McHale mowers

[Humding]

the main design man at McHale was spotted by a customer laying in under the back of the HiSpec mower at the ploughing match in september.

That's standard practice for most companies. You need to know what your competitors are at.

Watched a video on YouTube this evening, that was a new Holland first time I've seen a set of Wafer weight hung off the near side of a mower! Obviously to counterbalance the Weight of the bed

I allways wounder why side mounted mowers don't have a counter weight to help reduce the stress on tractor cross shafts it would be a lot better job

I heard that McHale are gone back to the drawing board, and the main design man at McHale was spotted by a customer laying in under the back of the HiSpec mower at the ploughing match in september.

Maybe he was tired

Looks quite a lot like a krone to me?

No connection at all, despite what McHale have apparently been telling people.

Krone make all their beds in house, exclusively for themselves. http://www.krone-uk.com/english/news/product-news/accept-no-substitutes-mower-bed-production/ - videos at the bottom.

The McHale is apparently a Samasz bed, made in Poland.

Krone make 12000 beds a year for their own mowers and for a company in the USA who make their own mowers.

Haven't seen a 2017 model yet. Have they reduced the gap between the rotor and pickup?

We've got a new model fusion plus and got told that the rotor was a biger diamator to close the gap up. I'm not sure what the previous ones were like as this is our first mchale.

5 changes to the pickup for this year. The rotor is slightly bigger (I think), the cross augers are bigger, heavier, the bit where the strip sits behind the pickup is raised up, as in the grass dosen't drop onto the plastic strip it flows straight onto the rotor, camless pickup is an option (with 6 rows of tines maybe) & I can't remember the other one.
