Gav836 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I think i'm right to say that these were badge engineered jobs done by Vicon/Greenland as i helped out for an autumn on a farm who ran a 6m Vicon badged model back in about 1999 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewHolland2 Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 Thanks Marky......Looks less odd when it's in the working position...... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I agree Mart... strange looking thing.. my preference is for the 500 (well... we all know it's a 30 really) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 I agree Mart... strange looking thing.. my preference is for the 500 (well... we all know it's a 30 really) What's the difference between the 500 and the 30 then Marky? Did the 500 evolve into the 30? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Other way around Mart really... the 30 was around for many many years (since the late 60's early 70's I would guess)... I think they made a number of modifications and decided to re-badge it the 500 \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nashmach Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Don't have that 510 brochure but I do have the 500 one. The differences between the 500 and the 30 were the 500 had double acting lift/lower, bigger hoppers, better transport kit and better metering system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The differences between the 500 and the 30 were the 500 had double acting lift/lower, bigger hoppers, better transport kit and better metering system I would imagine health & safety put pay to the "spring release" system of the 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 We have two at college one being in original Vicon form with suffolk coulters and a MF version with disc coulters the discs being a standard spec and i must say they are rather easy to calibrate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
