    Manual for Connor Shea Disc seeder

    Upgraded first to an old Duncan Ag 740 triple disc, then more recently have upgraded again to a Duncan DD30. Full electric drive. obviously the newer drills are well ahead with Air and metering, but there was nothing wrong with the Connor Shea, apart from it being old. But definitely get what...

    Manual for Connor Shea Disc seeder

    No, I never found a manual. mine didn’t stay with me for long. pretty basic, good machine, but definitely know they were built in the 70’s!

    Vicon Varispreader

    Best bet is to mix it with some fert/ another larger granule, spread at the application rate of the fert and your turnips will be mixed in. Just drive close, and drive round and round. I’ve never done it but have heard of it being done, seems as it would work fine?

    Kidd Flex Wing topper.

    We ended up purchasing a kv 3.6 m centre pivot disc mower. came down to quality of cut in the end, and I don’t think we would have quite got what we wanted with the Kidd, even though wide working width would of been a bonus!

    Tractor front loader bucket

    I have had 2 meter john Deere buckets on a 6320, 6430 and now a 6120m. they handle them ok, but know about it with a bucket full of stone, pushes 1500kg then the weight of the bucket, so probably 17-1800kg all up. Doesn’t do much of that thou. But it can. Rears have some water in them, but no...

    transporting a 1.5 T digger

    Pickup truck Your best bet would be to get a trailer for your digger, then your van will have no trouble. And trailer will come in handy for other jobs.

    transporting a 1.5 T digger

    I would say it has a load capacity of 3500kg, towable on the ball. I don’t think it would handle a 1.5 ton digger with buckets etc but I could be wrong. Never heard of one. Are they a van cut into a ute?

    Duncan DD30 Fan speed increasing when drill raises and lowers

    I think the play is coming from bearing being loose in the housing, but then again can’t be sure,could also be coming from where the assembly bolts onto the frame. I will take some photos to get a better idea

    Duncan DD30 Fan speed increasing when drill raises and lowers

    Yes, they are slightly. You can’t replace them without replacing the whole unit, which would be $. Some sort of shim/spacer may help, but then it would affect seeding won’t it? I’m not sure.also it’s only 2 years old, with 600 ha, so wouldn’t have thought they would be super worn. but I’ll have...

    Duncan DD30 Fan speed increasing when drill raises and lowers

    They are new, genuine Duncan bearings. Bit weird really. As I thought it would take up the slack.

    Duncan DD30 Fan speed increasing when drill raises and lowers

    I may aswell post in here, but I have sorted the problem with fan speed. Ended up getting a 450 series valve. i am currently replacing some disc bearings, and was just wondering whether a small amount (2-3mm max) of play in discs is normal, after bearing replacement? And if it isn’t, possibly...

    Duncan DD30 Fan speed increasing when drill raises and lowers

    Flow isn’t the problem, it is pump pressure. The only way to control pressure is to get a new valve, apparently

    Duncan DD30 Fan speed increasing when drill raises and lowers

    Is that like a flow control valve? My tractor has that at the spools, unless it’s something else. I have spoken to dealer, they say I need a 450 series valve. They are 3k nzd 😳
