Thanks Flatlander, we are running spoked depth wheels on nearly all the units now, we have a crate of spares already from Excel, we are going to re disc and boot every unit. I totally agree with you how important it is to have minimal play in the boot to get a nice establishment. Will try get...

They are great cart

Yes mate they are very similar to a JD unit, Excel (Excel are Aussie drill builders) these ones are branded but I'm pretty sure there are made by Ingersoll in south america. No weight hasnt been a drama for any soil conditions we have encountered.

Gday All, We love seeing what other people are building and putting together so I thought I'd share one of our most recent builds for other like minded people and return the favour! Background story; We have been using a 3m disc box seeder for years, we needed to improve efficiency in this...

Where are you located mate?

I couldn't tell you sorry, we have only ran at 50mm maximum, not familiar with how deep is required for beans?

We used the 45 x12mm, you can also get a 'helper' for those Bareco tynes that will give you a higher break out again. Yeah setup runs well, that point Taege run is well designed, we mainly use that drill when conditions become to sticky for our disc machine, most of the drilling has been into...

I used the same Taege clamp on boots and points you are talking about on some Bareco 'S Tines ' a few years ago, the reason I liked them was that I need more ground clearance so I was able to cut 3 inches of the bottom of the tine. They are a great point and boot setup and the the points are...

Gday Mark yes I have used the small seed rollers for lucerne, rye grass and millet, I am fortunate engough to have got my hands on a full set of rollers with the shafts and bearing housings so changing over is very quick and easy. However I found seeding rate accuracy to be pretty poor as the...

Hey mate Alan King in Griffith NSW 0269626219 he makes the rollers, he also does the small seeds (plain) roller as well. I think he said he also makes the black rubber suspension blocks that look like a footy too, the rollers were about $80 each. Send us a message if you need any other parts...

The above gives you kg/ha

My Bettinson is capture the seed from 4x outlets, crank the handle 15 revs and then multiply mass by 69. I purchased my drill second-hand also which didn't come with the small seed plates, we made some out of plastic cattle ear tags.

Hopefully the pic works, it is of the Tatu openers I put on my bettinson. You may notice my drill has been painted red prior to it ending up in my hands

Gday mate, I'm currently running one over in Aus, and getting great results from it. Mine is the earlier of the triple disc machines. We use it for direct drilling cereals as well as small seeds such as Lucerne and clovers. I have made a lot of mods and improvements to it and I'm currently...

Thanks for that mate, nice work on the drill too.

Gday mate, what did you use to hold the weights on just some inch rod welded onto the frame?

Not sure of what model hilux you have but this below works for my 2006mdl 3.0ltr SR. You can find the below on an Aussie website newhilux.net Not that I'm against wearing a seat belt but there are times when you don't want it on. And those times you're normaly stressing about being bogged up...

Thanks for that guys, played around with it today and have just left it set to number 1. I ended up welding up some depth wheels for the chisel plough to also help prevent it bogging down. I'm a bit suprised by how weak the downward force is on this 6630.

G'day All, we have a new to us John Deere 6630 and are currently trying to chisel plough some land with a 3 point linkage implement. What draft control setting should I use if I just want the plough to stay at the same height and not move either up on down, it is currently bogging all the way...
