Fergy has a better gearbox and it feels a bit more pokey but valtra has got a better turning circle better hydraulics and a better cab. I’d like to think you’d get over 30 bales a hour but for the price you’d want it to be faster. Thanks for the support

@samsymes1237 ай бұрын
Historically we’ve ran them to high hours had 2 over 25,000 hours. they will all do over 10,000 hours before we part with them. The air valve was £100 the spool was around £400 and the hitch was a faulty position sensor. Usually the threshold for selling would be 12,000-13,000 hours depending on how well their doing
