Fendt 724, heavy rear mounted implement.

Are you going to run your one in auto drive baling so the forward speeds is controlled by the pto speed ?

Pto speed controls the forward speed???

That doesn't sound complicated....

..... That sounds dangerous

Probably not!

Does the auto mode see a wet lump of straw!

I just normally drive our old square baler on flakes per bale. Hp not limiting factor.

NH vario is similar set target speed set how low you want PTO speed to drop before tractor slows down I use it all the time when drilling . All clever stuff and the computer is far better at keeping the tractor going at peak performance than the driver could be.

chae will use auto steer on it much ?

Yeah for all field work.

Same on mf
Set supervisor droop and set cruise control

What about an accelerometer setting? Often the limiting factor when I'm drilling is the tough bits being too hard on the back (and kicking out the autosteer). Usually coincides with power demand, but grunt often isn't the limiting factor.

I could sell you a great weight box with two very heavy blocks railway line , have no weight half weight or whole weight i think it goes near 2.5 ton , painted colour of your choice , gas rams on lid lifting eyes on weights , very well made £2.8k

Now that looks very smart.

Sounds like a polite term for something some men suffer with & can take tablets to overcome.

Ah, engine droop......

Does calling it 'auto mode' mean on fendt it's a high priced optional extra?

It works very well baling

most on here wouldnt even entertain the door open for AC

This part of the thread reminds me of my time in Blewbury in Oxfordshire as a student, hell 35 years ago! Was given the job of ploughing with a Ford 7610, column shift, mercifully H pattern, not spider, plus a four furrow Dowdeswell, one of three they used to use. No aircon, doors wedged open, back window wide open, used to go home with half the field on me as well as a change of race! Next door, University of Reading were ploughing with a JD 4750/55? with a 7 furrow semi mounted, used to have a massive headland, to do a loop turn, plough out, up through the gears, turn, down through the gears, plough in. Looked mightily impressive at the time, but fields there averaged 80 acres.

So pleased with the fendt so far ?

Yeah, been fitting side pipes on it for 1 pass today.

Hopefully be able to use same brackets for pipes to sprayer front tank.

Looking well all fitted up, unless the weather improves dramatically you'll not get out in the fields for a bit. Can I pick your brain as I'm in the hunt for collar's like you have for going onto the side pipes (like konskilde 140mm) but struggling to find. Mine on my DF2 are falling to bit on my fert side.
Any help gratefully appreciate

Buy.flexiseals from bq or other plumbers department been using them for years lots of different sizes.

 

[alomy75]

This wouldn't be happening if you learned to use draft control properly...

Buy a semi-mounted plough. If that won't work buy a bigger farm. That's what 4000 hours of farming simulator taught me.

I know you’re joking but I completely agree. Any more than 5 furrows shouldn’t be fully mounted imo. All that weight up front just illustrates how much strain is going through that top link pin. I know 2 neighbours who have ended up ploughing the tarmac…

I got them from Tim Smith, Amazon dealer from down south there 125mm with 45 degree angle. Reduces friction on pipe a bit deflecting it with them.

Thanks there, I never thought of using flexiseals so will look into it .

Thanks, Are your Flexi pipes 125mm mine are 140mm.bought the drill 2nd hand and the previous owner must of used old konskilde grain blast fittings, mine are 30 degree and fairly helps with blowing round and along the side pipes.
