Checked the acre/hectare monitor today and it’s done 730 of whatever unit it measures. Presumable hectares but I’m not certain on that. I know it’s little used.

All worked last time we used it. Will be perfectly honest and say that it hasn’t been used in some time, the rate changing slide wheel is a bit stiff but we mainly used it for drilling beans so was set at its widest. On the odd occasion we used it for cereals we managed to get it shut up enough. Think the slides need a bit of attention to get them sliding as freely as new again. The only issue we had when drilling beans was that it would kink the pipes up a bit when in work and bung them up at odd times. This issue didn’t happen with smaller cereal seeds. The reason for sale is that we bought a KV TS Eve drill to do beans and cereals in a wet time so the Carrier became surplus to requirements. We are right in the middle of Lincolnshire, in the middle of a triangle between Louth, Horncastle and Market Rasen.

Rainthorpe’s must cover your area pretty well and go south a lot?

Hi Chris, just had chance to measure up.

The drill is...

4.7m long without the towing arm
5.8m long with the towing arm but it’s very easily removable
2.2m wide
1.95m to its highest point which is the marker disc

Hope this helps.

All the best,

Andrew.
