    Looking at changing a mower. I'm undecided between a krone and a kvernland. Any experiences or opinions would be appreciated.

    Trailed krone here since 2003 never had a days trouble with her. Makes great swarths. The new type ones now dry out the grass vert well with new type conditionor and the veins on back to split up swarth to let air through

    the landini was flat out when she was on her. 2300 revs she's only 95 hp
    the massey is very comfortable on her think she only needs run at 1800 or 2000 can't remember

    If you go for Kvernland make sure its with the oval discs and the steel conditioner flails. Operated one with the round discs and nylon flails for a contractor for a few seasons and it was terrible to cut especially on partially lodged crops. Nylon flails wore out pretty quickly and were expensive to replace as far as I remember. The mower could take a lot of hardship though.
    Run a John Deere 1365 myself. Have to say it peels the ground regardless of the way the crop is lying and has given us great service. Probably the only machine with a deere badge that I'd buy again!!!
