1050 should be easy found, JF centre tullamore have a few

McCullagh farm machinery had one recently modded with a 1260 reel roller, looked smart

Personally I think the 1050 is a step down from your 1100. Drum size is the main thing.

Il give you an example, my father is very reserved, he's a calm and calculated man. But the 2 x 1100's we have now. 1 main machine and 1 reserve machine, tweaked and running as the main machine is with our MF 7495 up front. This year he had a look at the neighbours 50ft rows that a contractor would be lifting and said he wouldn't be fast at it but would be confident to face them with his set up.

I can't disagree with you but there are very little 1100s to choice from,nothing fresh. I only bought the 1050 because It was cheap,similar type harvester from a dealer is 12k plus.problem with very big sward is with harvester travelling slow it tends to pull in the grass a couple of feet in front of the reel,bigger chance of blockages

Rake up to suit the crop and never go past that "sweet spot" is what I'd say to that

Plenty on here would mow and lift at 40k if they could
