Enorossi, Pronar or JarMet single rotor rakes?

[PROFarms]

I’m in the market for a single rotor rake to run behind our Massey 135. I’ve seen Enorossi do a 3.5m rake for £2650 and Jarmet 4.2m rake for £3200 or a Pronar 350 rake for £1850, all plus VAT. The Pronar especially seems almost too good to be true. Just wondered if anyone has any experience with any of these rakes that could give their opinion. Been warned against used rakes as too many bad eggs out there so was looking at a couple of these cheaper brands and going brand new.
Thanks!

Before you buy a rake, Have you tried one on a 135? I don’t think it will have a chance of handling one without some serious front weight

Yeah we’ve run a claas single rotor rake on it for 15 years plus

Add a Galfre to your list. I’ve had one since 2012 and it makes a clean job and runs on bogey axles. Admittedly I don’t rake a vast acreage (if I can help it), but I’ve not broken anything on it yet. Cheap, cheerful and lightweight.?

I can’t see why a 135 wouldn’t cope with it just fine, but mine's only ever been on a JD6920, just to be on the safe side. In my defence, it’s the only tractor here, so little choice anyway.

If your Claas had done 15 years then buy another as these cheaper makes probably won’t last you 5 years or maybe 15 months in all honesty

Does any1 run a twin rotor rake from any of these brands? Thoughts? Guide price?

A chap near me runs a twin rotor Pronar, not sure what he paid but he does a couple hundred acres a year and had it about 3 years. Seems fairly happy with it that’s why I was looking at their single rotor rake

I was offered a jarmet for 2600+vat.

You get what you pay for. End of.

Even "cheaper" makes are not cheap any more?

Would you consider a pz360 much faster than a single rotor rake an can turn hay too

 

[Greythundercloudys]

Iv tried 3 times to buy a big 360 missed out everytime.

Our Claas 330s, bought 3rd or 4th hand was £1200 and has been perfectly reliable. It's maybe not the prettiest but over time we'll tidy it up. I'd expect it to outlast anything from the budget manufacturers and parts will always be available. It was on a 135 with its previous owner and the only problem was grass wrapping around the stupidly low pto shaft on the 135.
