I nearly bought a 4 rotor tedder last year. I got all the prices specs and everything for several makes. But at the end of the day I just knew I would be driving down the field thinking 'should have bought a 6 rotor, should have bought a 6 rotor, should have bought a 6 rotor'

So I got a Lely 770 ...............Brilliant piece of kit

I did buy a 4 rotor last year off eBay. Was so impressed with massive increase in work rate compared to haybob
Taken on more hay making this year and couldn't resist buying a 3 year old Lely 770 stabilo 6 rotor from a local dealer. Very impressed with its tine arrangement.

Kuhn have an extra 10% discount at the moment. I can have a 6 rotor GF582 for £5,400. A GF642 is £6,200 iirc.

Seems a very good deal for a brand new machine, considering I could probably get at least £1500 for my old Lely lotus 300....

You want to speak to Malcolm at Chippenham farm sales that's where we had our lely 770 from a couple years ago think we paid £6600 for it was a very good deal wouldn't consider anything else

 

[Ali_Maxxum]

Oh yeah dealt with Malcolm before, had a trailer off him, good chap!

Is the 14 spinner hydraulic or shaft driven?
Just thinking its a fair bit of shafts and crown wheels that machine to power in a decent first spread crop that

Shaft, got a few issues at the moment, trouble with SH gear, takes a while to find out why it ended up in cambridge

Never been Cambridge sale but I've heard some horror stories about some of the tackle .

We started with haybob, upgraded to 4 wheeler , then a six wheeler which was a huge jump foreward
in productivity, back in the winter a 14 wheeler arrived, tried it out tonight, now thats what you call a hay turner!!

Think it might be, some clues in the pic, just don't realise the signicance of them until you get to it
did over 50 acres in just over 2 hours just going steady, does a good job too.
crops pretty heavy this year for us.
Reminds me of a neighbour saying "I cant really afford a good harvest"

How do you take it down the road / in gateways?

 

[8100]

Would like see the horsey folks with that tedder on the back of a fergi 20 or a dexter

On the road at 40k its pretty stable, although its not following totally true, gateways are about the same as a big trailer. no real issues in that respect, although 1 woman sat under a drier was not happy at having to move her car and some drivers were not happy at being told to wait whilst the tractor came through the narrow bits
