Tractorman810 Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 well recived mine before xmas, so thought a review was in order first uh box with the new fixing style i have actually removed a model from, pretty simple to do, but be aware the wire supports for the arms, do go through the framing, so don't just pull them off, i cut the bottom off then pulled from the top nice detailing on this model as we have come to expect, seems a pretty heavy model to, with a good part of the frame work on the main body being metal, along with the main tank and the center part of the arms, so muchg so infact it makes the tractor a bit front end light, well it has on the wiking i am using. the outer folding arms are plastic, and do seem a little fragile, on mine when fulled extended they do seem to curve and bend upwards, but dont be tempted to bend them back, i recon you could snap them very very easilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 the hitch part is a little unusal in its actually fixed to the tow pin of the uh linkages, not the arms as per previous models, this is in a way good as brings the model closer to the tractor as per a real one, however, it does have the 3 point parts on, bar the top link position?? which can be added easilly, be warned though to go full 3 point you will need to drill a few bits out from the mounting points, as they have made them 1 peice cast , fully extended the arms meassure 75cm or for the oldies amoungst us 29.5 inches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 mines mounted on the wiking jd, as thats why i put the rows on, as mentioned it will need work on the sprayer to get proper 3 point, but overall i recon the uh version is a great addition to anyones collection, and well worth buying, mainly as its mounted and good to see this rather than trailed good points great detailing, good price down points arms very fragile and seem to bend up and curve spray arms are not height adjustable??? not sure why overall rating 8 / 10 from me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistol pete Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Nice looking bit of kit there sean think i will have to get one for my deere as well. would look good on an 6810 fitted with rowcrops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 is nice pete, was wondering mind do they do front tanks for these?? as irecon a front linkage on the jd might be in order, according to the gauge on the tank, (which is readable liters wise) it takes 2000l so maybe a front tank isnt needed at that capacity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistol pete Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 the lads that grow spuds on our farm run a sprayer about that size with a front tank on it. the tank can self fill from a burn(stream) which is handy if they are far from home.

jdc Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Very smart model. Just a shame that the booms are only suitable to make a Lemken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 the actuall blue parts are ,well look easy enough to remove from the silver bits john, so the framing may be a usable item, even if the dispensers are not ,they only seem to be pinned through then heat bonded the other side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDH Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Looks a nice model Sean. Like the hitching method, means it should fit a variety of model manufacturers tractors. Hopefully I can get one at the Westpoint Toyfair on the 10th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 it wont fit the wiking tow pin sadly peter, the metal lug that it sits into is to big for the wiking sliding version,hence why its sort of 3 point mounted on mine instead, will try it on a siku and uh in a min, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 will be doing the pics in a min hopefully, just recharging the camera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 right here we go with the different linkages wiking first the arms will bend out without damage to sit on the underside of the sprayers linkage ,the sprayer then sits ok, if a little prone to falling off as i said top link points missing, but doesnt need much work sits level mind as the arms wont hold the weight right up heres what i ment by the pin on the wiking, as you can see the pin brackets not deep enough to take the uh tow eye mount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 uh now only had the 8690 to hand but all the same, veryeasy to fit, just slides over the top of the tow pin, and drop it down, the arms then sit under the bracket and stop it falling off would recomend you dont lift the linkage as its hard to get your fingers back between the sprayer and body to drop it again, and on mine at least it jammed the linkage in the up position sprayer doesnt really sit level then either linkage in dropped position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 siku now hard to get on, but i recon with a slight bend outwards on the arms, and a slight file down of the tow pin it will go, wasnt going to try on my bronze valtra mind as i am sure you will understand but as i said, it will go with a small bit of work i would advise the linkage is left down again as per the uh one, as i recon it will jam in the up position otherwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDH Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Thanks Sean. In reality designed to fit UH as standard. Not really a problem though. When I get hold of one I can think of about 4 UH tractors would like to moubnt it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 nice review sean, bought mine this afternoon should get in a few days, mounting on my mf3065 (ertl) with front tank. Can fill front tank with ballast to weight down if needed. Having a thick moment can not get my sums right is it 18mt boom??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archbarch Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 in reality wouldnt this be too heavy for a Ford 5640??? Shame the boom height isnt adjustable but good means of mounting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenside MF Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Cheers for reviewing this Sean and your 6930 looks good with the yellow row crops. As other members have said,the booms not being height adjustable is a shame but there only models so it doesnt matter to me,think I will try and buy one this month due to seeing decent pics of it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 1, 2010 Author Share Posted January 1, 2010 not really sure why they didnt do the adjustable height, kind of a strange thing to leave off, although looking at it, with a little care they could be made to work, the frame work etc is there ready Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
