NewHolland2 Posted February 20, 2006 Author Share Posted February 20, 2006 Last ones that i saw on ebay went for over ?45 if thats any help, seems like they are highly sought after Thanks Gavin, I had a feeling I'd be looking at that price......I've got one but it's dusty and has done lots of work on the 1/32 farm but is all there and in mint condition if it was given a dust . I was just curious as I think I'll try and get a MIB one at some point when I've got some spare dosh...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewHolland2 Posted February 20, 2006 Author Share Posted February 20, 2006 I can remember when I bought it I was a bit surprised that the actual seed would drop from the height of the drill pipes into the ground, but in saying that it's my main seed drill in 1/32 as the Massey Ferguson 130 just sits in the corner of the yard...... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james f Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Why do you guys want the drill to move, they dont on the real thing, theyre just mounted lower and rise up and down with the harrow on the lift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 the few i have seen down here rise seperatlly to the harrow part,? not sure if they all do that ,but sure some one out there knows Some drills mount straight onto the power harrow like the Amazone one in my Drilling spring barley topic, others are mounted to the power harrow via a linkage of some description so they can be lifted up seperately, handy on heavy land that needs 2 passes of the power harrow which is why we operate one like this on our heavy land Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james f Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 got any pics then James PLEASE!! ??? \ I'll have a look tomorrow for you if I get time Some drills mount straight onto the power harrow like the Amazone one in my Drilling spring barley topic, others are mounted to the power harrow via a linkage of some description so they can be lifted up seperately, handy on heavy land that needs 2 passes of the power harrow which is why we operate one like this on our heavy land True Gavin but the ones that lift up and down seperataly are known as box drills and are a completely different style to the britans type of drill. As far as doing a conversion based on a Britains model goes, the coulter bar on the real ones are mounted on a paralellogram linkage so that the coulter height can be adjusted using a turnbuckle on either side, but hydraulics would be wrong.

I know most mounted on up and over linkages are box drills but i have seen an Accord pneumatic mounted in such a way using a hydraulic motor to drive the fan, not very common but it has been done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 i have seen several accord types mounted down here on rams,and a pretty new sulky rig to,don't see many of the other type at all, can only remember 1 to my knowledge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james f Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Pulled this off Google image search as an example of what I'm talking about. You can see that the main section including the seed hopper is rigidly attached to the back of the power harrow, and the coulter bar is mounted on a pair of paralellograms, one of which is visible behind the seed pipes going from the hopper to the coulters. the air fan is usually belt driven off the back of the power harrow gearbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
