Jez Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 depends mate your 6420s might cope just needed to try. it will depend on the soil and how dry it is It's Ireland Pete, I am not sure that it gets dry there?

MODELFARMER Posted March 28, 2009 Author Share Posted March 28, 2009 Well i took off all shares cleaned behind them throughly then put on again with thread lock and set her on timber at all times No breaks since touch wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeredriver Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 well that's good news mate hope the trouble is over now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 The problem with the shares was a bad batch. Several people on BFF were also complaining about them being too brittle compared to usual. Ricky you might get away with the 6420S on the rollers as my next door neighbour has been doing it before albeit slowly. Another guy near us uses a TM120 so similar power. Have you tried Nelson Alexanders for a front linkage - sale up there on Saturday again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MODELFARMER Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 Ok had a fun day today, really need to be in the workshop for the show but needs must and sometimes needs must not > Spent alot of the day lifting stones with the 6420s and stone fork so the big lady can drill all day tomorrow without stop hopefully Most of our fields corners are piled high with stones over the years so ye have to kinda buckrake em ha ha We had Barley seed delivered, in ruddy bulk bags!! seeder holds 400kg, these are 500kg typical, anyway, thats a minor issue, from the hopper to the back of the seed drill measures 7.5feet I don't have a telescopic so what did i do next? ;D Well a simple set of long toes would simply snap the original truck toes so I got the MIG out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
