Kuhn. It's just you barely see new ones.Agree tried a kuhn after having a maschio for years only had the kuhn for 1 season just wouldn't break the heavy land like a maschio got a dm maschio now
Yes to compare like with like it should be a Kuhn HR3004D which have a 250hp rated gearbox.Surely you have only quoted the effeminate version of Kuhn there, you want a 1000 series?
Thanks. I told the dealership what tractors are available and they quoted on the mentioned Kuhn model. I think its the only one that they could get the price to match that of the lemken.Yes to compare like with like it should be a Kuhn HR3004D which have a 250hp rated gearbox.
A Lemken Zirkon 8 would be equivalent to a Kuhn 300D series.
That is why I questioned the model because researching Kuhn power harrows I saw that wont work. Dealership said it should be fine if we dont increase speed because the bigger tractor isnt going to feel the lighter harrow. I didnt like that answer. The kverneland is about 6500 more expensive but it is a 3.5m. The gap is to big which makes the Lemken the better deal.Surely you have only quoted the effeminate version of Kuhn there, you want a 1000 series?
Lely wont stand too much horses though ,I don’t like clod boards that aren’t close to the tines?
Our old Lely had a clod board close to the tines and it left a nice level finish as the tines spread any high bits all the board. The Mascio we have now has a clod board attached to the roller. It’s too far off the tines and pretty useless at levelling compared to the Lely.
I havent found a better powerharrow than Lely. It worked.
