Used to use Keenan for years went to a 20cu used rmh twin tub done a lot of work never Caused little trouble . went to a siloking 28cu for more capacity and again caused Little trouble. Only bits with them both were conveyors that causes problems. Fantastic machines will save u a massive amount of time and are very reliable. Rs Agri took over rmh I believe. Siloking a awesome bit of kit built very well. Keenans are good but slow

Thanks I will start looking for a tub machine only problem not a big budget !!

We picked rmh up at farm sale for around 5 k. U will save a massive amount of time than Kenan so worth spending abit extra

 

[Will Blackburn]

am I right in saying you get a better mix with your tub feeder ??

So would you be using more fuel / horse power than the Keenan ?

Also wouldn’t a tub feeder wear a lot harder than the Keenan , more expensive to run ??

Get a Keenan tub best of both worlds then?

I have a mech 360 Keenan for one reason one reason alone simplicity , I don’t like the way Keenan conduct their bussiness mind I’m not keen on them at all but I want a simple machine , 11 years on I want at least another 11 year out of it if not twenty I have sucklers no money to be changing feeders like the underpants buy once buy right keep long time .

There's a fair bit more to go wrong on a Keenan than our tub. We were well fed up of mending our Klassik 140, even the "improved" parts.

No gear box , it’s done 11 winters so far so good ,

Give me an oil immersed gearbox over 3 chains any day. Of you're only using it through the winter then I suppose it's got an easy life.

Everyone says about to gear box but we have never touched them ever

 

[HarryB97]

What model of Shelbourne Reynolds have you got ??

We looked at mixer wagons but went down a different route instead, If you compare the build quality and finish to other wagons the Shelbourne will win every time!

Aye it has because I also look after it very well

Give me a snapped chain over a buggerd gear box any day . And the new Keenan s have oil immersed chains .

our old shelbourne reynolds was a right pain near the end of its life everything was slightly worn and flexed abit so it would throw a chain off for no reason When it got abit to much pressure new chains and lots of welding didn’t help Much

the new strautmann with a gearbox is in a different league when it comes to build quality Can chop bales in 1000 shaft and low revs

just chop it in and let some other bugger worry about it with worn out tubs then

Shelbourne Reynolds haven't used the chain system for many years.
