Tractorman810 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 not bad then 2 months near on, thought it might have been longer than that, is the seeder removable then so you can use just the harrow??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 not bad then 2 months near on, thought it might have been longer than that, is the seeder removable then so you can use just the harrow??? Not as bad as it looks, but more difficult than the Accord - 6 bolts, 2 pins and a couple of hoses and cables. Don't think I'll need to take it of though. The coulter bar lifts hydraulically to allow power harrowing without drilling as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light Land Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Congratulations John,Awsome looking bit of kit. Did you think about getting a subsoiler in front of the harrow? might pull up trash/raw soil with your tillage system? \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Nice buy there John! Interesting to see that Kuhn have gone up to the 4 series power harrows now - so which power harrow are you sticking on the front now I bet the Accord made good money as a trade in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big A Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 very nice peice of kit john, you will be desperate for autumn sowing to come along now. your tractor fleet certainly looks well kept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 nice machine john will you be using the front power harrow as well I think I'll have to stick with it after the plough, CJ, but hoping to find something different to follow the Sumo with. very nice John, its been a long time coming!! 1:32 model soon then TT calls me Mr Indecisive. Model - hmmm, got a couple of ideas. Congratulations John,Awsome looking bit of kit. Did you think about getting a subsoiler in front of the harrow? might pull up trash/raw soil with your tillage system? \ I've only got a T8060 Ol, not some huge american artic like you. Hopefully the Sumo will subsoil enough.... Nice buy there John! Interesting to see that Kuhn have gone up to the 4 series power harrows now - so which power harrow are you sticking on the front now I bet the Accord made good money as a trade in I think the 4 series is the modified headstock, sideplates etc for the Venta. The newish one (3003) which is currently under the drill will move to the front and the 1991 vintage one will go back under the Accord (for emergency use!) Wasn't offered a lot for the Accord, Colm, so decided to keep it, at least for the time being. very nice peice of kit john, you will be desperate for autumn sowing to come along now. your tractor fleet certainly looks well kept. Thanks Big A - quite looking forward to it now as long as it stays dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light Land Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Do you use a hyd top link on the harrow/seeder to pull her in abit on the headlands? (Thats what my boss in Germany did) How deep are you working the power harrow under the seeder? sorry John....I gota know these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I'm surprised you did not get offered much for the Accord John - any heap of scrap of one is usually €1200 over here with 12m tramlines and no markers. Have a friend who bought one like that for about €1500 and spent as much again on it getting all the markers set up correctly with its own mechanism and newer tramline box etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Thats what my boss in Germany did) How deep are you working the power harrow under the seeder? sorry John....I gota know these things. I've never used a hyd. top link Ol - sometimes on the headlands I just drop the power harrow in by an inch or so ( 'one hole' on the adjuster) as I suppose it's only working at about 3" - 4" normally.

Gav836 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Looks a good bit of kit John, can't say I blame you for keeping the Accord as well, monetry value aside, as at least you could keep drilling if there were any warranty issues with the new one, which given new kit these days wouldn't be unheard of unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking great john, a wise choice by a wise man. Kuhn too, good choice by my experience. When will she be getting dirty? Bet we will see a 1/32 scale one soon. Nice updates john. Cheers Jez. If the drill is as tough as their power harrows, she'll be OK I've just finished drilling the grass and kale I had to do so probably not until August.

Cheers Steven. I'm looking forward to having a serious 'play' with the electronics etc. Had a call from a neighbour to spread some fert. on silage ground. As it was due to rain yesterday I thought I'd get it done. Renault was on the sprayer so put some weights on the 65 and off we went... Nice view over to the Cheviot Hills from there.
