Hi All, I done a deal on a Vicon fixbale 500 about 5 months ago but the dealer is just messing me around so now I’m looking at a Mchale as it should hold its value better, what’s pros and cons of each pickup?
 
i have ran machale f5500s since 2016 their a savagemachaine they always require raked swarthes we rake everthing ahead of them we have a pottinger 702c rake machale 2 of them a 2023 and 2020 the both are camless the driver of the other wan was nervious of coming off the cammed but if u where to ask him now he wont go back to the cammed pickup also go wider wheels on her i hope i was some help to btw what brand of wrapper do u run we run a machale 991 be

Ok thanks, we have a Vicon wrapper, all our hay kit is Vicon and does us well but the balers seem to loose a lot of money compared to a Mchale!
 
are u serious thiers that much of a price differnce its a no brainer in my opion so i used to run lely balers i had a 2013 245 last i had a 235 running with a 578 and a few 220s and 200s with a jd 575 baler a deuz baler and a class rollent 250 i always have ran 2 balers beside each other i am now thinking of a combi so i might pop by the fendt greenline dealer just 10 min down the road he also do machale im now open to compotion
 
o that is intresting from what i herd the fendt comes with an auto greaser as standerd the machale f5500 didnt come with it idk do fendt do camlless or thousand speed shafts which i need put i like the extra cut system
