Fendt 724, heavy rear mounted implement.

[Speedstar]

Top links in bottom hole. Think there's another 2 spare holes above.

Lift arms wound right up.

Would shifting either of these make much difference?

It's got great lift capacity, throws plough up on tick over. New Holland would only lift it if top link in top hole. John Deere wouldn't.

I don't really want to fit any additional weights on back of stone graip because of balance. Don't want it tipping over and landing on someone.

on the KV if you can move the cross shaft in to the back hole & move plough closer to the tractor will help as well

What ever you do on the linkage isn't going to make the plough lighter, but we've had some short term solutions of water full front tyred.

Top link as low as you can on the tractor, & as high as you can on the plough will throw the tail up & in.

There’s a lad on a farm near Newcastle I got some parts off he was making proper front weight blocks to fit on front linkages for this purpose. They were tidy things fairly wide he was showing me them

First important thing is to accept your mistake. Put the fendt on feeder waggon where it belongs and get a proper tractor.

Or get grinder out and cut back furrow off.

He has a New Holland in bits

Could buy another, take all the weights off that one and it fits loader tractor or front linkage, so can take off stones when rolling and ripping up ends.

Rather keep it as light as possible for rolling to minimise compaction.

There's lads down here running a 6f and pacomat I might can find out what they're running on their's .

I'm counting up roughly 1400kgs of wafer weights and 300kgs graip at a guess ?

How to wreck a tractor fast. Fendt 700's are for silage work, rolling, baling, drilling and pulling trailers. They are far too short and light for draft work.

Your options? buy a tractor with the stature required for the plough you have, or buy a 7f semi mounted plough. 6f is too big to hang off the back anyway.

 

[Bobthebuilder]

Cut end caps off on stone graip and fill with concrete, swap ploo for a semi mounted

 

[YELROM]

could you add something like this between the linkage and stone fork when you need extra weight

 

[Iben]

I have the same plough, packomat rings are currently worn and at least half of them are full of soil. MF handles it no problem with 1500kg on front.

 

[Boysground]

i have about 1500kg on the front of mine, 6furrow kv not a problem but not auto reset. Also have a 3 ton fully mounted cultivator

That’s a 724 and it’s got one of those weights on I’m on about

 

[Chae1]

Adding rear wheel weights ain't gonna help keep it's snout down cos that's only adding weight to the pivot point.
Knock a frame up to go between front hitch and stone fork to move it further forward a bit? Just thinking easiest and cheapest thing to try

Maybe got a point.

 

[Iben]

What is the visibility of the tines going to be with all these weights on the top?

If there in line with ones on front, not going to make much difference.

Compaction .compaction , why is everything so BIG and HEAVY.
What happened to light weight . Land is being beaten to death.
Neighbours today , one has a 4 row sp grimme potato harvester, filling into tri axle Larrington trailer s. Other one has a 6 wheel monster euro ropa beet harvester plus trailers .

Both of those harvesters will be 30t enpty, then carry 15-20t more. Crazy.

We've stuck with our trailed harvester and 12t trailers mostly.

6f plough

Do you have enough traction?
With that much weight on the nose and the plough down there's a lot of weight off the rear wheels
