Used to have a kv 4332 before I went front and rear. Great mower nice clean cut and followed the ground very very well but than a jd 1365 will.

Cant beat a Kverneland (vicon is the same thing). Have a 4332LT with BX belts. Floats well and leaves nothing behind, very reliable too. But like tractors, you might be better to go with whatever good local dealer you have

Thankfully they've finally stopped making them

Check out Malone trailed mowers they are decent bit of kit and trouble free

I've heard of people tipping trailed mowers right over unexpectedly, I presume a bit too much speed and gist was involved.

Our old KV 4028 would nose dive the right hand side of the cutterbar into the ground when turning left facing downhill, had to lower it down to sort it out. Youd have to be a right arsehole to chuck one completely over

They were hellish things for that you had to turn right handed or it just lifted the drive end wheel and dug the far away end of the cutter bar into the ground . There were counter balance weights available. Centre pull claas would be the go to for me .

There are plenty of mowers that are less stable than those KV mowers though. The 4032 is the best trailed mower I've used.

Yeah, great range of mowers, though I think the 42 and 43 series with fixed frame and lifting through the suspension is a huge improvement in stability

I didn't like the 4332. Stability was never an issue and it sat where you wanted it to but it wasn't as reliable as the 4032, unless we just got a bad one.

 

[George Mitchell]

Don't see any difference in reliability between the two, 12 years on our 4332 and everything original apart from oil and blades. Bad ones in every colour I suppose

What are parts prices for claas like ?
