jdc Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Found an old Britains drill and thought it could be made into a DA mounted drill, but after chopping lumps off for a couple of hours, there wasn't much left of the original. Plan is to make it demountable with stands. Still a long way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Found an old Britains drill and thought it could be made into a DA mounted drill, but after chopping lumps off for a couple of hours, there wasn't much left of the original. Plan is to make it demountable with stands. Still a long way to go. I tried the very same thing before John and like you I ended up with a hopper, a fan and some coulters! I think the coulters are set too far back on the accord frame for it to work as it is, it really needs a pretty much scratch built chassis for it all to look right when mounted on the drill. \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 Same as you Jase, and I checked and the hopper's not exactly the right size either ( ) so I would probably have been better ebaying the drill. It is going to be for a 3.0m power harrow, as the end coulters were broken anyway. As it is there it will clear the packer roller, the fan is in the right place re-p/harrow gearbox and looks 'about right'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
