flash 600 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 the kv was the light version their is a way stronger one than that lad beside us has 5f on 8400 jd and is really stronge looking plough we have 2 6f and a 7f and think they are great we had ovrum before that the kv isnt as good at getting rid of the trash as the ovrum but the head stocks are very soft on the ovrum i guess every plough has its faults Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy140 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Out of interestg mate. How many inch furrows you ploughing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 16 inch furrows when pulling the press, often open it right up to 20 inches on the headland, especially if the drill is right up my backside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 Some pictures from the end of last week of our contractor cutting hedges with his JD 6610 and new Shelbourne Reynolds trimmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy140 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I see you pull a scratch furrow out. Do you lift the plough out once its gone past it as that looks like a big headland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 I lift the plough out just as the back furrow hits the mark, the headland is about 14m wide, 24m tramlines so with headland tramline being 12m from the hedge the plough ins and outs are well clear of it meaning smooth travelling when spraying.

masseyjack590 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 nice pics and ploughing gav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 A few pictures from this week now, started ploughing our beet land for next year as its still nice and dry to get onto. Couple of pictures of the first field, 22 acres ploughed in 7 hours on 140 litres of diesel, went over nice and level. I like the Lemken plough for headlands as I just have to pull out a pin slide the depth stop up re pin it and I leave a 2 inch deep furrow in the field, easy to pull out As it was wet yesterday I was doing a few workshop jobs, the Vaderstad drill needed the following harrow tines changing........spot the difference between old and new Tines were £7.60 each...... Couple of fleet pictures, will try to get some better ones in the not to distant future L-R:- 6810 (8160 hrs), 6910 (6980hrs), 6920s (4520hrs) 6420s (3400hrs) still on spraying duties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 3 more for Lord F Cows licked off the lights last spring when it was left in the field on the water cart, will be getting it in the workshop soon and sorting them out and the leaking halfshaft seals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 That looks like really clever land you've got Gav. Certainly get your £7.60 worth out of the tines too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 Those tines have done about 3 seasons John so have done well This was that same field ploughed springtime with solid bodies on a Lemken Demonstrator, it shows the difference that slats and a dry summer can have I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 great pics Gavvers... I reckon that 135 should be 'donated' to the Massey Massive.. I'll look after it if you like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 Definately not its still too useful to us, will be running the saw bench on it for one but it also goes on our fencing trailer as its light enough to get about our wet meadows. Has been known to do the hay turning too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffithsbros Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 L-R:- 6810 (8160 hrs), 6910 (6980hrs), 6920s (4520hrs) gav is that a big hole in the mudgaurd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 It is, apparently a potato box fell on it a few years back I'd like to get it sorted, be it by filling it or replacing the panel as it spoils the look of the tractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leylandboy Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Heres a few pictures from this week, my tractor is now fixed, all problems were being caused by the electric cooling pump for the transmission going on the blink then packing up, approx £800-1000 part :of i have heard of this problem before and the man couldnt figure out what it was so he tryed everything and costed him alot of money then one night he was on the computer and found some man with the same problem and the sensor was faulty so he just unplugged it and his tractor has been orite ever since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 If it was red it would be a different story but I quite like that colour scheme until it has a 20 on the bonnet decal In all seriousness that 10 year old 6810 and 8 year old 6910 are the two best pulling tractors we have and I love driving them, more so than my 6920s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistol pete Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 well said gav the 10 series were cracking tractors the 20 series weren't that great at the start but our second 6820 has been a really good tractor. infact the 20 series is a better puller than the 6830 we have.
