straw bedder, teagle or McHale ??

[danpwll]

looking at changing bedder, have a teagle 8080 since 2010, been a good machine, never touched it, what are the opinions on the new teagle , or is the McHale the better machine, does mainly straw, few silage bales , needs to throw a good 40 ft and tidy as I fill hay racks with straw for the calves .

Teagle all the way.

Always run kvernaland, about 1500 square straw bales a year. Looked at McHale other day tho and looks good. Can turn flywheel on independent to Rota so if bale is touching at start up it won't block and the ram and plate to push the bale off the Rota looks good

I think you have answered your own question ............... and it's made in Britain !!

I can't understand why you would change brand after a machine has proven itself by giving you years of reliable service.

A neighbour has run two consecutive Lexions, decided this year to jump to a JD - now thinks he made a mistake. Another replaced his Kuhn PH/drill combo (which had outlasted 3 tractors) with an Amazon and is put out when it lunches a gearbox after 2 years.

Flashy tech means nothing if the build quality isn't there.

Bought a 8100 last year and put 1200 bales of silage / hay and 700 bales of straw through it.

Good bits of kit and well made.

Mike Pryce has a few new Mchale bedders in the yard.

I had a teagle 8100 and a mchale out on demo. Bought the teagle, Better deal and it can blow slightly further, also liked that it was chain drive not belt, takes a lot to block it. Compared to the KV it replaced!! Had it 3-4 years now and it’s been trouble free

Has anyone tried the teagle telehawk?..... like the concept but find it hard to believe it can compete with a pto drive machine

McHale used to be a poor copy of a LucasG. Might have changed

The weak pound is trying to help you make the right decision.
