Have you looked at the Conor (plantmec) 7000 would blow the NC around the place!! But I’m only comparing it to an NC 3800 never tried a redrock they wouldn’t be popular around here NC and Cross were mostly used by contractors in this area nearly all changed to Conor over last 5 years

I bought a new NC 3000 , same as in the photo above , 4 years ago for my own use.
Well built , never gave any bother , but truthfully , i was a bit disappointed with it's performance. It cost €3500. The NC 3800 was €4500 at that time. Supposed to be much better machine , but I was worried about the bigger ones access to 1 particular tank.
I know nothing about a Redrock.
1 great thing about mine is , you can leave the PTO shaft when taking it out of a tank..

I had a redrock superflow then nc as above. Nc slightly lower geared so needs we bit more revs. The nc will lift more silage but then it sticks in the pipe when filling store. Two pumps are the same really.
