6 furrow Plough

[Hfd Cattle]

Will a 6 furrow Plough be too big for my 6630 ?
No steep hill ploughing ,no deep ploughing . Currently use a 5 furrow, which is about worn out , but been offered a 6 , about 100 acres a yr .

Will your tractor be fit to lift it?

A 6810 will pull a 6 furrow mounted , not on really heavy ground though and it also depends on the plough , what make ?
Whats a 6630 specs wise ?

If semi mounted, would be sore on lift if mounted.

I do 95% winter ploughing, but always find limiting factor is wheel grip. My tractor would easily pull 7-8f but don't think lift would cope. Seen people go to 6f and rip stabiliser arms out of castings on backend causing expensive damage.

 

[Bury the Trash]

Yes it will in good going, just looked up the data,
He will pull and handle an 6 overum semi mount wheel on the road weight on the front added to make the tractor weight about 6t

And Bob's yer beano,

Well assuming you know how to set him up, like not have the skims to deep ........

New boards on your 5 furrow may be cheaper and wiser

 

[Bury the Trash]

Wheres the fun in that ......


Just to add, a shearbolt one, manually adjustable mind as anything else will be too heavy.
Which apart from, the obvious lifting, is also harder to pull as weight adds to draft requirement.dont forget.


Happy days .

I don’t think a 6630 will handle it, especially if you have some hills. We run a 6 furrow KV on a 6215R and wouldn’t want it on a smaller frame tractor.

he says no steep hills.
As above a 6810 will pull an overum 6 furrow plough, so is a 6630 less able then?

Actually Most likely , it's down to the operator .

If it’s a good buy can you not drop a section off make it a 5?

 

[Gedd]

He didn't say reversible maybe he wants a conventional 6 furrow

 

[Sandy]

I’ve pulled our semi mounted 7 with our Massey 6480 before plenty power just wheel grip but if it’s dry no problem

 

[Boohoo]

72hp used to be enough for 6 furrows...

 

[johndeere6140r]

6140R pulls a 6f Dowdeswell DP8E fully mounted no trouble on some fairly steep ground, just got to be carefully turning the plough over on a slope. so 6630 should be fine on flat ground.

Just stick with a 5 whats the point in struggling with a 6 only going to wear out your cross shaft

Make of plough and is it auto reset or shear bolt ? For only 100 acres a year you'll certainly can pick and choose when you use it . I've had my 5 furrow long clearance auto reset kv on my 6430 before so the same backend as a 6630 and it's very much on its limits of lifting it but a shear bolt will be a fair chunk lighter .

This. We're swapping our 4f reversible for a 5f or 6f conventional since we don't really need the reversible. ?‍ Will be doing about 150ac/year.

Hi all thanks for replies ..@Lofty1984 has more or less made my mind up ..... buy the 6 furrow and drop off the last one if I struggle . The plough is cerainly worth buying . ...it's a dowdeswell ....nothing fancy but will do what I want it to .

 

[nick...]

Yes you will pull it but you will destroy the linkage on the tractor with the weight.dunno of 6630 has the 64 backend but earlier models did

I have a 5F KV auto reset and my JD6630 will not handle it at all. Struggles to boss it in the yard on concrete
I guess it depends on the plough but no way I can see a 6630 handling a 6F unless you have some serious weight a long way out on the front. Think it might be sensible to match it with a tractor with a bigger/stronger back end.
