Best power harrow

So anyone have an opinions on power harrows?

Kverneland, Kuhn, Amazon, Rabe or whatever.

Is there any main differences?

Farm spec or contractor spec now?
Hydraulic adjust packer/roller is a must, easy to use clod board, if quick fit tines make sure they're system can't become worn and fall off easily like a maschio etc. All much of a muchness these days regards reliability so a selection of spurious points from kramp/ pan anglia types. Contractor here has 4 5m maschio's gets on well bar a few niggles.

Maschio seemed to have the name but lads claim that the newer ones aren't as good as old.

Never heard of a hydraulic adjust packer.
Looking for 3m possibly. It'll be heavy farmer to light contractor use. Just waiting on price of a kverneland dealer atm

Most kit is trading on past names due to the cheapening disease these days.

Go with what your happy with/dealer service.
Get the pto with grease nipples on outside of the yoke for ease of access = more likely to be done everyday. Hydraulic ram with a depth scale on it to control working depth rather than playing with pins on the side so faster to set up/ change for variable field conditions ony the roller, clod board works on a vertical turnbuckle system also on maschio. What system they use to hold soil into the machine and not spit too much out the side/leave big ridges down a field. Little details to make life easier/do a better job.
Farm has a 11?ish yr old 6m kuhn but we don't do much anymore just contract for a week or so to break the back of maize planting and a few odds n sods.
