[QUOTE="Martin Holden, post: 7876861, member: 710"] Hook tines - cheap or more expensive. The choice goes on and on. Frankly and without being cheeky a tedder is such a relatively simple machine dealer back up is not as crucial as other machines in the grass harvesting ranges. We now offer straight and hook tine versions as it’s allowing those who want to make the choice between the two to do so. Our rule of thumb is - big diameter rotors is where hook tines work best. Small diameter rotors is where smaller diameter rotors work best and we’ve found that haylage and hay contractors prefer straight tines and small diameter rotors as they tend out multiple times to get to the very high DM’s required. In any group of machines if one is considerably cheaper than the main steam, there is a reason. Today across Europe production costs don’t vary that much anymore so the difference is coming from somewhere. Take a good long look at the various brands in the flesh and talk to existing owners is my advice. [/QUOTE]
