farmernick06 Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 Do you know what broke? im looking at buying one in the near future so im intrested in any info that people can give me on these I think the back roller and whatevers before that got jammed, you could hear the motor start but a jamming sound. I think it was that but it looks a hell of a good machine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi6920 Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 They are worth NZD $ 70,000 Not cheap for one implament, but when you add up buying all the cultivation gear its cheap, they say you only need 100hp to run it but you need a 160hp range tractor to lift it I plan on using a 140hp ( spannred) JD4240 witch can lift around 7ton on mine, im waiting on one to come down for a demo and check out how the 42 handles it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmernick06 Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 No tractors Nick for sale Im not quite sure whats happened with those mate, the last time i saw them they were all in the machinery shed all together so they are probably being stored in there for the time being, presuming they're being sold. A great shame as they had a few nice pieces in there \ Thanks Ben, yeah it is .. end of an era really But times change, thats life. And i did actually get you them! ...

farmernick06 Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 do you think they will have any self propeled sprayers there This is a real beauty, a Knight self propelled sprayer. Last i saw of it was in the machinery shed along with the tractors. So again im not sure whats happening with it. They also have an older bateman, again a nice little beauty and that was working just the other day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you from Kent to? Not sure when the sale is, really want to go if it is a sale.

JC Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Thanks for the pics Nick, I'd hazzard a guess that the reason all the kit has been laid out like that is because it is going to be auctioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
