Light Land Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 Kv DA100 12 furrow conv plough. Rolling behind the plough. Quote
Light Land Posted April 12, 2008 Author Posted April 12, 2008 The paddock was rye grass seed and has had FYM disced in before ploughing. Grubbing with a 55 tine nz made "Dunhill" grubber.Dunhill made ploughs and grubbers in the south island but are no longer.A feature of the dunhill kit was there fully welded frames would crack after a while because there was no give in any thing.

Light Land Posted April 12, 2008 Author Posted April 12, 2008 I like these tynes,they make a nice job. Quote
Kiwi6920 Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 Cor thats what you call a plough ol, 3 runs and each of my paddocks would be done Quote
Kiwi6920 Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 I love your pics ol ;) That cultivator is what you need to build for you big pivot jez ;D Quote
Deere-est Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 So that's where our seagulls go when noones ploughing!! Great pics buddy, that is some plough. What year is it and how big is the field Ol? Them grubbers look damn heavy too! Quote
Light Land Posted April 12, 2008 Author Posted April 12, 2008 It's about 9 years old that plough and one of only 2 DA 100's in NZ I'm told. It a hand full for that tractor to pull even when rolling over 16inch furrows on light land. Most paddocks on the farm are 60ha tris. Quote
Deere-est Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 Ah I see, quite a novelty to own and use her I'd have thought then. Good size of paddocks to be working in aswell, you need that!! Quote
Light Land Posted April 12, 2008 Author Posted April 12, 2008 To say that plough is a b!tch on the headlands is an understatement. Quote
Kris Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 Great pics ol. NO chance of seeing a plough of that size around here. Quote
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 Cracking pics Ol, is that a New Holland TVT your driving? That plough is a beast! How deep do you plough? Not very deep I should of thought? Quote
allis8550 Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 60 ha's, a paddock ?, that's bigger than some of the farms in this area. Quote
nashmach Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 Some plough there ol - I suppose you would plough a good 40ha a day with it - by the way do ye plough one way or set up middles Quote
Light Land Posted May 3, 2008 Author Posted May 3, 2008 Cracking pics Ol, is that a New Holland TVT your driving? That plough is a beast! How deep do you plough? Not very deep I should of thought? Yer it's the tvt Luke,avg ploughing depth is 8inch. Quote
