The end tow kit is fine and by the time you have strapped to a trailer probably no quickerQuick solution , cut all that sh!t off and stick it on a trailer
Agreed but it's affecting the performance of the drill .The end tow kit is fine and by the time you have strapped to a trailer probably no quicker
Yup, it sure is! Glad someone found joy in the situation, it’s all learning for next yearSorry that made me chuckle, that drawbar is heavy enough when trying to balance horizontal and get the main pin in without physically holding it all up as well.
The advantage of using a trailer is you can fill up the drill at the yard.The end tow kit is fine and by the time you have strapped to a trailer probably no quicker
Mauling wheat in went out with the Ark hereI have come to the conclusion if its too wet for the Moore its too wet for the MF30 as well. We did drill some heavy stuff with the 30 last November. Went in alright but ran together and sealed over and rotted. Get on in good time is best way.
I'll have a look at that. We ran an MF30 for years with no Reekie harrow (Dad gas axed it off in a rage) . It just had zigzags and it worked fine, except you couldn't reverse is and they were a pain to fit on and off. . Bought an MF30 for the wet autumns a couple of years ago and I am trying to keep it original by trying to make the Reekie harrow work for us so thanks for that. I am modifying the preem markers to stick them a bit further out the back so that they too don't block the harrow when dropped. Will get there eventually.You have too many tines in the Reekie harrow.
You only need one between each coulter on the rear set, and when finished drilling headland detach the lifting rods and let the harrow drag to remove wheelings when turning.

I presume you know there are two small hinged metal plates, which can be turned upright to lock the harrow from dropping when lowering the Coulters?I'll have a look at that.

Yes I've learned it's generally a waste of time especially if heavy rain follows which it usually does.Mauling wheat in went out with the Ark here
Yes, I've seen those but what use are they? I need to stop the harrow from lifting when I swirl round on the headland. Looks like a spanners job or a design mod needed.I presume you know there are two small hinged metal plates, which can be turned upright to lock the harrow from dropping when lowering the drill?
Ours is fine on heavier land. The trash gets rumbled through by the action of the clods springing the tines about. But you get to some sand and the tines don't spring about. They act like a rake and you only need a tree root or something to block them. Then its lift out, loop the loop, clear the trash out the way and set in again. Only usually happens on outside round but its aggravating. The Moore would run over a dead sheep without even noticing.My harrow is fine .
Are there for holding the harrow up if you decide not to use it, you don't have to take it off!Yes, I've seen those but what use are they? I need to stop the harrow from lifting when I swirl round on the headland. Looks like a spanners job or a design mod needed.
Just detach the lifting rodsYes, I've seen those but what use are they? I need to stop the harrow from lifting when I swirl round on the headland. Looks like a spanners job or a design mod needed.

It’s done more to convince me to buy a Moore than anything else I’ve heard, though I suspect my vad would have a good go….That sounds like the voice of experience!
