NewHolland2 Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 Really have to get this topic up to date to here goes....... Got all the ploughing done once March came Most of the fields getting out into barley needed a power harrow in front of the drill due to the way in which they dried out after the plough so a 6490 was hired in for a week to get on in front of me with the drill but I did get a spell on the 6490 to try her out Meanwhile the cows were calving on the courts Between the bad weather that came as we moved into April and after a long wait on a new bearing for the packer roller of the drill we got the barley into the ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 The 3095 may not have been up to the power harrow but I still gave her an airing on the grubber ripping up endrigs before sowing them Managed to use the 6490 for rolling as well which made a difference on her bigger wheels As time went on we eventually got a good enough day to get the fertiliser on the grass up the hill And in-keeping with tradition we have another new purchase in the for of a Kuhn Primor bedder/feeder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewHolland2 Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 Love the update... You've been busy Cheers Pete, yep nice bit of variety....... been a busy boy then mart, was there much difference drive wise between the 6480 and 6490 then?? The 6490 was an older model so had the older Dynashift transmission with 4 gears in 4 ranges and a hare and tortoise box as opposed to the newer Dyna6 transmission in our own 6480. I must say I liked the 6490 but for an 03 plate tractor with only over 2000 hours I thought she was a bit tatty but none-the-less did our job well and worked the power harrow effortlessly.
