Tractorman810 Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 and hitched to a beast of a tractor to mate, looks ok to me, bit of paint to be done? or are you leaving it as it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civilpek Posted August 22, 2006 Author Share Posted August 22, 2006 theres a bit of a tilt on it alrite when its on this tractor but it fits fine to most of my other tractors, anyway i dont mind the tilt on it so much as there is a couple of those spreaders around here that tilt slightly when in the transport position well i know the part that connects to the tractor is blue, thats cos tis off a lemken power harrow and i still ned it for that so i cant go painting it, but im going to get the same piece again in red so that should sort it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Why don't you buy a Siku linkage adapter set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Want to watch the pto shaft if you let it up that high for transport purposes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civilpek Posted August 22, 2006 Author Share Posted August 22, 2006 Why don't you buy a Siku linkage adapter set? well that linkage is handy as the top section slides onto it after the linkage is connected to the tractor, makes it easier for connecting to the tractor cos you can extend the length of it for different tractors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow legs Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 bit of over kill hp wise need a smaller yoke. looks good thoe, i want a 3690 , i have a dt spreader like that, its in my for sale box as i have all the newer siku ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 You beat me to it. . . .been looking at that model for ages now ... typical me spending ages doing nothing. Don't worry about the tilt, it's empty so it will lift a little forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 alan, try it on a different tractor mate, as those britains mf chassis do lift a lot higher than the older ones, may be why it seems to have more of a tilt ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civilpek Posted August 24, 2006 Author Share Posted August 24, 2006 ya it does fit perfect on the other tractors with no tilt at all hooked up to a 6140 at the mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 yeah those mf 6290 chassis do lift a hell of a lot higher than the older chassis, real strong just to high and angled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
