9 years ago only Macdon and Hesston made them. Now no one. Bought a Macdon 1920 25'. Excellent adjustability. With a roto-shear on right side cuts 60 bushel canola very well. p/u reel.
Try to find a low acre machine. Parts availability excellent.
Cereal swaths are even. Be careful regarding CCIL, older yet and check parts.
If cereal only likely not need roto-shear. Also, if you have severe hills ask neighbour if will work as they could draft. I know in mud the right wheel can't hold the machine straight.
Remember, if you can't open field with sp then you are driving in crop with tractor on backswath. Not as bad as you think. Going other way you get all but the stuff right on ground.
I found the self- adjusting canvas tighteners fussy for tracking after worn. Cheap surge capacity compared to well worn used sp. Good Luck.

Thanks for all the great information guy's. I think if mother nature will give us a 7-10 window of no rain I think we'll try a couple of 300 acre fields. Combine going round n round always working, should be able to cover some good acres. Thanks again!

I forgot about first turn backwards, but it's no big
loss, looks worse than it really is.
