You can get them on line, but there's not much to them.

U cant get parts

I have one. Great machine for rowing up but crap at spreading. The "manual" is printed on the side of the machine, except yours might have been painted over! If I remember correctly, gates closed in, wheels up, and the cradles parallel to the ground for rowing (adjust top link). Mine is set permanently in that position as I only use it for rowing. But the opposite for spreading (except mine doesn't) for spreading. Oh, I forgot, tines at 90 degrees to the cradle rims for rowing and angled for spreading.

Thank dry rot... I really appreciate your knowledge...

Play with those settings and see what works best for you. Have the tines barely stroking the ground, not digging in. Make one row, turn at the end and make another as near the first as you can to clear up, then a third drawing the two rows into one just before baling. Row up in the evening before the dew rises, then move that row onto dry ground next morning inverting the row so the bottom can dry out. I'll take a pic of those decals if I remember!

The one I had only wanted to row up too, you'd get going up the field and half way along you'd think it's not doing it right, the tines would have decided to alter their position back into the angled back setting. Short term solution was to tie them with twine, longer term it went on ebay.

I tried tedding when my four rotor tedder broke one arm. Then the penny dropped and I tied that arm up with a piece of rope and finished hay making! The 250 was worse than useless for spreading!

The best I can do!

Hello @irish hurlimann I have a copy of this manual for my machine, it is a little worn and not to hand at the moment. When I come across it I will make a copy of it for you or see if someone can do it electronically, hope this helps, Angus. Feel free to message me to remind me.
