Yes we have been talking.
Basically the pickup chain broke and wrapped around the reduction gearbox that drives it. Ripped it out the side of the wagon.
don’t think mines only one. Seen several pictures of repaired ones.Engineer has had it for 8 months saying he could repair it but progress is virtually non existent.
Seems a shame to scrap it as was sound machine but looks like it’s days are over.

Pretty pleased. Do your research as lots of updates done. Drawbar, stub axles and gone from galfre to Kuhn mower.
Only one mines not got is mower and I will do at some point although it’s been ok so far.

No. They are overpriced new! Lots 2/3 years old for less than half new price. This one had done 2 short summers on Velcourt farm in Dorset

I agree but If the parts aren't available and it's written off then that's a big claim.
How do you find it compares to using a wagon? Is grass quality in terms of presentation and keep ability any different?
Cheers

With just a disk mower and not cutting with blades up in the wagon there's no difference in keeping or presentation of the grass.

Seems to be serious money in new zero grazers, currently using a Ed Walley machine which is pretty bomb proof but getting a bit tired, been musing over a second hand grass tech machine or ordering a new Walley machine which Harbrook engineering are manufacturing again in small batches
