Gav836 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 One of our contract farms has bought us some kit to use this year, one of them being this 4m Vaderstad system disc drill which was delivered yesterday. My collegues are giving it weary glances and have nick named it the Very-stuck due to the wet nature of the farm :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 You would expect it to be piped up on a manifold really wouldn't you?? What does one of these cost?? I've not looked too hard but apparently every disc has one on it just for starters, we were actually discussing this morning the possibilities of fitting an auto lube system to it. Will have to do a bit of subtle digging about the cost but needless to say it would be around the ?25-30000 mark i think going by what our KRM mounted drill cost us 5 years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 My thoughts on price weren't too far wrong then........ Whats 1/32 of ?30,000 ?? :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drill will be going on ploughed work only but will try to find out though. The Vaderstad was all that this chap wanted and whatever he wants he buys regardless of cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
