okay so as you know aggy bought me a new rotavator last year ....... well here is the report on its capability to do the job ,,,,,,,,,, .......... it is not capable by any means . possibly 40 hours work ( and thats being massivly genorous )and its been back in the shop 6 times after wrecking 6 fan belts . now finally after this last time i told them to take it back .... the problem has been the same all the way through .maybe getting into working about an hour the fan belt shreds . takes a week to be returned on most occasions so all the good weather is lost ( when we had it ) now i am not getting at REEKIES OF CUPAR FIFEfor the bad performance of the machine by any means they have done thier utmost best to sort it . it transpires that when under torque the fan pulley is out of alignment .. when we got the machine it wouldnt dig in due to the miniscule depth skeg.so after i instructed them to modify it it did work well but lo and behold the belt broke about a half hour into me stating working after they had left...in my personal opinion i think MASSEY FERGUSON did not do any test work on the prototype to see if it functioned properly .if they had i am certain they wouldnt have had these problems . now the honda engine is fantastic . but unfortunatly the machine itself is not upto the job . why am i telling you this well i told REEKIES i would be writing a report on it for this site . and i would advise anybody looking to buy one of these machines to look elsewhere for a new rotavator until massey ferguson address the problems and test it before putting it on the open market.. NOW LOOKING FOR A NEW ROTAVATOR AS HAND DOUBLE
