Please make sure you clean your rad often. I'm sure Gilles and Robbie told you that already. And just to be safe, I'd like to see the temperature in the motor compartment monitored for a few days. Sometimes, the hydraulic systems are able to push a lot of hydraulic horsepower as advertised, but the cooler can't keep up if doing so on a steady basis... Good thing is your head runs with a variable-displacement motor, which generates less heat than a fixed-displacement one...
I'm happy you like the performances. That 2-1 ratio is reported more often than seldom, although we prefer to stay conservative in our sales pitch and say you'll gain 50% over carbide-hammer machine. Of course, if you end up with customers who wants you to till their lot, you will see faster wear on our blades, and so you might want to do that with your Fecon. But for ground-level and above operations, the cutting knives are hard to beat.
Just curious, about that lean green mulching machine 25xp, how much did they charge you for that? Knowing Vermeer was asking 40k$ for a 65"-wide head only (jezz, that's 10k$ than our 74"!), I'm afraid of the price tag they put on that package. I guess, if they can sell some, maybe we should think about getting our hands on their marketing manager...
By the way, what year and model is your Fecon? Maybe we could start working on retrofit rotor for Fecon machines, just as Quadco did...
Well, anyway, enjoy your new big toy, and keep us posted on how it goes...
