Front Press

[Drakey]

Hi everyone, l'm looking to upgrade my Farmforce 3m frontpress. I was looking down the lines of buying either a new or second hand 3m frontpress with leading tines or shatterboards . What is the best out there that can work in all soil types and condition? I thought having tines on the front might help the powerharrow drill combination as my current front press doesn't do much!

We're on our second Heva with shatter boards and no complaints in really sticky going it can clog but show me something that doesn't. The shatter boards are good as you can level it a bit so the power harrow doesn't lose soil into the little holes between the furrows they have they're limitations tho over wintered heavy ground a leading tine might be better to loosen it but I've never had a problem yet

I like the look of the Heva ,do you have the V- Profile rings ? They look as though they would do a good job breaking clods up but when it's a bit sticky clogging up ?

I've seen proforge stuff. They look similar to the Heva , I was just wondering what the build quality was like ?

Yeah pretty much exactly that but it has to be to the point you shouldn't be in the field before they give bother

My friend runs a dalbo front press. Heavy but effective bit of kit.

Has anyone got experience with a press from machine line. They are made in Poland but apparently from the same factory that build a lot of the Amazone gear.

They're significantly cheaper than the competition.

I can't find any websites called machine line. Do you
