captainhastings Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I have an ff6 which is great but am I missing a trick by not having a rotatory. Think that is what they are called. You whack two dead birds on and it spins around in a circle. If so any recommendation that won't break the bank or upset the mrs ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 A rotary is just another tool that will help on any particular day. Years ago we used to make our own with a car wiper motor. Buy a reputable cheap one from A1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsh man Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 21 minutes ago, JDog said: But are you aware that the arms extend? Your rotary might well be the same as mine , as well as the arms extending the base have got square rod inserted in the hollow length of metal to raise it up if needed on tall crops and a screw under the small square rods that the arms marry into , the screws can raise or lower the arms again if needed and can also be used if you want the arms to go round at two different levels , although by now everything you can try with a rotary have already been tried many times over and over again , or have they ?
