Hi all. Looking to replace my 4 rotor tedder for a 6 rotor, something like a lely lotus 770 (now made my MF new). Have had quotes from a couple of dealers, what does everyone have, do you like it and is there much difference between brands? Theres a second hand lotus in the local case dealer for 5750, or I may have an option of an 8M 8 rotor vicon or pottinger (both second hand) not sure on price yet as am waiting to hear back from the dealer. I will mostly be doing hay with it though may do a small bit of silage (not enough to need to press on at 300mph like the big contractors do though). Are the 8 rotor at the same width as the 6 rotor better and worth the extra cost? I see the 8 rotors usually have 5 tines and the 6 usually have 7. Theres also the option of kubota, as there is a new kubota dealership opened up very close to the farm and I understand kubota are trying to push quite hard into the ag sector (so may get a good deal?)
