Mchale vs Lely Welger Tines

[Shane s]

Can anybody tell me if Welger tines are Mchale tines are the same, as in they will fit the same tine holder.

I find the Welger tines very bad and they break very easily and that mchale are a bit better.

I think there has been a thread on this previously. I too find I'm forever replacing Welger tines.

However there is a school of thought that heavier duty tines put more strain on the pick up.

Having had to change the pick up cam rollers and track and the hassle that involves I'm currently staying with the weaker Welger tines.

i am planning on doing the reel of my baler up this year anyways so i will change anything that needs replacing when im at it. I am also going to change all the bolts in the bands to stainless steel bolts as all my original bolts keeps rusting then ringing/ snapping of when trying to change a tine.

Mchale have a new heavier duty tine now slightly heavier gauge. I just cut the nuts off old bolts and replace not worth the heartache trying to slacken.

The heavy claas tines fit the fusion tine bars and dont seem to bend or break yet,

It's the quality of the tines that makes the differance rather than the strength or thickness , heavier stronger tines are not the answer , the answer is the same strength tine made from better quality steel that won't snap as quick , the class tine fits the Mchale and lasts longer.
