Such a pity about the recent JD Drill factory fire !!

 

[SilliamWhale]

They take a lot of maintenance!

Top job. How much would I expect to pay for a 3m now? 33?

 

[willy]

Now you have to spend the same again to make it work with gutlers, fert system. You may as well just bought a cross slot

You reckon, is it your £110 k on a 4.5 m drill? All in for under £50k, difficult to justify the extra in my book. I like the cross slot a lot but I would rather keep the extra £60k for myself.

 

[Andrew K]

I am sure it will work out ok BB, there,s a wealth of experience on here with the JD drill. Are you going to convert land in stages or just use opportunistically?

I'll give Tom and Ian a call, they will explain the error of your ways and why you should have spent the other £60k

Congratulations on taking the plunge, I look forward to seeing how it works out .......... you might have to initiate a new annual reunion for all the zero till advocates

Yeah I was only joking. Its fine really but not great fun to work on when you do have to do something but theres loads worse.

Super drill for placement etc. You won't be dissatisfied esp if you have Simon's number to fire the odd question at him.

well your not going to need that lot any more - can I recommend this place http://classifieds.thefarmingforum.co.uk/listing/index

smart move, I doubt you will look back if you approach with the right attitude

But its not better just the same.

lol - they are almost inconsequential in cost, just had mine arrive for my new 6m that turn up last week, they might even take a entire hour to fit

have you priced up a replacement CS disc or coulter ??

WCoDDers!

 

[Clive]

You have been told that you now have to invite @SilliamWhale and @Simon Chiles around for dinner for the initaiantion ceremony ?

 

[Banana Bar]

Why did you post that pic of me Clive, that was supposed to be a private moment between us!

[willy]

I did put a smiley afterwards but it never seems to come out on the thread?

I was just being facetious. I like the drill, it's not for me but I like anything that increases margins. And improves assets.

Should have bought a Claydon, you can replace all wearing parts with a lump hammer.... Add in two adjustable spanners and you could strip down and rebuild it!
