I'd hardly buy one.when I think mower i only think John Deere Kuhn claas and krone sorry
When mchales brought out a baler , the market was sowed up by class , JD and krone , that didn't take long to change , mchales wiped them out here . Mchales are going after the tripple mower market and Malone is going after he trailed and smaller mower market and both are selling very well here now.

Maybe not your choice but I had a good look at the SIP tripples at lamma. I thought they were very well finished and looked strong and simple and have a 2 year warranty and new pull type front mower. Unlike the Kuhn that looks extremely over complicated in the headstock and frames to the side mowers

Those Malones look like a decent piece of kit. They do the wheels the right way, far enough from the sides to go near ditches. :) Shame that no-one sells them here.

Most do the wheels on the inside but when there is a grouper fitted thats when the wheel needs to be put on the ditch side. Those new trailed malone are very impressive looking mower, would go for one but they dont do a grouper to fit i dont think

I think that Pöttinger puts the wheel to the ditch side even if it doesn't have a grouper. Only gripe on our mower that i have, but then again it has a grouper. :oops:

Malone don’t do a grouper yet anyway. Had the new 3 meter on demo it’s a serious bit of kit I run two of the 9’6” trailed mowers and the new design is only approximately 2” wider will definitely be going for one of them next time round!!

Iv asked them a few times about a grouper and the way there talking i dont think it will ever happen.

They are Kuhn mowers painted green. Try your kuhn dealer as often they are cheaper in orange.
