Khun power harrow tines / impact wrench

[Boomerang]

Khun bolt on tines , which impact wrench would be suitable . Wouldn't use it for much else, maybe changing flails also. Would a 1/4 inch be man enough ? which model / brand ?

 

[TechWise]

The 1/4" type are generally for screwdriving and light work. 1/2" is a good all rounder for bolts. Then it's a choice between the compact type or the larger one built for wheel studs.
My stuff is all Milwaukee. Others swear by Makita and Dewalt. As the saying goes, you pays your money and you takes your chance. All the big names are probably pretty good now with decent warranties.

Biggest 1/2" you can get.
Lots of ugga duggas
@TripleSix

Get proper 24mm impact socket.

 

[milkloss]

Have you got cordless stuff already? Cheapest way in is to buy a bare unit.

1/4 inch sockets wont go big enough ,,1/2 inch sockets go up to 32mm and a good impact wrench can handle them to that size

 

[Boomerang]

Makita xwt 14 ?

Milwaukee M18FHIWF12-502X fuel Gen2 1/2'' impact wrench.
If you go for Milwaukee,this one is the job.
It's well uprated on Nm power compared with the older version that I have. Mine handles Maschio PH nuts no bother even with the 1/2'' to 3/4'' adapter on.It's well man enough for hedgecutter flails too.
1/4'' or 3/8'' drive haven't a hope...

The hardship od bolt on tines. Used to put a set on every summer for 20 years even if there was a bit of wear left because it was a big job. Used a 1ins impact gun which was heavy.
Use the quick fit now. Great job. You wouldnt mind changing them.

 

[Kildare]

Ps. They have to be really tight or they will fall off all over the place.

Wont even be close with those tools think again.
The Kuhn ph comes with a long handle 24mm spanner when new and adding a bar on the end 'just in case' is the way to go. As @Kildare above they've got to be tight.
Once the nut has been cracked off then a driver may spin it off/on but it needs the extra to tighten and use the right bolts/nuts for the job.

Save yourself a lot of time and effort, switch the holders onto quick fit

A 3/4 impact Air gun does it fine
No need fo a bar
Bolts sometimes break if non genuine

Yes but op asked about 1/4” drive
Bolts should be fine threaded so suspect harder than 8.8 with a flange type nut

son's one handles wheel nuts on light trucks.

 

[agrimax]

Don't think mine has been beat with tractor wheel nuts yet and that's also with the 3/4 adapter.

 

[herman]

We use a milwaukee 3/4 impact gun.
Spring washers if not new nyloc nuts and for additional help threadlock.
Got 2 x 3m 2 x 4m kuhn bolt on plus a 6m vicon.
Not that much of a chore if properly supported on axle stands at the right angle.
Office chair on castors helps too.

Currently using a 1/2 inch breaker bar on 24mm socket, not a bad job, but thinking about making it easier and quicker , as I'm getting older, weaker,slower.
Fitting quick fit holders not worth it , cost would be about half what harrow cost s/h.
Impact wrench could be used on other stuff so makes more sense.
