Is there any hope someone would start a support group for people with this addiction.these people don't realise what damage they are doing to themselves and those around them,its these people really suffer(mainly baler harvester and wagon drivers)
Hi. My name is sacrolyte and I have a haybob addiction. (that felt good)
Luckily never bought one, slippery slope..
I've 2 haybobs that are older than me, both missing swarth dividers to make proper knots of the grass, luckily my baler man doesn't complain 😜
Im Beyond help
First step they say is to recognise you have a problem
As they say the clue s in the name its a haybob,not a silagebob
Handy small sized tedder there. There's Not always a need for a big wide one.
Won't disagree, a nice tedder is always on the wish list but there always seems to be something else with a higher priority.
What price are they now
20k
Thats an 8 rotor
I confess to having bought a new (new in 1993) tedder…….,and
and
to have kept the haybob just in case.
😂😂😂
My dad bought a Zaga haybob 15 or so years ago it was used for 3 years and i retired it... anyone of you suffers want it for therapy
No really tidy machine ….an 8 rotor very tidy when all folded up
Yes where my father and his family were reared …..14 people in a 3 bed house …1 kitchen 1 good 😀room and a toilet added in the 50s …..walls would take a bomb to knock them but roof needs work
My name is Aravo, I love hooking up the haybob here, it's usually a sign of some good old sunshine. It must be 35-40 years young. Still have the user manual for it. Not 1 winter has it seen outdoors. We used to be all posh dropping/increasing the wheel height depending on what we were at. Still used a bit. Less this year as we had no hay. Lost no left wide, left narrow, right wide, right narrow tines this year.
I have a small lely lotus so naturally I want a bigger one
Dad sold the haybob and square baler years ago
Tbh I'm relieved, it would just slowly get consumed by the ditch I'd have left it in meaning to get back to it.
60 acres max per year here between hay and silage. Would a Lely 300 be sufficient? The 600 is a good bit dearer and a bit concerned about breakages in the linkages and stock.
I'd be reluctant to buy a 2 rotor machine, output of max 5 acres per hour. If buying a lely get one with the Stabilo headstock.
I've a haybob, lely 300 and a 4 rotor tedder here.....I'm gone beyond saving.
The 300 is grand for silage but it do your head in for hay..I'd go for the four rotor.
Is it the same headstock on both?
I don't think the 2 rotor Lely's had the Stabilo headstock. Maybe someone that has one could clarify this.
lads have the option of a 6 rotor Tedder 770 wide with the lely hook tines for not much more than a 4 rotor. But I’m not sure if it would be too big. What do lads think people that have them and so on? Biggest advantage of the 6rotor is not driving on the swards
Can never be too wide
Agreed
how do them manage in smaller fields? Or is it no issue. Bear in mind I’m coming from a lely 300 so abit bigger. Also what difference do the hook tines make or is there more made out of that ?
Smaller fields are no issue once you keep your eyes open. As for the hooked tines, mine is an older claas with standard tines and I’ve never had a problem once the machine was properly set up and conditions were good. I’m not saying the hooked tines are a gimmick as I’ve never used them so can’t comment.
Reggie will answer the tines, but hooked supposed to fluff and flick it about more.
As said above, no issue if your watching what your doing.
and I don’t think they seem much wider on the road for transport than the 4rotors. There both wide in-fairness for transport
