Finished . Drilling tomorrow

 

[Case290]

Still leaving ridge run out of time / day light going to need adjusting downward pressure and move harrows so there not in Line

 

[Case290]

New altered Harrow tines run on top of the ridge, almost level now .couldn’t put any amount t of Down pressure on as there was loads of trash. one more cut and shutt to the Harrow and it will be perfect. One extra Harrow tine out side the drill width And lengthen the the main frame so it dosnt catch the frame when folding.

Here we go again now my nice Harrow is cutting up and it’s a proper bodj job now but hope this time is the last time.

 

[Case290]

Think that’s it. A-just pressure & angle to suit . now I’ve got the blue print the next one will be easy . Lol

Nice project [emoji106] What cad software did you use to draw it?

 

[Case290]

The parts were drawn by a friend he uses solid works.

 

[Case290]

Added a pressure spring. Bit of a rush job but works Nicely.

Seed pipes Keep blocking drilling beans on the y piece so air bleeds to the rescue. Hope that fixes it . How fast should we be drilling beans with a claydon 8kph ? Seams a bit steady hope with the air bleeds on to get on a bit quicker 10kph would be nice.

Keep the fan speed at maximum. Have sown spring beans at 12 kph with variable rate as long as the metering unit could keep up. 8-10 kph better with less blockages. What sized seed pipes do you have? Mine are 25mm only. Most other makes use 32mm.

Always used to sow beans with all 15 coulters sowing on a 4.8m , would drill at 10K on average at 5" deep and 10mm holes drilled in back of coulters to allow breathing to take place. New rubber diffusers would be even better! I used to like the V set up as less influenced by soil throw compared to the SR/Hybrid.
As Brisel says ,keep fan speed up.
