JC Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I've seen a similar topic to this on another board and thought it would be an interesting comparison to see. Whats the widest implement you have pulled with a tractor excluding a sprayer boom?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 widest i've pulled is 6m, being rolls, harrows, cultivators and beet drill, most of our cultivation kit is that width except the corn drill which is 4m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Widest implement I have pulled is my Kuhn GF 7601 MH, 8 rotor tedder, which is 7.6m or 24' 11'' in work position and 2.95m or 9' 6'' in transport position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fendt pwr Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 70 foot wide heavy harrow. 40 foot no-tillage drill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I cant even see this post past NCC's reply but I'll try a reply none the same. Pulled a 30ft straw rake in N.Dakota but on home soil it is probably the Rolex 1220's on the big farm I workedon in my middle year. Could include a barbwire fence that was attached to the discs at one point?!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schw84 Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 open or closed? cos if you forget to close the sprayer thats interesting, its like a person always laughing at people who bend spouts thinking how could they do that, then forgetting to put the combine boom back in and bending it. being in the middle of harvest and it going to rain the next day s**t what do u do you shorten the spout!! (just add it was bent by the UJ joints) hay it worked but tractor sat in the middle of the straw row rather than on top, which made interesting baling.

One of our near neighbours at work at a mishap with a 24m Case sprayer. His sprayman stopped for breakfast after finishing the field with a nice clean brand new sprayer, after he'd finished his breakfast he went to go back to the yard, trouble was he forgot to fold in the booms in the process and ripped them off the sprayer-result one very unhappy boss who put him on nasty yard duties and didn't speak to him for a few days :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I escape that as i don't do any spraying just granule spreading. I have however backed into another combine with our Lexion taking off the straw chopper in the process, the idiot parked in my blind spot, just couldn't see him in the mirrors! I know have a rear view camera fitted, brilliant bit of kit, can even back onto the header trolley with no help now. Insurance claim was about ?6k for that and ?3k for the new APS drum where it tried to digest a flint that was too big to fit in the stone trap whilst cutting tangled up spring barley \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schw84 Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 HAHAHAHA the funniest thing ive seen to do with combines is getting to the end of the field, the driver getting out the cab with a shot gun and trying to blow the s**t out of rats as they run out infront of him at the end of the row, does anyone else have the problems of "heaps" maybe just me but the person who drives the combine aught to do the baling!!

I'm good to baler operators, if i have to stop i will back up so the straw gets spread out along the existing swath as a 25ft Lexion leaves a bloody big heap, i have only cut part widths in the past as our gamekeeper has to do his own bales with a vintage MF baler, just can't cope with 25ft in one swath! Most of ours is chopped though, we don't do a lot of straw for livestock. One of our customers did bale 60 acres of barley up and 100 acres of wheat with a conventional baler one year, never seen anything like it, it was spitting a bale out every 6 feet!
