Lot's of them around, made in Italy by Gallignani and badged as Vicon, MF, Kubota, Fendt etc. We have a similar model but designed primarily for hay. Haven't had any problems after the fist year which was more due to the commissioning mechanic not really knowing what he was doing.

Ok cheers do u think it would be cope with heavy first cut grass

I suppose like anything depends how you drive it and maintain it. Wouldn't say they were in the same league as McHale or Welger but then they aren't the same price. Like anything S/h check it out for welds, chain and sprocket wear, damage on the rollers, other signs of abuse etc.
