we've had great service out of our Kuhns. never used any other brands so can't say much about them but other than regular maintenance our kuhns have never let us down.

we have had tremendous luck with the new hollands. don't know anything about the kuhns. I have heard from a few different people that the vermeers are really good and last forever.

the new Holland was a Kuhn for many years think the deck on the better ones still is, Kuhn, claas, krone all good, the krone is now shaft drive mucho quieter, Kubota bought the vicon unit and it is the only one I know of with three blades, the Hesston, caseih and new idea are all good mowers. Having said all that I will say this stay away from any machine that has an oil bath deck they are a bear for maintenance and costly to repair. Personally the Vermeer is my current choice for the ease of changing blades outside of that; Vermeer,kuhn , krone, claas, new Holland the good not the economy, and the Kubota are all worth considering. For me it will come down to price and dealer support ; that's not much of an answer currently I would buy the Kubota or Vermeer from personal use and local dealers.

Agco has the best unit on the market. 1383 or 1386.....Massey, Challenger or Hesston. All the same. These are new units for 2015 and feature the same razor bar head as the self propelled units. No manufactured stress points in the cutter bar like the competition has. No stripped hubs or broken shafts. Have ran competitive units side by side....no comparison on quality of cut and conditioning. Also narrowest cutter bar and strongest frame in the industry. Hydraulic tensioner on the conditioner rolls. 3 year cutter bar warranty. You'll never ever replace a turtle hub or shaft again!

Krone would be my choice with the safe cut hubs always been leader in forage technology that just my two cents.

The Agco units would be my choice. Ever since I went from New Holland to Massey I went from having lots of cutterbar issues to none with the Masseys

My Kuhns have been pretty much trouble free and work great. I wouldn't look to use anything else. Great machines.

There you go Bert, that pretty much clears it up, and weeds out all the bad ones. I have a case ih because of dealer support and closest available. Brother has a Reese, neighbors have a Krone and they all perform well
