John Deere....ball and spoon

[ollandroverman]

Hello.
We are looking for the tractor part of a ball and spoon hitch to fit a John Deere 6930 to allow coupling to a newly acquired Krone 890 Square baler which is thus equipped.
Has anybody one for sale or would know where to look?
Any help / pointers would be very gratefully received as this hitch system is a new one on us.

If I've read my JD stuff correctly, you'll not be able to have the PUH with 'ball & spoon' at the same time... Better call yr JD dealer,,,,, or Krone dealer, eh..

JD 30 series use Scharmuller PUHs, why not just buy the ball unit to replace the existing hitch hook ? http://ballandballfarmservices.co.u.../06/Scharmuller-K-80-Ball-Coupling-System.pdf

If it's a ball and spoon (scharmueller K80 type) pickup hitch insert, which it probably is, then you can have a browse on the Scharmueller website product selector for a 6930 for the correct insert:

The Scharmueller guys to speak to in the UK are JH Milnes. Steve Burles is the chap on 01226 399897 or 07748 114100

Yes not exactly cheap unfortunately. They are very good hitches though, much better than a hook, there is no slop in them at all. Scharmueller's K80 was/is the original ball and spoon, and they do command a premium price. I've been told there's also a knock-off French made brand that is cheaper, but I can't recall the name right now.

I'd try Steve at JH Milnes, if they got a suitable K80 insert on the shelf it could end up being less than if they have to order one specially in.

It would be interesting to know how much JD charge for a suitable green painted ball and spoon insert.

In a classic case of one hand not knowing what the other is upto.....Mark has beaten me to it and has come up trumps. One pickup hitch ball unit is on its way. Thank you all for your help....I have gone from knowing nothing about ball and spoon, to knowing a little
