@ollie989898 if your Minehead way , then get in touch and have a look !
They're a seriously productive machine, doubt I'll ever use it to full capacity, but its nice to be on top of the job, especially when your working on your own.

All the NHs and Deutz gone?
I’m afraid so, Tm went a couple of years ago when we bought the first 4220, Deutz went at Christmas to a tree surgeon for a timber trailer. Still have my baby though buts it’s still far from ready 😂.

It is indeed a 6640 and I just added the turbo to it yesterday 💪🏻. Bought new by granda when I was still at school and our first 4wd, it was traded in at 4/5 years old and I bought it back a year or so ago from the fencer who had it on a post knocker for 20 years. Rear axles were shot blasted and painted as they were pretty rusty I’d guess from road salt.

I'm nowhere near Minehead unfortunately. I could probably do a trip around Easter but depends on my holiday workload. I can use a hammer okish.(y)

I do like a lemken but very dubious as the 2 that neighbours had didn't like the stone content in our land . So sticking with kuhn .

If it was good going but stony putting the rotors into low gear seemed to help let stones through, when in fast gear and stoney going they can rake the stones to the end worse then a kuhn/amazon.

Did you deal with Scot Agri for the Fastracs?

Thought Mark would have you into red ones!

Yeah we did that on demo. Doesn't help much when you're chewing through clay at one end then a sandy quarry at the other tho.

There were 2 around us a 6m snd a 4m and both needed a lot of attention in the power Harrow trough/ rotor seals etc so kinda puts us off . Although we both know of the 6m that's done a lot of work fair enough on it's second ph but also not in the stones I am

We've done a lot of acres with lemken power harrows and only changed one bearing in the trough, plastic damaged the seal and bearing.

Hopefully the sulky goes as well.
