We have a 6m Kvernland it is a closer row space than most plus the disc coulter also has a depth wheel that is a lot of weight hanging out the back . Yes we have a front hopper but a T7 270 was way to light now it’s on a T7315HD with a bumper weight and you definitely need that degree of weight with it . Hp seems about right.

I can't remember, I actually drove one of those New Hollands for a bit and I really liked it. I can't remember if they also had a Cat engine or not?

Lemken version always looks a bit too complicated to my uneducated eyes?

They had a 7.5litre power star engine built in Basildon. The Cat Crawlers and the NH70 series were both built in the Versatile Factory in Winnipeg, Manitoba with Funk ( now owned by JD) gear boxes.

Cat 35/45 had a 6.6 litre Cat motor and the 55 had a 7.2 litre Cat.
Production possibly moved to Minnesota after Agco bought them but not certain.
Does tyre size affect the rating the axles, wheel bearings, castings, linkages etc can handle?

Yeah, sorry was just meaning the fords with the Basildon engine. I think CAT completely designed the 765 themselves before Agco bought the design. Don’t know where they were built before AGCO started making them at the old MM factory site.

A 9500kg rear linkage does not mean you can hang 9500kg on the back end. It’s so it can lift a plough of 2000kg that’s stuck out 4 meters. Which make of tractors alter their total gross weight depending on tyre size. ?

Possibly Dekalb, Illinois after Winnipeg, then Jackson, Minnesota.
They’d have probably been better off using the 7.5 in the Cats too, peach of an engine.

So why did you mention it when discussing axle rating?

First day on this drill with the 8RX , Heaviest tractor we have ever had on our 6m Combi but by far the lowest ground pressure .

You reckon it’s lower than your old crawler?? I bet you have more footprint but a hell of a lot more weight(?)

I think full of seed it’s getting on for 30 ton but we don’t have to have the track eradicaters any where near as deep to take out the wheelings (trackings ) as we did with the old tractor and that had a serious amount of rubber .
