Gav836 Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 Nope, as any good tractor driver will tell you, you have to get out to check the depth of soil regularly when power harrowing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDFord Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Some people say power harrowing is slow and boring, i've never done it myself, but I enjoy any tractor job really - what speed do you travel at Gav? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 That was fairly light land I was on today so I was going at 7-8 kph, will probably be going much slower when I get onto some heavier soil. I don't mind power harrowing, I can think of much worse jobs to do than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Gav, will you be doing a Lely / Prosol conversion for the UH 836 then? For the 'machines I have driven shelf'? Nice pics and lovely tractor, harvest was a joy on one of them all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Common practice Murray, encourages plenty of growth when you roll a cereal crop like that, also pushes all the stones in ok thanks gav all we do is get it seeded about a day later we come back and pull the cambride rollers over it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Great pics Gav... but as mentioned before... man oh man that Claas is UGLY.. frankly... it's the Barry Stunt of the tractor world At least it's not a nasty old case...

sparrow legs Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 That was fairly light land I was on today so I was going at 7-8 kph, will probably be going much slower when I get onto some heavier soil. I don't mind power harrowing, I can think of much worse jobs to do than that i hate power harrowing! were my dad works they go in the slowest gear you can and the land is that heavey it gets done 2/3 times before the powerharrow drill combie i get told off when i "send her on" as they say :'( were i used to work went too fast in my opinion, didnt give the harrow chance to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted April 11, 2008 Author Share Posted April 11, 2008 Here's a few from today. Got in this morning and both the Quadtracs were in the yard so here's a few pics of the one on the 6m Simba drill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted April 11, 2008 Author Share Posted April 11, 2008 My first job was to take a B reg Ford 7710 on a 20 mile trip to where a potato planting gang were working, they needed the tractor for putting on the trailers and elevator for filling the planters. The other tractor being used for that job was a Case MXM175 Pro which I have now taken over for terra discing and now rotor-ridging in front of the de-stoners (pics of that to come tomorrow, weather permitting) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted April 11, 2008 Author Share Posted April 11, 2008 Just a few general pics from today now of the planting and destoning team, MTX 140 and JD 6830 on the Standen planters and Claas Ares's on the de-stoners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
