Fransgard TI 6000

[Hayfix]

I’m looking at buying a Fransgard TI 6000…….I think Weaving machinery do one very similar.
I d like to use it for rowing up hay. I’ve currently got a Kuhn 3.2m single rotor rake and to make a 6m row I’ve got to make 2 passes.
The Fransgard I believe can row up 6m in one pass which would save me a lot of time!
Has anyone used one of these? Are they any good?
Thanks in advance

I had one. Did some raking for @Grassman few years ago.
it rakes 6m but leaves a very wide windrow. Have to close it up a lot to get a nice row

 

[Grassman]

Not bad machine from what I remember.
But as dave w says have it on full width and you will have a wide row

 

[Hayfix]

Too wide for a conventional Baler do you think?

there are some vids on you tube, it don't look the best of jobs, I would want to try one or at least see one working before buying

I had a fransgard years ago and this pottinger would be a better machine.

@Pistonbroke thanks for the link.
This looks like exactly what I’m looking for.
I called them up but unfortunately it had been sold…… I’ll keep looking
