New power harrow for stoney ground .

[james ds]

Im looking at a new 3 m power Harrow , we have plenty of stones so which Harrow is the best on stoney soil. I'm thinking Amazon or Kuhn or Pottinger, I have two pottingers already but they changed their one piece tine to two single tines and a new adaptor plate for the older models , but it keeps breaking bolts and is not a good job. Are the new pottinger with their quick fit tines a success. So of the three which is the best.

Kuhn here for a long time and we're definitely what you would call a stoney place we occasionally break a tine holder but not often in the really bad bits just shut the pto revs back and getvthe forward speed up and it copes fine

Replaced my old kuhn 3002 with a new 3004 in May and expect it to handle stones and the odd rock. Slip clutch has certainly been tested. I thought that when it comes to selling on DoneDeal there will be victims for it!

Stones will go
Through a ten rotor machine such as an Amazone better than a 12.

Sulky.... if you are in Ireland I can give you the importers details. We test our products in quarry stone. Built very heavily

 

[Drillman]

I’ve had a Kuhn 3001 10 rotor power Harrow under my drill for the last 14 years. Drilling at times what appears to be a quarry. No leaks, no broken tines nothing. 100% reliable.

Those new tines are a disaster, why did they change what was a good system. Lose a plate most days

Amazone's KG power harrow takes a bit of beating. Tested to destruction here in Aberdeenshire and they cope very well. Kuhn used to be well thought of but seem to have lost there way with many saying they are not as hardy as the used to be.

Never seen one about

Rabe used to be good , might be worth a look!

Our amazon has had loads of stones go threw it and plenty big ones have set the clutch off it’s never had anything go wrong with it

Got some straighter times one year and they snapped like carrots make sure you get the genuine tines

Kuhn ones a lot cheaper and I think they last longer

Can you still buy a new Rabe?

Rabe PKE with stone guard, I replaced a Kuhn with one, stronger and better than the Kuhn. Although if I couldn't have a Rabe it would be a Kuhn.

the other thing about an amazone is the tines are swept back so they tend to push the stones down we had a 4mtr kg on a power harrow combi and it never gave any trouble and believe me we have stones i have had neighbours with alsorts of p harrows and they have broken tines and shafts but we had none of that with the k g

Was wondering about welding tips onto the old 1 piece tines to see how they do
