Gav836 Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 A Terra-Disc is a good tool for levelling ground and mixing in trash BUT if you do a lot of ground with it and it turns wet you can forget getting back on it for a good while as they seem to smear the ground beneath so the water can't drop through \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdc Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I did wonder why you had both markers up. Looks like good barley ground - just straight on top of the ploughing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODELFARMER Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I did wonder why you had both markers up. Looks like good barley ground - just straight on top of the ploughing? i still wonder? the run before had the marker down? gav have you gps in that lady? if so you are a lazy git My old man says the day he need gps to keep straight is the day he stops, its part of the fun fighting the sidecasting ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nashmach Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Oh yes Gav is rubbing it into all of us who still have ground too wet to sow spring barley although I was tempted last weekend but looking at the weather soon changed my mind :D Tidy job there Gav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 i still wonder? the run before had the marker down? gav have you gps in that lady? if so you are a lazy git My old man says the day he need gps to keep straight is the day he stops, its part of the fun fighting the sidecasting ground I never have the marker down on the last headland run apart from on the side of the field where I'm going to carry on drilling, no point really. We have talked about getting GPS but thats more for bedforming than drilling, at the minute its an expensive item that we can live without Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Nice photo's Gav, that's a straight line if I ever I saw one! There are acres and acres of autumn sown crops round here where the headlands were drilled first with a Rapide when it was two wet. It's an embarrassment if nothing else. Your ground looks pretty near on perfect for doing it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 very nice Gav, seen the pic o the cab hound on BFF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 Had a Lemken on demo the past day or so, thats now all of them apart from a Gregoire Besson, no too worried now as we don't think that would be chosen anyway. As I'm ploughing again we've put duals on the old 6810 and thats now drilling, giving the old thing a clear out as it hasn't been worked like this for a while. Bit tougher going on this bit, one of last years spud fields As a comparison, our Kv on the same field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 The 6810 on the drill, sounded really nice pulling it and pulls it well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 Oops! This was a big lake when we harvested the spuds, I managed to plough it and it didn't go over too bad however it turened out to be fairly wet when the drill tried to go through it : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODELFARMER Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 crikey and thats with 8 wheels!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 It's the drill thats the problem Ricky, the mud balls up in front of the press wheels and you just can't move it, it even had my 6920s on its knees saturday when I found a couple of damp patches. If that had been a mounted drill he'd have got through it no problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODELFARMER Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I see a Rapid thats not so rapid ha ha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 is a trailed drill quicker planting then a mounted one then gav, in my day so to speak it was only the mf 130 arround trailed wise,most used a accord mounted or similar, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 Vaderstad's are a completely different breed of drill Sean, they are designed to be used at high ground speeds where combinations and the like wouldn't be able to function. I usually operate it at 12-15kph, 7-10kph would be about max for a combination about here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 lot quicker then, had to ask, like i said valderstads wernt arround when we had the farms, or they were very new, just about everyone had mounted ones bar the mf's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Nevermind the plough, look at the job the Vaderstad is making of the ploughed ground!! Brilliant job (in the right conditions!). Even the little ones take some pulling mind. I demo'd one on a 7840. . .. good job I was only drilling OSR as if it was loaded up with wheat I wouldn't have got the thing to budge! Sean are you forgetting the Tive drills, the Nordstens, the Parmiters. . .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 no mate, not many of them round our neck of the woods, near on all used mounted accord type ones , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Nice work there Gav although the Lemken doesn't seem to be matching exactly on each run I bet the 6810 is well full pulling the drill :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
