They do a good job thats for certain as long as you keep the knife in good shape. Yes it should be ok on your Dexta, better if it has live hydraulics though and you will need muscles like hercules to adjust the head angle on that big wheel. The cutter works on both sides of the tractor by putting the arm over centre. The PTO shaft should run level on it, you put it on the tractor, lift it up to remove the stands before setting it so shaft is level, the black squares have four different positions and lock it against the lift arms so it cannot drop any further

What do you want to know? I used to have one on my Nuffield 4/60 a few years back

16 inch furrows when pulling the press, often open it right up to 20 inches on the headland, especially if the drill is right up my backside

The Kv was a terrible plough thats why we didn't buy it, it looked weakly built in places, blocked up with excessive trash, the wheel would jam upside down and it was expensive, it suffered from all the same problems that our 25 year old one did, the Lemken is a far superior and better built plough in my opinion

That isn't light land Will, its horrible wet sticky land normally, its just very dry beneath still which is why its turning over so well. These pictures were taken spring time when I ploughed it for the beet with a Kv demonstrator plough, the water has come up through the furrow bottom

A couple from today, the cows munching on their first bale of ammonia treated barley straw, were eating it as quick as we put it in, and the newly weaned 9 month old calves

The smallest quantity is 1 aerosol can or 1 litre can, John Deere yellow is easy as its the same as plant yellow, RAL code 1018, get mine from the local industrial tool firm, half the price of the JD dealer

Our not so new toy fitted on the faithfull 135, came out of a shed they were clearing out at the owners house over the road, my boss and myself have a use for it, pictures to come when I get it up and running

Heres a few pictures from Friday when we were ploughing and drilling behind sugarbeet, field is 39 acres in size and nice long ends. Started against the straightest hedge but even that had a bend in it......but not for long :D My feathered fiends 6910 and Vaderstad My faithfull co-pilot :D

Changed the plough points again (cheap nasty spurious items.....sore point ), cleaned out all the cattle buildings and littered them with my colleague, got our not so new toy set up on our not so new tractor and started to wean the calves

Thats shallow, a few potato growers plough down to 14-15 inches locally as well You can add another 1 to 2 furrows for the force it takes to pull the press as well so on easy going 5 furrows plus the press requires the same force to pull as a 6 furrow plough would, on tough going it would be nearer 7 furrows. Its a lot better now press arms are nearer the headstock, a few years back when the arms were mounted down the beam it used to ruin ploughs over time due to the forces involved

Guess again, 9-10 inches deep for cereals, 12 for sugarbeet

Several times but I can usually manage to pull it out straight again, especially now I have a hydraulic vari-width plough, well unless i'm ploughing on a curve anyway

We tend to leave them to it, I was just heading to the first bit they lifted to plough it

You pick something out in the hedge at the far end of the field and don't take your eyes off it, usually works. Its a big problem if you're drilling sugarbeet Will, spent 5 years drilling 700 acres a year, needs to be straight then

Heres a few pictures from this week, my tractor is now fixed, all problems were being caused by the electric cooling pump for the transmission going on the blink then packing up, approx £800-1000 part :o a couple of pictures just for Marky of ploughing the potato fields They started lifting our beet today, will try to get more pictures tomorrow. Harvester is brand new this year again Buster went climbing today when my colleague climbed the straw stack to try to spot where a machine was working we could hear

No it isn't actually Sean as there was an RTA on a road here last year between a car and a tractor hedge cutting, there were no signs out and when asked the answer by the powers that be were that they aren't a legal requirement

Not really surprising, just several bad ones about yet our neighbour has a 6920 thats never been any trouble

6810 is ultra reliable, only ever had routine servicing till 7750hrs when the front axle was rebushed due to operator neglect and new injectors fitted 6910 other than brakes wearing out reliable so far 6420s........oh dear : half shaft bearings once a year, driveshaft, spool and electronic niggles

My 6920s, the eco settings on the autopower engine management are up the spout, been plagued by sensor problems derating the fuel supply to the engine finally with the dealer out for the second time the backend/transmission overheated. Dealers out again tomorrow to investigate cause of problems, we are far from happy, the tractors a heap of excrement >

Thats true, he is partial to a drop of beer as I found out :D

The wind it blew my garden gate open while Buster was out in the garden, I knew nothing about it until a lady just brought him back from the pub, apparently he's been chasing cars down there for the past 30 mins

Part-timer :D

While thats a terrible accident it begs the question why didn't he have flash back arrestors fitted to the bottles, its madness not to as they would have prevented this from happening

First time for everything :D
