NH t7

[bramley]

When ploughing with t7 210 some times DR comes up on the middle dash. What does this mean?

 

[ab100]

It means draft, if you move the round thumb dial up or down it will change.

Draft for the hydraulics. Your arm lights should be flickering aswell

Should the lights be flashing all the time when plough in ground.

 

[Down farmer]

Yes they flicker in response to the changing ground conditions either raising or lowering the arms

If DR comes up does that mean draft is in correct position.

Are u a plough man?

I'm no expert.

Not necessarily as depth off plough has to be set and the degree of sensitivity on draughty as well,I’m sure there’s others on here who can add further advice

My inside front tyre measurement is 5inc wider than the back is this to big a difference, should it be same or bit wider?

For in furrow ploughin the inside measurement should be the same, if its not it will reflect on the job finish as ul struggle more to match the first furrow against the last furrow from the last pass

If the fronts are wider than the rears don't try to run them against the furrow wall.
Set the depth on the draft wheel, you can put the position slider all the way forward, or set it a little below the ploughing depth to act as a 'bottom' stop. So in wetter conditions it stops the plough going down too far.
Set the rate of response so that when you are ploughing the green status lights are alternatively lighting up every couple of seconds.
Then if it's really wet set a slip limit and turn on the wheel slip on the side console and let the radar do the hard work for you.

Meant to have the linkage position right down for ploughing and control depth on the position and draught wheel start on ten then start winding it to a lower number, you will see Dr replace the lift arm height number on dash when working in draught. I however find it too sensitive and don't set it like this! But this is how our New Holland mechanic told me it shod be set?

DR has been about since TM days.
NH’s answer to different height being displayed when ploughing the other way….. “I know we’ll just change display height to show DR instead”………

No, Height number is for position control, DR means you are using draft control.
Two totally separate systems. Unlike all the position/draft mixers of the past.
It's a system I first used on Case MX and New Holland adopted after the merger.

As I said above, if you are in wetter conditions and you set the position control just below the ploughing depth, it will stop the links dropping right down maybe preventing you getting stuck.
If it's too sensitive wind it back on the sensitivity dial under the arm rest. Or if you are really struggling, turn the wheel slip on and let the tractor do it all for you.
