Does anyone know the actual weight of the new 6m sabre tine?

Does anyone know the actual weight of the new 6m sabre tine?

A neighbour has one in the yard and tells me around 3.95 tons for a 6m on his weighbridge... No seed in the hopper either.
Not sure how that compares with a 6m mounted Claydon @Brisel ?

I think the Clayton is around 3.5

? Really that heavy!
I am going to have to ring Weaving to double check, our 6m kuhn megant is 2130kg. With just over 1t of seed in the hopper you know its on the back.

Can see alot of buyers speccing a lightweight version, no markers, alloy steps etc or just cut down on width to 4/4.8m maybe.?

If I did look at one it would go on the back of our Puma 240 which would lift it fine but still that is heavy.
Just checked specs on Claydon 6m and they are 3.5t, everyone says how they make a large tractor sit back. I'm sure Brisel has extra weights strapped on the front weights of his big JD?

Tried a 6m Sabre Tine on our 240 Puma today.Lifted it ok, but I reckon you want a 2 ton front weight on the linkage to keep the front wheels on the ground. A 1400 kg block was not enough..

And when you put a ton of seed in?

and on the road, at 50K ?? even empty that's not fun. gave up lifting a 3m Sumo Trio cause it was too heavy. would like a Sabre tine, but seriously put off.

Are you happy with your modified Evo TS with the narrow vad points ?

Yes but its no definitive direct drill, which is where i,d rather be!

Our 240cvx with a cherry smartbox 1400kg weight on the front

Also watch out for your back window as it is quite closely coupled with the hopper when lifted at a reasonable height

I’m probably missing the point but if it’s so heavy, why don’t they make one to go on the back of one of their caddy things?

They already do

So people don't have to moan how heavy it is then....

No just the extra price !

Run a 4.8 meter myself and that's heavy enough! think toolbar and front hopper would be best for 6 meter.

First outing with our new sabre tine, very impressed so far only done 30ac in to some stocky soils and it’s buried the seed well and with 6195r Deere in front 10k forward speed is very comfortable, very simple drill hope to use it mostly direct this year, it is heavy that’s for sure.

Back at it again properly now, very impressed the 4 row stagger copes will with trash, very little disturbance, drilling to day into our stronger land, some cover crop desiccated off last week.
