Maschio Ploughs

[Gone Shooting]

Looks a good plough with a long board - anyone got or tried one thanks.

 

[its.... only me]

Anybody had any experience of these yet good or bad ??

Can anyone tell me more about these, we currently run a KV but looks very expensive to change
Tried a Lemken good plough but very expensive for wearing metal
Does the Maschio use the same parts as anyone else?

Why not look at overum? The xl board is pretty similar to a kv no 28 and overum is cheaper to buy than a kv

Only for discs and subsoilers. New Holland ploughs are Øverum/Kongskilde

Had a six furrow manual vari width demo back in early September. We thought it was very well made, moderately easy to adjust but bl00dy heavy. It is physically a big plough with lots of clearance and long mold boards that leave the soil level and clean. Our local dealer had to add a 6th furrow to it at our request, and with a bit of soil sticking to the paint, our JD 215 was not overly comfortable picking it up. Had the pump tested but all was fine. Tractor was also very light on the front, only had the big pack weight on. Conclusion. Very well made, very strong, makes a great job set up properly, plenty of under beam clearance, long beam but heavy. Apparently hydraulic vari width adds another 300kgs. Didn't buy it because our tractor wasn't the master of it out of the ground. Pulled it fine in work.

You get what you pay for...the Kv will hold it’s value better than anything else...but there’s a lot of metal in the Maschio, but I just Demi’s a 6 f kv ES 85 250 and the customers 7618 picked it up considerably easier than the 5F reset maschio that Was also on farm. The first furrow seemed along way back...
