[QUOTE="neilo, post: 6912083, member: 348"] I was looking for a secondhand Lely a couple of years ago, just as they were shutting up shop. Anything tidy was nearly new price, so I decided it was better to spend a bit extra and buy one that hadn't been used for winding up telephone poles by a student. I went to a local dealer that sells Lely and Malones with the intention of having one of the last new 4 rotor Lelys, which he had in stock. A 4 rotor Malone was sitting alongside it in the yard, priced at £500 more, and the difference in build quality was impressive, particularly through the headstock. Needless to say I bought the Malone. Very pleased with it over the last 2 seasons, in hay and haylage, light crops and heavy. It can 'row' a bit in very light crops if you're not trying to bash all the leaves off, but most tedders will IME. Build might be considered a bit over the top for 'just' a tedder, but I don't expect to change it anytime soon. I've no regrets in my choice.
