On the 3pl could you not just shorten the top link?

Do you mean to clear the tyres on the fendt (doesnt) or to asssit penetration? Topo link sets the machine level so that front and rear coulters work at same depth so wouldnt work.

update - have ground out an arch in the back of the coulter outlets as described above and virtually eliminated blocking now although the ground conditions have also significantly improved.
Cannot get over to you just how much £30 worth of wedges has totally transformed this machine! DD'd some spring barley into failed WW headlands yesterday and could have buried it out of site. Last autumn I was considering adding loads of weights to get it to drill stubble turnips into loose stubble at half an inch! Much more about the angle of the tine than the weight of the drill. I am now getting consistent drilling depths across the width of the machine - changes in ground conditions (hard/soft) make much less difference (except it now goes into the hard ground) and undulating ground is far less of an issue. Majority of this is done with the drill on the 3PL which I much prefer - have to use drawbar on Fendt as the arms are shorter and drill hits the wheels on 3PL.
Fields are also looking a lot neater now we have bout markers rather than guessing the driving width
Looking for similar wedges for my simtech conversion. Did you buy them from somewhere or make them yourself? Do you have any photos?

Hi,
Ill get the dimensions for you - and a photo. Local engineer just cut them off some stock bar.

What are the wedges doing for you ??? Altering the entry angle off the t boot ?? Deeper slot ?
Are you setting the drill to run the discs 25mm below desired tine / boot depth??
