| Check the number of arms per rotor, digi-drive vs double cardan U-joint drive and various other little things like that. I really didn't look at the NH tedders when I was buying because there were none in stock around at the time and I needed one...
You could also look at Deere's Frontier line. They're selling what is basically a rebadged Pequea. From all indications this TD2427 I bought appears as good as a Kuhn. It's certainly well built (heavy). The things to watch are the small things like the digi-drive vs u-joint couplings. This one has the double cardan... and I belive the actual Pequea has digidrive... so there are some differences. That said... this seems to work fine. The only gripe I have about this machine is that it's caster wheels catch and ball up with short hay when you're working in certain conditions and I may need to add a curtain of some sort to stop that. It was also more money than a Kuhn of the same width but I liked the way the baskets fold up onto the frame for transport on this one.
I suspect if you found a Pequea dealer with a machine 'in stock' you might be able to deal a bit more than what options I had at the time.
