Folding Combination powerharrow/drill 5m or 6 on Puma 240?

Interested to hear peoples thoughts, there is a chap on youtube running a Kuhn 6m with a weaving tine on the back and behind a New Holland T7 245 I think. 1.5t hopper on the front balances it well. The New Holland is one down from a Puma 240?

T7.245 is two step smaller than a Puma240

T7.270 = 240
T7.260 = 220
T7.245 = 200
T7.230 = 185

Any kind of banks in combination with medium or heavy ground and you're into 300 HP territory if you want any sort of output.

Just looked again and its a T7.260 = Puma 220

The Puma will chuck out 270 hp on the power harrow.
Its more the handling and weight but it looked well balanced on the New Holland and seemed to handle it doing 7-8k albeit on pressed ground.
Output generally is dictated by conditions, we have medium to light ground with some heavy.
Following the plough makes them bark om medium to heavy land.
When the going gets tough wet patches could cause more of a problem.

Better off with 4m, run a Lemken here and that sits on a cvx240 or a Fendt 724 there isn’t a lot between the pair on heavy ground to hold 3k+ then up to 8+ on light silt in the dry they’d both handle 6m they’d snap in half but they would power it. But in the wet which is where we all pull out the combi card to power it all when it wants to stick together plus hyd fan etc takes a surprising amount of hp I am only running 3inches max enough to cover the seed at 30mm ish. To be far a 4m has same amount gearboxes as a 6m so loose hp there

Depends on the kind of dirt, how deep you work, how much dirt is being moved through the machine, how it flows through and what you are trying to do. I've known people run a 5m powerharrow on the back of a 150hp Fastrac(!), I've also known land where 150hp really really knew it had a 3m powerharrow on the back.

I've never driven a 6m powerharrow myself but just the idea of hitching one to a Fendt 724 or 6R Deere makes me wince. Way better on the back end of a little Challenger crawler!
