[QUOTE="Gbrook, post: 7126127, member: 46356"] Very impressed with your tine wear. I fitted a set of Bourgault VOS on my CO4 350ha ago and have lost 3 feet in my last 3 days drilling. I haven't found the feet yet so I can't be certain, but I suspect that they are breaking off due to heavy wear above the front toe, as I see small holes in the metal on some of them. My 350ha with 16 coulters is 22ha/coulter, compared to your 1600ha with 24 coulters and 66ha/coulter. Below are pictures of the wear on mine. I am direct drilling into kind, light soil. After losing the first 2 feet I took out the Allen studs and re-Loctited them, then promptly lost another foot on the next outing, so I don't think this is the cause. Excessive wear at the front and very little wear at the back makes me wonder if they are raked back too far in work. I've got the older, vertical breakaway springs with new flipper plates and pins. The nuts are wound down to show about 75mm of thread vs the 40mm recommended but may need to be squeezed even further. I mounted the legs in the upper pair of holes as I found it hard to get depth in the others. Looking at the offset of the other holes I'm wondering if this is some of my problem. Any experince[ATTACH type="full"]906147[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]906148[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]906163[/ATTACH] or comments would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
