New toy day

[Boohoo]

New to us toy day, upgraded the sledgehammer...

Cheap, simple, lightweight and fairly tidy, it's exactly what we look for when buying machinery.

Has it got a tow bar?

 

[JCfarmer]

We weren’t using it that much and had brought the sabretine that was doing some of the work of the combi but I wish I had never sold it !

Bob why did you sell the sabretine?

The Porsche options list is extensive (and expensive ) but doesn’t extend to a tow bar for this model

Could do with one like that after the winds lately

We weren’t using it as a direct drill more like a conventional tine drill , we have a 10.5m tine drill so the sabre tine wasn’t used . Good drill though .

Much damage with you? Our only damage so far this storm season has been a tear in the polytunnel.

Is that your KV sabre conversion that we bought? If so, it now has Metcalfe legs, a couple extra to bring it to 6m, and does all our drilling apart from maize.

Yes it was ours , your conversion of the original conversion looks to be doing a great job .

Enough! 1 of the 6 trees that have fallen took out 3 gates and a water trough

Should have come in September but better late than never.
Won’t be much direct drilling going on for while here

Yea we have an old moorehouse gyro rammer, simple mechanical setup as well. Ours works on rollers off the pro. Big lever pushes the rollers against the column which lifts the hammer, then relase and it falls. The good thing is you need 2 hands to operate, one for the roller lever and the other for the release lever so chances of your hand being crushed are low, other persons obviously still capable of being injured.

Does it grip/use the barb wire to pull the staple out?

Yes, You can re use the staple aswell as they retain their original shape where as when I was hammering them out they usually were knackered
