Vicon Tedder leaving grass in rows

[bobajob]

Maybe sounds a bit daft but is there anyway the tines could be on the wrong way around?

Yes I was going to suggest that. Tines would gather it into rows rather than spread it out if they were.

Not being run in 1000pto instead of 540??

I would suggest the OP videos his next effort and posts it on here.

Ideally showing PTO speed, forward speed, a view of the machine and the results from the cab.
Another video taken from walking or driving alongside of the machine at working speed and stationary.

Alternatively give a location and some kind soul may be nearby to advise in the flesh.

One the basis that the only stupid question is the one you don't ask-is each rotor turning in the correct direction?

Dealer came this morning. Rotors are spinning the wrong way. Apparently they’ve never seen it happen before.

Outer rotors should always rotate inwards otherwise you’d throw lots to the outside. Rotors then contra rotate left and right. Sounds very odd to be the wrong way!

How did that happen?
Main gearbox upside down?

Is it brand new?

It won't have done the tines much good running backwards

Would never have guessed that one, dealer pdi must've been done by the apprentice.

What was the outcome, it looks like it is the wrong size for the swath width to me.....................

Sounds very strange, how did they resolve the problem ?

Dealer says it was PDI by a young guy with a temper-when he wasn’t having a good day everything went wrong. Had the vicon rep up to have a look too and he says he’d never seen it happen before. My machines being picked up tomorrow and a brand new machine delivered to their yard Thursday pdi’d properly then to me. Should have replacement machine by end of the week.

Can’t fault the dealer so far, these things happen,just a good thing we’ve got rain forcast for the next few days.

I did that on a tedder I bought off here , actually not that difficult to do ,

So, the machine was delivered to the Dealer completely stripped down, and was to fully assemble as part of the PDI, and this is the first time it's happened ?

It all sounds very fishy to me..............

Well I assembled truck loads of new Vicon tedders and was going to suggest maybe the wrong arms were on the wrong rotors or the angle had not been set but to have them rotating the wrong way is very unreal!! They come from factory with gearboxes etc on the frame but the tine arms with fitted tines need fitting and wheels and guards etc

 

[Deutzdx3]

Use to be a vicon dealer, never had a brand new machine come in to us in parts. Good they are replacing it with new.
