Yes it was made krone late 80's , works a bit like a forage wagon with a blower behind the cutting knives to blow the grass in to the trailer

Did you ever get flails there’s a fella on a Facebook page pulling one of those Howard machines out the nettles today with a digger

Providing the flails fit they should be fine whatever flai you get.
there were 2 basic designs a flat flail and an S shape flail.
the S shape are not so good for a single chop machine, as they will struggle to throw the crop.
Always replace all the flails at one time as you will get terrible vibration from an unbalanced rotor.
The one thing though to be concerned about, was why it got pushed into the nettles as many were afterthe rotor were damaged and started vibrating badly
