@@farmerjacob I ran an electrically controlled Krone twin rotor for years and its frame cracked and its track wore out over the years but it was OK. I’ve also a lot of experience with those MF rakes when they were orange and had Fella branding and know of some that have covered tens of thousands of acres of heavy crops with no more issues than the Krone. Sometimes they all trip the overload clutch when overloaded of course. I’m currently running a Kuhn which is another fine machine. The most impressive one I’ve seen in the last few years is the big Pottinger double rake, which handles heavy crops and makes nicer swathes than most.

Is it not possible for MF to find at least medium/average and ideally heavy crops for their demo videos?
than the machine breaks i speak from experience, it is cheaper than a krone but in all manners worse than a krone
