hi I'm looking to put new shares on my kuhn ploughbut not sure wich size to use, 14 or 16". The plough is set for 16" wide furrows so 16" shares maybe?
Thanks
Thanks
Im currently using 16 inch shares on 14 inch furrows as thats what got delivered and i needed them.all works fine with no ill affects
Nick...
14" shares ideally. You need a hinge on the furrow of 1-2". If you use 16" shares and plough at 16" you will shear all the furrow off, which then pushes the furrow sideways instead of turning it over on the hinge.[/Q
Ok thanks,I just wasn't sure if a 16" share meant it was actually 16"wide or the share made to suit a16" furrow.
I did the same with our kv earlier this year, it didn't go very well, it cut the whole underside of the furrow so it didn't roll over as well because there was no hinge.Wrongly ordered 16inch shares yesterday. Kuhn currently running on 14 inch shares . My furrow width I'd 14inch. Will it be ok to run the 16inch shares on it
Yes they are fine.im currently on 16inch share on 14 inch work.have cut them down inpast but no benefit.only reason I’m on 16 as new plough was delivered set up for that but I shut it down to 14Wrongly ordered 16inch shares yesterday. Kuhn currently running on 14 inch shares . My furrow width I'd 14inch. Will it be ok to run the 16inch shares on it
