Whats peoples thoughts on these machines. Only be doing 30-40 acres a season mainly Hay some Haylage. Currently using a Haybob.

We had 1, did the job way better than a haybob! Not the heaviest built of tedders but it did a lot for us over the years. It eventually fell to bits and we replaced it with a krone.
Check the crown and pinion on top of each rotor. The bearing went on 1 of ours and it jumped the teeth and damaged it.

Does it throw it out fairly even in heavy crops? Get a lot of lumps with the Haybob which is the biggest problem with the haybob.

Yeah it worked fine if you took your time. There are better tenders but if its cheap enough it will be fine
