I have been offered a 1998 6.0 m folding Moore disc Unidrill that looks in fair order. It has accord hopper and hydraulic fan. Has anyone any experience with this set up. The only thing I can see looking at it is that it might need some weight carrying brackets added to get good penetration? We have been dd for 4 years with a tine Claydon but think a disc would bring less stones up , no doubt some years tines will still be better but this would be a cheap entry to try it out.

Is that the model without a press wheel in front on the discs?
My experience of the 3m box unidrill is they can benefit from a bit more weight at times, but the main cause of a lack of penetration at times is putting the 18" discs, for a heavier tandem unidrills, on a drill designed for 16" discs.
I made that mistake when I got mine and found it much better once the discs had with down to about 16"

i used moore drills
the wear on the coulters needs to be watched ceramic ones very good
bearing straight forward to replace
I also found that not going too fast saved bearings and coulters especially in dry conditions

No experience with the big ones but the old moores had plenty penetration by means of a hydraulic drawbar. Discs and coulter wear main issue as are expensive as are disc bearings and there are alot of them.

We drill between about 8-10k
Well it is being delivered next week hopefully ........ few jobs to do on it, but I never seem to buy anything that doesn't need fettling.
