Fransgard RV-390

When rowing up hay sometimes the swath divider catches the hay and makes the row lumpy,anyone else have this problem?,have thought about cutting a bit out and making it higher off the ground so not to catch the hay .

For rowing up drop wheels so there lifting the rotors up and lengthen top link.

Edit- bugger got that wrong lower rotors and lengthen toplink to row up. Lift wheels and shorten toplink to spread.

mine doesn't have a divider and I find if it feeds in a bit more on 1 side it just throws it out the other side instead of through the gates.
I found by lifting the machine on its wheels and angling it forewards it didn't clean up to the sides.

Can you just shorten the chain so it doesn't drag , but still stops lumps from being chucked across.

Tried this but it still caught lumps,works ok in light crops but anything half decent it will still catch the hay.Maybe one off a haybob would fix it ?.

We had similar problem with ours spoke to fransgard factory rep at grass and muck 2016 and he denied that it was a problem blamed everything but the rake I just told him to go look at all the second hand 390 s for sale with bent or missing swarth boards n maybe he might see the problem . I cut 2 inches off the leg for last season problem solved

Your lucky it's only the swath board at fault. All the older ones I've ever seen have had the input shaft tube welded up and those that hadn't knocked liked hell when run up.
I've owned 5 of them and all been shyte
