Are they not a rebranded Lely, which always had a good following?

The Lotus’ are Lely and are good.
The Twisters are Fella and I’d avoid.

I’ve got one, tines are the same as lely nice machine just the lely painted a different colour with some bracing on the frame. Got mine on a good offer as dealers have to take them with their stocking schemes so they generally want rid, the smaller ones are fella 512 etc but god knows how many of them are floating around still running. Assume you mean the hook tine machine?

I think they used to be fella stuff but latest Massey tedder I saw had the hooked tines so thinking moved away from the fella base. Obv same as fendt just diff colours basically

As said Lotus are 6, 8 and 10 rotor rakes build by lely. Twister range is build by Fella. Agco basicaly bought Lely just because of the balers and forage wagons, but the Lely tedders were so good they didnt ditch them.

They did ditch them. But they changed their minds after a few years,I guess mchale doing a hooktine might have something to do with it.
