Fransgard ti5/6000

[Steve91]

has anyone bought or used a fransgard ti 5000/6000 as look to be a good all rounder and we’re thinking of maybe getting one but was just interested in peoples opinions as the old phrase jack of all trades master of none springs to mind.

Ok for raking but useless at tedding,pointless machine really.

We are currently looking at a Kuhn tedder/rake

Oh is it just not picking all the grass up?

We had one years ago, glad to see the back of it.

What did you find wrong with the rake

 

[Cardi]

It was completely useless at tedding. Did an OK job at rowing up but was a faff to get it from the transport to work position and back again. The small blocks holding the tine arms in position were also prone to breaking, so much that we always had 4-5 spare tine arms at the ready to keep us going.

Thanks for your reply tought it would be useless at tedding however with it being able to do so many things if it broke would be nightmare to fix
