was the county there?

That is stunning dave, but your work is hard to beat...

You thinking of doing a 2nd one?

This post must be the biggest waste of time yet mark.....

well it was for me, it wont load...

Jake ol is right about the 21 run, we only have 19run so it fits inside the truck sides to travel to our other farm 150km away onece every 2 years

we only use 70-100 hp on it and it runs aound hills fine

All it comes down to is what you can find that best suits you

What sort are you looking at? disc with press ring or coulter with tyne baker boot?  Tyne and baker boot isnt very good in trash, its a giant anoying rake,

Well jake

I cant comment on parts as they are just down the road.... and cant coment on back up for the same reason

press rings arnt a fan of large stones, but what cast ring is??  they are durable thats for sure, quite hard wearing, most of the wearing parts are stock steel so you can make your own easy, (mainly the slide guides on the rear of the drill) There seed boxs have a habbit of sending the seed to the right side of the box for some reason ( left allways emptys 1st) no matter what way you are constanly turning, ihave run 3 diffrent drills and they all do it, realy odd to me

all in all they are a good cheap drill if you are mechanicly/ engenering inclined like we are, it breaks we fix it...

the most expensive part is the gear box, we havent broken ours but wanted a 2nd one for making a roller drill..

Our drill has a fert box and seed box, ill take some pics next week when im at the yard

ours has a moore sytem sticker on it....

Hope that didnt bore you to much

been just told today not to bother too much with spraying the urea........yes the guy told me  ( I ordered next springs fert today because the price is due to keep rising they tell me ) the urea will help the chemical but  he said he knows of nobody round here using liquid fert.....very wet and he says it might tend to run off as often we spread when the ground is quite bare of vegetation............he also added I`d be better to get used to the sprayer first before trying to use it too much .

do you know much about the aitchison drills Ol?

What do you want to know jake? i use a 19 run direct drill with press rings, just gave it a full rebuild , had done around 15,000 ha im told

they are made in the towns each side of where i live, good farmers drill, not such a contractors drill

So what did you want to know?

Its been pretty easy, had the cab at the dairy farm and we had a weeks rain so the cab was shoved in the workshop and done....  i have a very well kitted toolbox so i have every thing i need at home, so just do the mechanics in the evning and days off,

truth be knowen i need her finshed to go tractor pulling in november , but i need to have her out doing some work 1st to learn how to pull the best, plan on shoving one of our 5 furrow ploughs behind her in a couple of weeks, that will teach me how to pull with her.....

Im not realy that happy with the paint work, there are a few small runs and dents that should have been taken out.... BUT this is my 1st real repaint i hav edone so its proberly not that bad n the scale of it all
