Discordon Packer

[Chickcatcher]

Anyone changed the Packer from EMO to alternative on a Discordon or even got a a reasonable condition packer that 's for sale to fit a 7 leg Discordon.
Could even have one for sale?

I have a 600mm original packer for sale. The rings were replaced 5yrs ago I believe and are 70% good I would say. Bearings all in good order

who would want a discordon ? or dosnt my neighbor set it up right? our sumo = chalk and cheese!

 

[Chickcatcher]

Well I have got one, more a matter of cost when I bought it with only a pocket handkerchief to farm and too old to do it all with a spade.
What would a 4 Mtr Sumo cost any ideas? Perhaps I should be looking in that direction now.
I know they were massively more expensive when I bought the Discordon 4/5 years ago, as nobody wanted them even then.

paid £12500 for 3m trailed 2 yrs ago in vgc.

We’ve converted a few to our PRR-710 packers but they are not a cheap fix. Leaves the ground more weather proof and improves soil flow but if you are happy with the Emo Packer then trying to find a used one is a good idea as the replacement rings are very expensive for what they are…watch this space.

Well Dash my camera, YOU HAVE GOT THE SAME EXTENSION LEAD AS ME. What sort of cost would PPR-710 be for a 7 leg set at 50cm but said to be 4.2Mtr?

And you are very clever for it . I bought a second hand one two years ago and we do about 1500 acres a year with it and it’s brilliant for us. We looked at Sumo’s and decided they were far too big and heavy.

Ball park is £1,600/m for the PRR-710 ready to bolt on with scrapers and fully sealed bearings

Thanks for that @Agricast I am looking as I have been sorted by TFF member, if not I will be in touch.

@Agricast is the discordon in the picture a 4.2mmachine?

 

[Agricast]

This packer was about 4.5m wide with 10 rings per side, I think it was a 4.2m machine but can’t be sure.

Have you still got a packer for sale for the 4.2m Discordon?
