ertlerik Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Found this T9040 with 30ft grader working hard, got to talk to the owner for a bit, so here is what i got. The T9040 is pretty much a stock unit, it has the Cummins Cursor engine with the powershift 16/2 transmission, 470 HP. Tire's are Trelleborg 900/60R42 The grader is build by the owner Wicher Hendriks, because there is only one company that builds a 30 ft grader and he did not like the way it was designed, Hendriks has worked 600 hours with this outfit so far and is very satisfied with it. The price of the T9040 is about the same as a Fendt 936 but Hendriks says that could never pull this grader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ertlerik Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 curious now, why are they leveling the field of like that ?? looks very flat anyway, Yes the field is fairly flat, thing is when a field is perfect almost like a pool table, you get an even better seedbed, witch will give an even crop, so higher yield, you will harvest cleaner, all and all together higher net profit.

Tractorman810 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 ah didnt think it would make that much difference, wonder why you do not see it used over here for the same reasons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unkelfergus Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 curious now, why are they leveling the field of like that ?? looks very flat anyway, Was thinking the same Great pictures,brings back a few memories for me. Many years ago I worked weekends for a neighbouring farmer on the south downs using a TW-25 pulling an 8 metre Wilder pressure harrow, sometimes you would be pulling huge amounts of dirt about, making the tractor work and puff copious amounts of black smoke. It looked and sounded great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archbarch Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 ah didnt think it would make that much difference, wonder why you do not see it used over here for the same reasons? Farmers in the uk adapt to the land although there have been some large fenland farmers square up fields by levelling drains and digging new ones to create large square fields. Great pics i think those arctic nh tractors are very pleasing on the eye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texas Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Great pictures you have made Erik. The new holland with the grader is a very impressive combination and i think it was great sound.

ertlerik Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 Buddy of mine is running a Ploeger AR-4B, he was harvesting not to far from my place so i went along with him a few rounds. What a sweet machine, very comfy Claas cab, it is almost to dry to harvest at this time, witch makes it very dusty, other than that it was going great.
