fordson major Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Hi Guys Just reading your posts on the balers with Engines on . I remember my dad talking about the one they owned and there is a picture of it somewhere around the house if i could find it. The model was a Newholland 76 and he said there was also some of the 66 model as well. It had a v4 wisconsine engine from memory. on the subject of engine driven foragers we had a NH 719 with a ford 2700 turbo series motor fitted. That was done by a company called Gardener I believe. I dont know if there was any straight factory engine foragers or if it was just conversion companys doing them . If i find the pics of the baler and forager i'll post them up for you . One of our old Belarus customers in pembrokeshire/ wales had a claas with a big Deutz bolted on i believe. Regards Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B O R Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 i find its very important to get the geometry right on a plough...to have it sitting in the correct position behind the tractor wheel for ploughing and also having enough underbody clearance to turn over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
