NCC Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I bet you haven't seen these before ;) We use these to work down our ploughed ground, we do 2 passes with them both horizintally and vertically across the field which usually gives us a decent seedbed. Sometimes we might do a 3rd pass at say a 45 deg angle if the field is rough or the seedbed isn't fine enough. Set's of blades much like mower blades except a little larger do all the slicing and breaking up of the ploughed ground. There not really a deep cultivation tool, about 8-9 inchs maybe. Forward speed is a 8-9k on the first pass as it's rather bumpy, then going to 14-15k on the second pass, the faster you go the better job it makes I believe ;) What a rant that was, heres the pics :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 i've seen them before, we owned a set where i used to work, never got used while i was there, we pulled them out of the nettles to see about reblading them but the cost was too much so we dumped them back in the nettles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC Posted April 29, 2006 Author Share Posted April 29, 2006 In transport position, there a tad over 3.5m thanks to the rear shaft sticking out at the rear. You have to watch out for lamp posts and street signs when tear ar$eing down county lanes :D ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 bet you can see where you have been down a narrow lane! should think they chew the banks up like our discs do don't they :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 sounds like our Cousins combination harrow (pic in drilling sugarbeet topic) was until this year, front coil had smashed up 2 years ago so was just a shaft, works better now we have a new spiral on the shaft, strange that :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Interesting tool Nath, never seen one in print or in the metal until now mate. How does it fold up like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordson lass Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 We used them for a little while they do a good job on light sandy soil but no good on heavy soil.We find it quicker to use a powerharrow and drill. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC Posted April 29, 2006 Author Share Posted April 29, 2006 Interesting tool Nath, never seen one in print or in the metal until now mate. How does it fold up like that? Easy really, reverse the yellow headstock into the red frame work and while your pushing it back get the yellow box section to go through the metal loops and thats it basically. Theres also 2 little prongs that sit under the first bit of frame work that sort of stabilize it. I've made that sound 20 times harder than it actually is you know :D : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
