Haybob options to buy?

[hubbahubba]

I am looking for a new haybob as I am fed up with borrowing a neighbours every year. I only do 12 acre or so. Just wondering what are the best new ones and are they all the same working width I think 3 metre?

How much cash is in them?

A tedder would be the game but then can't rake up the rows with it.

I sell new Haybobs. They are built by Mesko-Rol for sale under their own name, for Kuhn, Fleming and my Zagroda - the brand I sell, as well as various others.

They are a genuine Haybob 300 - all parts between the marques are interchangeable and everything is completely standard. You can get tines and springs for a Haybob from every agricultural outlet.

They are £1,650 + VAT in crate kit form, requiring some simple self-assembly or £1,850 + VAT complete. They, of course, come with PTO shafts, too.

A brand spanking new haybob, nothing bent broken missing or seized or tied with string ! maybe a luxury on 12 acres but it would be a pleasure to use and would last a lifetime

I know the mesko-rol are identical to the original haybob.
Even the numbers on the crown wheel castings are the same

Farmers Free Ads on FB had a cracking Vicon GENUINE haybob for around £700 a day or so ago very tidy.
Those mersk rol ones are copies and too thin metal.
The tyre rims buckle when you change the tyres also -been there worn - t shirt out.

Vicon = Kuhn = Mesko-Rol.

Also, you think that Vicon made the wheels?

How much is a Kuhn?

I bought a new Fransgard/ haybob in 2012, two seasons before downsizing because the old PZ was at the end of the road. Can't fault it ( as haybobs go), still on all original tines.

Just saying from past use and most who also have KNOW the difference !

Around £2,400 + VAT.

Give Vicon a ring - ask them if they have a production line making tiny little wheels and cute little tyres to go on them.

I bet they laugh you off the phone

Have a nice Greenland for sale at £900 plus vat,

I do admire your stance on public relations.

They are. They share a lot of lines, round balers included.
