Be interested to see before & after photosBig modifications about to be done to ours by JD to sort the issue with the 6m folding
They are certainly not doing the bare minimum, kit comprises if new rams and a heap of parts / fabrication !
Is it a mod really only necessary for the 6m drills as the 4m ones have less weight on the wings?Big modifications about to be done to ours by JD to sort the issue with the 6m folding

look on the internet. Prices are variening much. friend got now 2nd time a Hypro pump in US for less then 50% of local offer.After a lot of deliberation I went for hypro centrifugal pump. Very happy with it.
What sort of weight could a 4m frame handle? Thinking of mounting a granular fert tank behind the main grain tank. Idealy we would like 1.5t seed and 1.5t fert. But that might not be resonable.
Do you think there could be balance problems with the fert tank mounted behind the seed thank? Aimng for 1t of fert for now.
@Simon Chiles @Clive how do you get the shaft out?I think I'd shave a bit more off the end of the shaft and then fit thicker and harder shims rather than trying to build up the shaft, you'd have to remove the shaft whichever option you chose.

you obviously press it out from the 'square' end. is it best to round off burrs before pressing and how much force does it need? I have a lot of coulters that I cant change the depth on because this shaft is seized.It’s best to take the whole coulter assembly off. Take off the seed tube, take out the pin holding the spring and remove the bolt holding the main pivot pin in place, remove pivot pin making a note on which side the thrust washer goes and drive out the pivot pin. Roll the whole coulter out on the disc and then press the gauge wheel shaft out. Do not attempt to hit it out with a hammer or try to punch it out either in situ or even once you’ve removed the coulter as the gauge wheel shaft burrs easily and you’ll end up cutting the end off and pressing it out anyway.

can move them between two positions with a large spanner on the gauge wheel square mounting plate. shallow for osr and deeper for wheat/beans.They soon pop out on a press, be well worth your effort in my opinion if you cannot change depth,(how do you manage not changing depth)?
Lots of my are quite seized, drill only 3 seasons old. Wondering if I’m over greasingcan move them between two positions with a large spanner on the gauge wheel square mounting plate. shallow for osr and deeper for wheat/beans.
