I have the 3m version and love it other than the cost of the points.

Make sure you hard face the leading edge of the wings or in a sandy soil they can be gone in less thank 40 acres.

I’ve had the stealth points with tungsten tip only and wings and tips and neither lasted as long as I’d hoped, on stoney land the tiles just chip off very quickly. Currently running a set from Pan Anglia and they’re lasting very well. As @Boothy said though, the APM 1s will also be very good

Have you got links to the Pan Anglian ones?

I’ll have a look and see what I can find but usually I just ring the rep and tell him what I want

Edit. I’ve had a look on the website but can’t find it sorry, give them a call I’m sure they’ll sort you out

Thanks. Are they a straight swap for the original ones?

Any pics of them?

I’ll get a photo of the full piece tomorrow but the only photo I have on my phone is of this little tab that I had to grind off for it to fit. I’m told that has been sorted out now so should be a straight swap

I have a new 550 loving it so far View attachment 1096993

Have had 500 series arions this last 5 years (530 and 510) , gave no bother at all. Mapped both which helped but your 550 at 165hp is perfect. This face lift of the 500 seems to have sorted engine liveliness and all round quality

New bucket
View attachment 1097115

I,m guessing you paid just over £2k for that, they have doubled in price as well, I bought mine when the beast from the east hit us, 1st job I did was clear our lane from snow £1k it cost, I priced a bucket grab the other day from local dealer, £5k , crazy.

 

[GOODYSMATE]

You buy that off Kingy?

Yes , i first spoke to him well over a year ago about one and again last November but i made my mind up about 3 weeks ago and placed the order

 

[David.]

Had price moved while you "carefully considered" your decision?

APM ones were a straight fit no trimming needed and similar cost to standard genuine point.

Are the wings tungsten on them?

 

[Boothy]

Are the wings tungsten on them?

You can't get them with full tungsten wings these are just tiled on the leading edge and then the wing is ridged to help with wear we looked at the other version with hard face welding on the sides and and thought it would make the point wider and do more disturbance. I've attached a picture showing tungsten tiles in red.

Have you ever had any problem with the u bolts on the legs breaking? my only concern is that might be a weak point?
