Yes, "Buddy", we tried a Lely on demo for a week. Couldn't hold a candle to our PZs. Didn't ted or row up as well. No one like using it because the baler men would give the rowers-up a b********g. That's a PZ on the back of that Brown, and quite an early one because it's got the crap tyres on. First thing we had to do was get rid of them and get some proper 8ply ones on. Then they decided to put better wheels/tyres on as standard.

To stop the gates wearing out make sure the top link is set so that the gates only just touch the ground. The book used to say that you needed to alter the top link position between tedding & rowing up but we never bothered with that. If you have the machine at too big a tilt you don't get the ground coverage.

As far as altering the tines is concerned squirt some oil along all the springs at the beginning of the season and periodically thereafter. They will change over much easier. When you change a tine have a look at the part that goes through the plastic bush. If it's badly worn take it out and fill the worn part up with weld and grind it back. When you start going round the machine like this for the second time it's time to swap it for a new one.
