[QUOTE="DrDunc, post: 9103873, member: 615"] Err no Mchale copied Kuhn belt driven beater that doesn't need started until the flywheel is up to speed Mchale has a comb above the beater that is moved from the cab control box. Blockages from wet silage or mouldy straw are vastly reduced by simply moving the comb rearward Mchale has a knife at the bottom of the outlet chute, running close to the flywheel paddles (copied from Lucas) Long dry stemmy grass gets chopped rather than building up and blocking the chute Mchale has their own very simple and effective flywheel unblocking device. A lever bar stored on the machine is inserted into holes, quickly reversing the wheel to unplug the paddle blockage. Every other machine is a slow utter ball ache in comparison Presumably it was the Kuhn salesman who said they were basically the same machine 🙄 [/QUOTE]
