nashmach Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Rolling, some sowing left to do, fertilizer spreading and cattle to sell and buy also some straw starting to move Combine to bring home with my friend too ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james f Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 You may as well stay at home as roll ground too fast, sure you'd only be hitting the ground in spots!!! The roller needs to be given time to press down all the humps and stones. I tend to roll in 6th gear with the Ford 7600 or 6610 at about 1500 rpm, not sure what speed that is but not as fast as 10mph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No its the Deutz 3580 alright John ;D :-X Similar to James - I roll in 6th with the 3600 same gear as spreading fertiliser and spraying Tad on the cold and frosty side for spraying John but sure not much you can do about that :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
