As smart as that beasty looks could you refrain from posting a topic with this title when @Flossie / @eulb are in the calving pen-glanced at the timeline and got all excited for a second or two!

Are you putting it to work over the weekend then?

Next week probably.

What hp are you going to pull that with?

 

[DrDunc]

Looks nice and complicated!

Will you need to make a new bag lifter for the T5 to be able to fill it?

 

[B&B Pig Man]

What hp are you going to pull that with?

An MF6490 so 175hp ish.
(Hopefully will be enough - was told I'd need 50 - 60 hp on my heavy land).

Yes - big instruction book to read!

Will be able to reach with the one I made last year!



Plenty of reach on this!

Did you trade the krm in against it

No.
Sold it privately.
Bought Mzuri privately too - then it was updated by Mzuri for me.

Is it going to be dry enough to put the front tynes in the soil then?

We'll soon find out!

Rolling some WW and WB today - too dry for that really, a Rolls bouncing over the top quite a bit.

Will still be very wet underneath though - only way to find out what job it will make is to try it though.

What made you change brands then.looks a nice bit of kit btw

KRM couldn't cope with the trash I was expecting too.
It was a fantastic drill for a plough system though.

I've now also started with B&B Pigs - so my time is limited / precious.

Hopefully the Mzuri will be the way forward for me.

 

[Jon]

I'll second that, pigs take up a lot of time !
Hope the drill goes well for you

Yup. We are drilling oats here next week - taking a lot of care as it is dog dirt 4" down. Wouldn't want a greasy streak of clay under my bean roots.

 

[Retraceh]

Let me know how you get on as mine turned up last week.

No spring stuff to try it on though.

 

[Kaad]

Looks really good - all the great updates possible on a mounted..

Good luck

 

[Retraceh]

Have you tried the new drill yet?

 

[B&B Pig Man]

Have you tried the new drill yet?

Not yet.

Keep trying to convince myself it needs to warm up a bit first - maybe next week?!
