Malone is what you're meaning

I usually make haylage and the leaving it in rows does not matter to much,However i made an extra 40 acres of hay last year and it would not spread it out fully so i adjusted two rotors first and gave it a try ,the difference was unbelievable considering the end of the tine had only moved a few mm,Its not a big job with a nut gun and will transform the machine, sorry i dont know which way they were adjusted,maybe 2 oneway and 2 the other to decide whats best then do them all to suitI have to admit, its probably 15 years since I read the instruction book, the tine holder centre bush has 3 angle settings, thought it was to adjust well used tines . Did you advance ,or retard the tip of the tine to improve the tedding? Thanks Forever Fent, we learn alot on this forum.
The only problem is where do you buy a new lely from now since agco took them over, agco seem to be pushing the fella brand Tedders and rakes and there's no sign of the lely type, think they only bought them for the foragers and balers.
Absolutely the operator matching forward speed to PTO speed can make a huge difference no way need anywhere near 540 needed first turn first turn the most important in my mind machine needs time to work can still do 12 acre an hour with my 770 without going too fast
Just bought a 7.82 krone and we mow with a 2.8m mower with no conditioner but swath wheels on it.....is it possible it might over lap onto a 4th swath has people seem happy on here for 3 x10ft rows?
the older pottinger tedders are crap haven't seen the newer ones? just my opinion.Lely here but with agco dropping them for the fella it'll be a pottinger next. Really like the hedge side system on them. Look well built and their curved arm is meant to give the same effect as the hook tine but with less contact with the ground.
Surely someone will buy the Lely design? Maybe Tulip who bought the centreliner and roterra designs.....
Pure speculation! Outside of UK/Eire and Holland of course, “the” Lely Tedder isn’t the holy grail many think it is here. I’m not knocking it; far from it, but to put things in a wider perspective it’s viewed differently elsewhere. I expect they will get hooked times on a Fella derivative; whether that works, time will tell!AGCO have brought the design. Lely tedders have a much better name than Fella so I suspect the Fella design will be replaced by the Lely design, it will just be made in Nuremberg and painted MF or Fendt colours.
