nashmach Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Forget about them yokes on rolls. I have seen enough of rolls broken in 2 due to them and it is the main reason why most near me now have either a press or non powered harrow.

Murray Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Spaldings here we come . . . . Don't suppose the part number is still visable on em? aye they will be as we just put 2 new end tines on her this year, will look this weekend for ya or is that to late ;D sure theres nothing wrong with them rollers treat them well and they will work well just like anything, how can you break the rollers with these anyways suppose the worst it can do is wear them but over time as this rollers only see 500 acre a year say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ploughmaster Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 wonder if i bought a worn out powerharrow and jus didn't put the shaft on? Most farms used to have power harrows without the power. They were called a straight tooth/zig-zag harrow Most folk have (misguidedly in my opinion) sent them for scrap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 given your welding skills i would have thought you could make a set of zag harrows ricky seen a fair few people using a roller system like murrays this way the last year, still a good few power harrow with rigs like jdc has mind, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 id go for a power harrow myself, but some of the stones we plough up here is bad so id fear for the power harrow, least with the rollers you dont have that fear of seriously breaking something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Cultipress bit over kill surley. and i think rickys 69 may be puffing a black reek that day ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 bit over kill surley. and i think rickys 69 may be puffing a black reek that day ;D Maybe but a far better job than scrapers on a ring roller. A man near me has one and it is a superb piece of kit but ££££'s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schw84 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 A second hand 3.3 meter one possibly not on DD rings wouldn't cost a bomb, and you could pull it with 100hp in 4wd, may take several times to go over, but getting deeper each time? We used to use the toptilth which is basically a more complex item like your talking about as its a leveling bar, tines, packer, tines, packer and it doesn't do as good job.

Deere-est Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 RE: The suggestion of a Toptilth, one of the chaps I help out with has a 3m mounted one which he bagged for £500. Doesn't look the prettiest but has good metal on it, would actually make a nice project with a sand blaster and a spray gun but truth be known, it works and it works very well so that's all that matters. Another chap I help out with has a trailed one, possibly 4m non folding which he pulls with a 6900. He paid under £1500 at a farm sale for that one and it's flipping tidy. A lot of the buyers were from big farms and this was too small for them. It maid for an excellent buy for his 400 acres. http://farmingforum.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=23135&highlight=simba+top+tilth Add taken from here http://www.farmersguide.co.uk/adview.php?cat_id=57 Simba Toptilth 4m rigid, wheels over back type, good working order, c/w spares. £1,250.

schw84 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 These would be your best options, however, a neighbor pulls his 5.5m cultipress with a quadtrac and although it pulls at a decent speed it fairly grunts when he puts it in deep, and that's well over 350hp so it all depends on how deep you wish to set your tines.

masseyjack590 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 we have a 3m toptill it is good on weathered ploughing but when it sets rock hard it is not as good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
