Knock on points.....a pain

[willy]

Does anyone else think that these knock on point are actually more time consuming than 2 bolts whizzed on with an air gun.

I know in the field they maybe a little quicker, but you are only going to be changing the odd one and a spanner isn’t hard for a couple of bolts.

Make sure you ware safety glasses as well, I know of someone that had some metal go in there eye from hitting points off a plough, very painful. Who has safety glasses in the tractor with, if a quick fix is needed in the field.

Never seen the point of them either. Only takes about 15 mins to change all points on a 6f reversible.

I like them, use kv here last a lot longer than bolt on points and easy to change. Dont loose them in the field. So will keep using them.

Hopeless things I had a set on a plough once on demo kv they're too wide and flat to go into hard dry ground. And bloody expensive to run having to buy 3 parts instead of 2.
The last ploughs have been swapped to reversible points before they were delivered I won't even run a set off now

I have kverneland knock on points and think there're great.
Very quick to change, and to swap sides without fiddly/half worn nuts and bolts.

Jon , or any one else , do you turn them every day so it wears the bit that goes in the slot evenly ,

 

[Tractor_dealer]

if the points drop out , the point holder is probably worn
99% of our customers prefer them.

Please excuse my ignorance, I nothing about knock on points. What holds them on?

They knock into a tapered slot

So if you were to reverse a few inches with the plough in the ground, would they come off?

I learnt as a young lad, in the early sixties, not to do that. I started my ploughing using a Ransomes plough. The shares were supposed to be held on with a wooden peg. They would come off if you hit a stone. I used to hammer a nail through the peg, which helped.

When bolt on shares came along, the problem was solved.

Yes not often but as the holder's get about worn out they can

Speedy gonzalez! I find it takes 3x as long as that on a 5 furrow

Some folk can make simple tasks look difficult and take a long time about it tho

He's not far off I can get my dinner change/turn my points on my 5 furrow and be ploughing again in 30 mins

There’s no room to get the impact gun or even a socket at the nuts on the points of our Gregor besson

so it’s a 19mm spanner job then there usually to retighten again not long after

Impact gun ?

 

[Galcam]

Could u drive impact gun of Air brakes coupling on JD?

Nope. Only when worn back a bit, and the 'end' is flat.
Putting on the opposite body and you get a bit of a point again.

We use the air line on our jd8370 tractor to run an impact gun to change bedtiller blades. Leave tractor revving about 1200rpm, it does run low now and again but its quite quick to recharge. Deffo faster than a ratchet

We do here there’s plenty of air
