New Plough

[Qman]

I'm planning to buy a new 4 furrow reversible plough, to be pulled with a JD 6430 and have narrowed it down to a Pottinger Servo 35.

I have planned to get the Servo 35 with hydraulic front furrow width, Maize skims, pendular damped rubber wheel, scalloped rear discs and 46W bodies.

Have I misses anything and does anyone know much about the 46W bodies Please?

Where will you get the wearing metal from?

 

[nick...]

Probably the supplying dealer who will charge what he wants.never seen any pattern stuff for pottinger ploughs
Nick...

Better get a price for parts before putting in our plough order

[Kevtherev]

Few of them around.
I would go for a kuhn myself if I could afford a new one!!!

 

[Qman]

I've been lead to believe KV points will fit. Spaldings also have a range of spares for a Pottinger.

The thing with buying new is that I hope is will hold it's money when it's time to sell.

I have read on this site that Pottinger ploughs are very good. Is this wrong?

Try Franks Curtis special deals on Pottinger

How much is a 5 year old one worth?

 

[HAM135]

Doubt a pottinger will hold its value,hate to say it but if u are looking at residuals it has to be KV,run 2 Kuhns ourselves,good ploughs but wearing metal is v expensive

 

[An Gof]

If residual value and total cost of ownership is important then I would go for a Kverneland.
Never hear about people aspiring to a Pottinger.
My short list would be KV, Kuhn and Lemken.

The wear parts are the same as kv . But the frame is stronger with better clearance.

Keep to the pottinger love mine spares not a issue Spalding etc do them now but genuine parts are not to dear.

 

[CrevisbigX]

We had the plough now 5yrs ploughing 700-800 acres a year with no major issues.Neighbours kuhn has snap twice another neighbour keeps snapping the depth s\h value don't know but don't swap the ploughs to often the lemkens before were 25yrs old

 

[CrevisbigX]

Pleased with the performance of the 46w board copes very in all levels conditions

 

[Martin Holden]

Have a look at Overum! Been making ploughs for many years and especially if you are looking at autoreset as Sweden is the home of rocks and boulders. If you haven't tried one, do so; you maybe surprised by the ease of pulling and low power consumption.

have i missed something? i thought martin was with pottinger. must catch up.

 

[Rob Holmes]

Martin is JF Stoll/Kongskilde

 

[Martin Holden]

Not quite! I am wih Kongskilde and JF (the Stoll part has gone). The plough brand is of course Overum. People may get mixed up with my time at WestMac - Landmec Pottinger were part of the same group Landmachinery - which is long since closed!

Agree with above
Had ours for a full season now and best plough we have had
Spaldings do all the metal
But genuine prices are ok as well, ( not that we have needed anything yet other than shearbolts )
