Converting 750a from 3m to 4m

[Andy Howard]

Is there any technical reasons why you would not be able to do the above?

Sounds a hassle - spare parts don't come cheap - unless you mean going to wider rows? Also you need some good engineering to get downpressure on the wings I expect.

Sell yours for £12k and buy Clives for a bit more?

I'm tempted to sell mine and upgrade to an air drill so maybe we should have a merry go round?

I was wandering about converting Clive's 4m to a 3 m drill. Lot cheaper than new and plenty of spares but it seems a bit sacrilegious. Maybe Will should drop his box drill at mine on the way to Clive's to pick up Andy's who gets a return load and takes Clive's 4 m back to Kent. Just need to find a buyer for my Kuhn SD near Clive's and it's logistically perfect.

why make it smaller have 4m and alter your sprayer it will be a whole lot easyer I would have thought

Anyone wanting mine best be quick - I have a fair bit of serious intrest so suspect it will sell this week !

No reason at all a 4m couldn't be run as a 3m as far as I know, just unbolt the wings

now, I don't know why I should ever cut down a 4 m drill to 3 m? It's 25% less drilling, tighter turning, ok all have now RTK on their tractors anyway.
Also, why be bothered about tramlines? I don't know of a single No Till farmer over here which drills with tramlines. As drilling direction is altered almost every drilling and tramlines stay in place. So who cares if a drill matches the tramline outline?
Clive, I would not sell the drill tooo quick as prices will increase. As demand is outperforming supply. Also this drill is worth a fair bit of TFF bonus on top of it.

What are you having instead

What are you having instead

A new wider one probably

They are certainly a safe place to park capital ! But it has to go as I need more capacity in the future, a 6m will probably replace it

HAS SOMEONE GOT A JD BOX DRILL THEY WANT TO SELL?
