Replacing 7.5 meter rake which make

Kverneland 9580 or 9590! Great rake!!
Took delivery of a new Kuhn 7.5 metre rake earlier this year. Its very well finished and built like all there kit and picks up every blade of grass no matter how light the crop and leaves a nice square row. A massive improvement from a single rotor. If I narrow the mower spread right up for lighter cuts I can rake 9 metres of cut grass into a row with a 7.5 metre rake.

Pottinger every time. Their 762c is by far the best rake I've used and followed.
Can't comment on McHale but of the rest I'd say Kuhn, Class then Krone.

The krone and claas seem to have the tines angled at the bottom to lift the crop up the tines a bit whereas the pottinger and kuhn have traditional straight tines. Any opinion on this from anybody that's used both types. Also anyone using the pottinger with the skids rather than wheels under the rotors, seems a great idea to keep the rake riding up on any ruts or heights rather than the wheels allowing the rake down into the tracks and scraping soil and stones

I’ve moved away from a Kuhn 7501 , it just kept breaking the cam track and the bearing ends of the arms , a weak design inside . I’ve a pottinger now and it is a far better rake all around , the wheel out in front is great on uneven ground , less soil in the sward.
I demo'd a pottinger, kuhn, claas and a krone this season to try and find the best replacement for my lely. In the end I ordered the Pottinger. It was marginally better than the claas but way ahead of the rest of them with what I found when using them.

I’d be looking at the SIP 720 Or 850 star rake, adjustable cam track tandem walking axles to follow the ground very well, and a three year warranty that no one else is offering at competitive prices.
What’s the main differences between a kv 9476 and a 9580? Apart from a slightly wider working wIdth?
On the pottinger have you ever had trouble with the grass wrapping round the wheel what runs in front of the Rotor?
Hi, so the 94 76 was a compact line, the 95 is a Pro line, so wide tyres std with a beefed up back axle,
Pro gear boxes so you can alter the pick up point of the swath, so you can keep the tines in work longer to really square the swath edge up, independent rotor lift, and one extra tine arm I think on those models !

No , it never happened yet after 5000 acres, the only thing is to spread the grass with the mower , a tight narrow row might be a differant story.
