My 1989 model 158 NH 13 foot tedder is having problems.Lost a bearing and now find the teeth on the input shaft are badly worn and chipped.If I can't get the gear built up,I'm looking at about 10 days until I can get anew shaft and rolling.
Dealer has an H and S (Sitrex) 17' hydraulic fold for $5,600.Another dealer has an 18' Krone for 6,500.00 used.I don't make over 100 acres of hay per year but I like things which last.Sitrex looks a little light(@1000#)Krone @1300+ and Pequea 1400.Like the looks of Vermeer but don't know if I can get one (or Pequea,for that matter).
Anyone know about a Sitrex? I can probably get a Kuhn or Frontier close by ( for me),also.
Your thoughts and advice are welcome.
