New toy day

[Lofty1984]

Forgot to take before I started loading. Replacing a West which rusted out. First impression is the rotor does not spin so fast.View attachment 1066803

Does it need to be run in 1000 rpm

I've found similar, I don't know if it was just wear or me not having the finesse to operate the thing. Always had a line of muck traipsed behind me from them.

The way the door operates on the Shelborne makes a lot more sense in my view.

The Shelbourne design which uses all of the rotor all of the time makes a whole lot more sense than the west which uses the first 6 inches predominantly ends up in uneven rotor wear and crap spread pattern.

The west was designed to spread slurry with the 1st few inches of the rotor, hence the guide welded on the bottom plate.
They need to be setup well tho, beater and plate need to be close on sloppy stuff.
Opening the door to far and you can hear the bottom plate start to bounce with the volume of stuff, that doesn't help the tyre line of either

Yes, but what about the reliability of it?

Compared to what? A Jag or Porsche?

You wouldn’t say that if you met me

We all know JLR don't perform well in reliability surveys.
Porsche, however, on a different level

Love mine, but it’s less fancy in the lock plates.

Did buy a new scope today for my .243 though

What did you go for for the scope. Using a Schmidt & Bender here, good bit of glass

I have a S&B on the 243 normally but it’s no good for NV add on.

Love my S&B. It’s the classic 8X56 30mm tube fixed mag. It sucks in light and works very well stalking or normal lamping.

Have a Pard digital add on that I want to put on the 243 for a while so needed a scope with parallex and not too many coatings on the glass.

Not really. 25th out of 30 in Which? Reliability survey 2021

Varies with different surveys so I guess you take your pick

Picked up a pair of these for a contract we have, not new or shiny but cleaned up should do the job
