Murray Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Drills like that are the worst when you get stuck because of all the tines and wheels thats on the machine, i know when the vaderstad the contractor runs when she gets stuck its no laughing matter, usually need to hitch the jd of pull her out with 2 tractors then the seeder comes out eats up 1-2 hours of your day aswell. friend of mine was practicing for the ploughing match that we had yesterday he stuck his jd 6920s one of the back wheels disappeared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODELFARMER Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Nice mess, o well, get a winch to her or a tracked digger, use the bucket like a lever in the ground move it all bit by bit. we have a winch on our vintage case but you're a long way away ha ha!

Deere-est Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 A Horsch drill is better suited to being towed by tracks as they do very little else other than make a slot and drop a seed in it. Looking at the photo's I would try the following should there be a half decent loader of some kind available. Pack the drill up as if to transport and then unhitch it. Pull the Challenger out and clear. At 45deg to the hitch, chain a loader to it and lift the front of the drill clear. Back another machine up at 90deg to the hitch from the opposite side as the loader. With enough throttle to pull but not so much as to pull too hard, pull the drill with the tractor while the loader driver follows the drill round the 90deg twist keeping the front suspended. You should end up with the drill straddled at 90deg across it's current position and be able to then hitch it back on to pull it clear. Just an idea.

archbarch Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 rubber tracks flex too much, the idlers do not cover the full width of the track, therefore the weight isnt spread that well. sometimes youre better off broadcasting wheat and cultivating it in when its wet.
