[QUOTE="DrDunc, post: 8504693, member: 615"] McHale trumps Kuhn when (not if) they block. The flywheel holes and lever bar is one very ingenious design feature McHale didn't "nick" from Kuhn, Lucas, et al, and unless you enjoy trying to reverse the flywheel by ramming a ruddy great big bit of 2 by 4 down the spout, buy the McHale McHale also has a moveable "comb" above the intake beater (just like Lucas🙄) and this really helps reduce problems with mouldy straw or long wet haylage I really would not recommend teagle for anything more than lovely dry barley straw. Fed haylage through one for 3 years and it was done. Non replaceable fingers on the beater were worn away, side chute worn through, knives needed sharpened weekly, third set of chains were stretched, and yes everything was greased and adjusted every fortnight [/QUOTE]
