    Hello all,
    We were looking at changing our John Deere 1350 for next year. It has given great service and only after 12 years has it started giving any real trouble. The garage down the road has started dealing Krone and we were going to buy a new trailed conditioner off him. They've a name for poor quality, but with the dealer so close it seems like the best bet? What do ye think?

    I don't think they are up to much tbh. Have a good look at a BIG M that has 3 seasons done!!:D Who makes the bed in them?

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    my son is using one for the last couple of years in front of the fusion . it has serious acres clocked

    only problem was last year when the rotor housing gave trouble, they had to get a small part from germany and while the mower was down (48 hours for the part via dhl) he got mods done to ensure the problem didnt re occur

    he is thinking of changing in the next year or two and making enquiries re the malone

    Kuhn all the way, all john deere mowers have kuhn beds, any dealer will take a kuhn in a trade if changing in years to come

    Krone are utter sh1te.

    I say this as the owner of a AM243cv. There is no part of it not capable of falling off or breaking. Actually, it is even broken as we speak.
