Nice machine!! We run an old Lely Lotus 300 Tedder/rake, mainly for raking... Most combination machines don't tedd well.. we have an old 4 basket Kuhn Tedder, works great and catches two rows at once!! Position on the window makes a big difference in how they scatter. With that two big basket, you should be able to get two windrows at once, might scatter more evenly... Lots of neat equipment out there! Mostly overseas though😪
Now you have had it for 4 plus years and the newness has worn off, how is it holding up. Has maintanence and repair been expensive and do you still endorse it as a hood machine? Thanks for the video and sharing an interesting machine
Love it, the one tire had air leak we fixed, otherwise been great, we tedder at 400rpm and rake about 350rpm out the rear and works great. We have two of them and both held up well for us
Hi, Thanks for posting. How is the 420 working out for you? Any downside or drawbacks? I am seriously considering buying one. I do about 60 acres of hay 3 cuttings per year. Thanks!!
Hello, the 6 to $8000 for shipping, does that include the cost of the machine. Or is it the cost of the machine +6 to $8000 for shipping . Approximately what was the cost to get it on the farm. Now it’s a few years later are you still using it. Would you recommend it. Thank you.
Had one of those combo as a new Holland in the 1990s in united states. PIECE OF SHIT!!!!! u take 2 great implements and combine them into one piece of shit! Way to many moving parts. Wears out way to quick and extremely expensive to fix! 8k is insane rip off!
If we want to talk about the device's operating and driving mechanism. ... you have no knowledge of mechanics! ... your cardan shaft or PTO transmission is constantly working at an angle! .... sincerely. .. do you find that logical? ... why not make a gearbox in the center or in the axis of the PTO? ... give us your reason! ... or else you have placed shares with the transmission manufacturer. ... your construction is nonsense! ...And that's a shame.
That's a cool machine ...I'd like to see it in "heavy hay" ....cool machine for sure!

I have aNew Holland 255 rake/Tedder combo with 3 point hitch. Same thing. I paid $500 for a used one. Works like a champ and parts are not a problem.
US. Dealers? Where? If can't get parts , one breakdown , useless, throwaway, done for season ? Was impressed with it😀
Good vid. Really open a guys eyes to a different breed

Good to know, I’ll have to do some more research on it
Thats smart! Seems perfect for small farms.

Yes machine shipped to us, i bet now the machine would cost more:)
We had this 30 years ago. SIP URO
Been thinking about one of these for couple of years just don’t how it would cope with a heavy crop
Combined rakes are shit. Buy a tedder and a rake
Your John Deere 4720 looks really nice!
thanks
ReefDVMs Are you going to do a video review on your John Deere 4720?
Where/how can you get overseas “European” equipment?
Minnesota Equipment Isanti or Edney distributors in Twin Cities carries them
are there American dealers ?
Haybobs are nice too...:)
do you need to get your parts from overseas also? Expensive ?
Not really there is full dealership in the states which helps now=) but its not in Minnesota
Any chance I could talk to you about this machine? Was looking into one. Wanted to talk with someone who has actually used it in the field.
sure we are on facebook at facebook.com/RMSpeltz and you can message me your number and I call you=)
I didn't know you had a 4720, is it new to you guys??
Not really it was used to us few years back, think got like 700 hrs on it and its 2008 I think
What RPM in your tractor in 2:20
I like about 2200 rpm which is about 500 out to rear end on the tedder
basicly a modern newholland 253 tr
true but now one makes then in them in the states anymore that we can find
Not sure if I like it
:-)
