    The 398 is my own and going no where I'm afraid but the 390 is for sale. Fresh out of the father in laws garage after a restoration so we decided to work it to find any leaks :D

    The front bale handler does both sides open? or is one fixed.changed this year from the 2 bar type to this type and told I should only have one side opening as it is easier to stack.What way is yours done?there is no place to put a pin to stop one side but mr.welder can sort that.

    i find the one with the fixed side is only good for going up against walls. you need both sides to open to squeeze between bales on a trailer or already stacked but one with a fixed side would stop it rocking from side to side of the bale wasnt tight to the loader

    Any sign of a weather window to get some grass cut and wrapped , would be nice to at least have the grass dry when cutting .
