Love mine, it does what it says on the tin

You have to admire the time and patience it took to make those stone walls too

Reading through,a lot of the replies refer to a standard Haybob,a 360 is a totally different machine albeit with a lot of common parts.Teds the same as a standard one,but for rowing up it is better than a single rotor rake,follows the ground better and leaves a fluffier less lumpy row.Tried ours to move a row of straw,and its not very successful.

Looks like it might need more than the standard 200hp thats deemed to be the minimum requirement in 2017 to drive a Haybob 360 .

270 horse, 4 beacons should about manage, and 1500kg front weights obviously

All good farmers have both

Stupid question, I get a 360 rows to the side, but is it wider when tedding than an ordinary haybob, ie 3.6m wide instead of 3m? @Gator? do they have bigger rotors?

 

[essexpete]

No it only gains the extra bit when rowing to one side because it is throwing on to land/material that has not been moved if that makes sense.

 

[Deutzdx3]

The rotors are larger on a 360 over a 300. Great machines. I have one here that I’m selling as upgraded to a 4.5m single rake. Great machines.

Well, I stared this thread two years ago, and by now I am on my second season of Haybob 360 action, and I love it! Just the tool for what I want!

My only gripe, and perhaps its me being hard of thinking...

When you row the headland, turning left, as you do with every haybob is fine, but when you come to throw another on top of it and you run back in the opposite direction, turing right sounds and feels nasty. What's the cure for this?

Is it wider when tedding or not? correpondents above don't agree?

 

[Selectamatic]

It is no wider than a standard Haybob 300 when tedding, 3m

Raking, it does gather 3.6m, where as a standard Haybob is again 3m

would be a bit wrong to slacken and leave linkage stabilsers sloppy i gues what about a radical mod .....alter the wheels to swivel freely by welding a some sort of sleave /stopper on the wheel leg ... only thing is it wont be adjustable anymore ....

that if the wheels set up is the same as on the ordinary haybob.

 

[essexpete]

Can someone (and I have asked before) suggest why, when rowing up, my old machine sometime throws a small amount of material over the back between the rotors rather than passing on to the second. It is not a lot of material by any means but it looks scruffy. Changing forward speed and rotor speed does seem to make much difference.

Fair enough, but surely it should do this as standard?

Mine does not do this other than when the crop is really light and it will throw a whisp through.

It used to do this, but I found the problem out to be that someone had put standard haybob tines on in stead of it's own tines, 300 v's 360 tines are ever so slightly different in design, but wildly different in price!

 

[essexpete]

Ah well that might be my problem. Do both rotors have 360 specific tines? I have never grasped why you have a wide and narrow either.

I think so, but cant honestly remember.

Yep true..

almost want a break back arm on both sides instead of just one but trouble is if there is too much movement the whole machine will be weaving all over the shop and tracking downhill when used on the side of the hill


the wider tyres ie smoother multirib instead of like the old 'sharp' three rib will help it slip around ?give abit tho

As already said they are abit bigger, Ted's the same as the 300.

It is only the yellow spot tines (offside) that are different,you can easily modify them yourself if you have a pattern one,they have an extra very small bend in them.Blue spot ones are standard items.
