Kverneland /Spalding mouldboard knife

[Dukes Fit]

Bought a half set of mouldboard knives/furrow splitters to try out.

Where have people found them most effective In to one of the spare holes or replaced a bolt in the stay?

I'm thinking one of the two holes in the middle is the most obvious.

I'd have thought they'd need to be just off the share ?

You putting new boards on that ?

 

[Barleymow]

Used to weld them on the wing on my ransomes, take more pulling too

Yeah full set of boards and shins, new skimmer points and set of knock on points.
Landsides getting turned too.

A lot of metal for only 120 acres of ploughing this year but it'll last a long time

There's hundreds of acres left in the ones you're taking off !!!!.

I'm pretty sure them knifes need to be either on the share or just behind it tho

Oh I doubt that very much. Poke them hard enough and your finger would go through them.
The tails were welded up once already and now the patch has gone too.

Looking at the pictures they actually look quite good though

Although the rear board in the picture is actually a new one already after somebody (not me) reversed in to a pole

They certainly look like new compared to what I'll take off anyway

I got half a set like you to try. Put mine in the middle hole of the board, the one your thinking of probably. Worked well on our heavy clay ground. Out of interest where did you get your boards from, I’m looking to put some on mine. Original kv?

@Farmerdunk Spaldings this time. First time we've not used KV metal so we'll see how it goes

I’ve not got a price from them yet. Got pan anglia to price up. Not as expensive as I thought

Spaldings metal is good but their boards are better in the scrap pile I’m afraid

For wearing life?

I normally run boards until they start breaking around where they bolt on.

Don’t know I only had them on for 1 month and sent them back.
Horrendous things they had a different profile to a kv28 and wouldn’t clean at all or match up just my personal experience

I’m the same wear on the back of the board doesn’t make much difference

Thought I was going to break some this morning! You were right about the

frost. Next field was too wet.

This'll be fun in the clay below the road then

Opposite here frost came out through the night just a sticky mess

They might be okay now have you tried ploughing the clay at 12 or 14” wide before?

No, got 16" feathers on the plough. Clay normally turns over ok if you get it at the right moisture.
Only ploughing it this year because of the mess last year's rain made the night it was sowed
