That would be basically a Vicon/Kverneland then. Had my Vicon 6 rotor 15 years it’s ok but not amazing and whilst I haven’t buggered it yet it isn’t the strongest built bit of kit I own. Contractor version might be stronger. It does like to sway from side to side a fair bit sometimes too. I won’t change mine for a while but won’t buy another Vicon or it’s cousins when I do.

If it’s the H/D version it will have IIRC 7 tine arms per rotor rather than 6 and oil immersed crown wheel and pinions rather than grease nipple above crown wheel Haybob style.
