allis8550 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 That's amazing, never seen a set up like that before, the trailed power harrows look as if the're on forklift masts?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Very interesting, wonder what kind of efficiency they get from that set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only took me 12 months to catch him. I stood there waving at the edge of the field but he didn't stop!! Probably couldn't!! :D I will get the close ups he promised me if it kills me!!

Richard de Florennes Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 very interesting indeed and nice pics, but definately one of the ugliest farming implements I have seen ever ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know but I WILL find out!! Might take 12 months again!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Don't know but I WILL find out!! Might take 12 months again!! :D I may have to go look in the loft on this one for you, I'm sure about 8 or 9 years ago these were a feature in the 'Practical Farm Ideas' magazine, detailing how they were built and why they were built, not sure if I still have it or if it got binned in the house move last year though \ It certainly made an interesting read at the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Go have a look then Gav, I'm intrigued by it as I can see a lot of sense in what they have done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 How can that be efficient... imagine the fuel that setup must use Strange system really... go on Gavvers... get in that loft... we want chapter and verse please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 I'm thinking like this; 1 driver instead of 3 1 tractor instead of 3 The donkey engines may use a lot of fuel but I'm guessing they will be using less than a tractor as they only need to power up the PTO and not propel themselves as the main tractor is doing all the work. If he is short of staff to do the work or funds to buy bigger machinery and tractors then this looks like a logical solution to me. I bet someone with basic engineering skills could cobble one together out of used parts and machinery for ?3k or so, a third the cost of a cheap tractor.
