Which rake?

Looking at a couple of twin rotor rakes a dealer has in, both old stock but brand new.

Either an MF (Fella) RK 762 or a Kverneland 9472c

I’ve used Fella’s in the past and like their simplicity and build quality, but is slightly more than the Kv which I have had no experience with their rakes
Any opinions please?

I've a kv and I'm sure it's that model.

Good rake I preferred the claas we had before but they don't do hydraulic width adjustment in that size .

Main gripe is it's high geared so you have to run your PTO pretty slow and we struggle to get a really good row for the baler it's fine but I just can't quite get it wide enough and completely joined in the middle but with no cam track adjustment you just have to play with forward speed and pto speed to change the shape .

We've only had 1 issue with it the width rams creep we got a new set under warranty and it sorted it for a year and then started creeping again so we just keep an eye on it now
