JD 750a and Fendt 724 (Profi Plus 2015) compatability...

[TomP]

We are hiring a Fendt 724 (year 2015) to use on our JD 750a drill for spring drilling.
Wandering if anybody has this set up and if they have any tips for what compatibility issues (hardware and software) there might be. I think the hydraulic pump flow rate is 115l/min with 4 closed spools...
Thanks

@dontknowanything and @Clive have this set-up.

 

[dontknowanything]

We have it...but has not been used yet. Best ask Clive.

Actually ours will be pulled by a 930 as the 724 lives on the sprayer. Overkill, but not worth changing tractor just for that.

If the 724 is ISO (should be) and the 750a is also an ISO optioned drill then it's plug and play software wise

Hardware only addition over standard we have is a free flow return for drill fan

What does a 6m take to pull in heavy going, hp wise?

On the flat, not much, prob 160hp but before we bought our 4m we had a 6m demo on a 195hp JD and it struggled with grip going up a steep hill.

So around 40hp per m width sounds sensible.

I think JD say about 30hp/m and that wouldn't be a problem on flat land but yes I reckon 40 is probably more comfortable.

724 is OTT on ours even with bigger hopper and the weight of the fert and tank - I reckon 200-220 is plenty to be on top of it, we have some decent banks here

 

[RTK Farmer]

Shouldn't this be in machinery or direct drilling?
No prob with 750 ISO connecting with 60 reg 415 or 716 so can't think there would be a prob with new700 series. It's actually much user friendly if drill has own screen so I bought little KV Match Go? Which works beautifully.

Clive, I assume yours runs through the X30? Do you use section control?

yes using section control, they way its set up the operator can chose which screen he wants which windows open on so have some on fendt profi and some on x30, steering, x2 cameras and drill on ISO but separate boxes for fert tank and stocks wizard - they could have been ISO as well but considerable extra cost for no real advantage other than getting rid of 2 boxes

 

[dontknowanything]

And does your section control do the whole 6m, or can it deal with the two halves seperately?

I think it only does the 6m but I've not used it since fitted so would have to check with a real tractor driver !

it's quite notable how much smaller overlaps are this autumn as I think default for any drill driver working manually is to be sure they have more than covered any ground !

Could you send me a pic of your timing setting for the shutoff please?

 

[Clive]

yes, will do

 

[Feldspar]

yes, will do

Can you send them to me too. Would be useful to compare. Thanks.

Hi Clive. Just wondering if you still have the photos of drill shut off times.

I will look, if not I will ask driver if he can remember them or if still saved in the x30
