I am surprised that these issues are occurring. I chose this drill because it was meant to be a tried and tested design! When these tabs break are you able to carry on drilling, or do you have to go back to the workshop to do some welding? Don't fancy traipsing back and forth from farm to field every time one breaks. Have just found out today that two of the four wheels are off at an angle due to some frame geometry problems...

Ive been pretty surprised too. Most stuff has now been resolved, but will post an update when we've actually used is properly.

Just a quick note - we have had one of our rear wheel rims replaced as it was welded out of true. It looked like the axle or frame was bent, but fortunately it was just the rim.....id get them to swap the rims around before you go to town on the frame. (I was sure it was the frame/axle too)! There are 2 types weights of wheel BTW, the 6m takes the "13" weight wheel, and the smaller ones "10" weight, I believe. (They sent the wrong one originally).

Good luck,

Tim

Mine have started to break today. Only 500acres from new on a 4m!

Tim,
as far as I can see it it's better to even have on the 4m the heavy duty tires. Quite a number change the tires to heavy duty tires with stronger rims as well.

I've used the green double tines that Claydon use. The double tines are about 16cm apart so 1 tine can do 2 slots. They aren't exactly 16.6cm but close enough !

Was just thinking that this afternoon without a tape measure to hand. Thanks!

I had one milled to make a 'gutler' looks good and is nice and heavy - not sure its economic though as it takes a fair bit of machine time

Like this?

I used these on my Horsch, 10mm thick ones are good tines.

yes

not economic thought, buying gutlers is cheaper even if they do need weights adding (but they are cheap enough to make )

Mine were cheaper than buying Guttlers
