Ploughing/ Combi drilling autumn 2017 pics please

Using them every year to stop pan forming. Got drains at 10m spacing on that land but if the water can't get down to them they don't do much good.

10m centres , that's a lot of drains to look after

Was a lot of gravel to pay for when they went in 4-5 years ago too

Lucky enough to be out with the horsch finishing up last Thursday, when conditions get really sticky the 3 m one pass and front press sow.

What is wrong with you guys why all the open back windows ?

its about the only job you can do with the back window open

Tapping in our 35 acres of 'graham' wheat. 8 fields drilled with the little 2.5m rig

Doesn't look like dust going to be a issue!? I plough with back window open if it's not dusty.

I at least like to smell all the good things I'm letting out of the soil by ploughing it.

Testing the Kuhn gearboxes.

Bet they'll be feeling the strain in that heavy stuff.

Puffy and light as it comes on there. Nice and steady.

Not as bad as when on the road I know, but whirring gearbox, smell of warm oil...not for me thanks!

Looking good what sort of roller is that on the back of the dril coulter bar? bet it sits fairly heavy on the tractor as long as that?

Must be a Mcormick thing!

 

[AlfM]

It's no roller. Just a depth wheel each side near back. Weaving toolbar and wheels were further forward between coulter tines originally but would always bung with mud so moved them back.
First outing on there but seems to be fine. No where near the wheelings to fill in as the 6175r on 850 rears.

That's exactly what I need! Homemade?

No. Bought originally as a full Kuhn front tank/power harrow/suffolk coulter setup. Suffolk coulters no good after beet from mid november onwards. Already had Weaving tine drill so got a 4 m Weaving tine drill toolbar made up rather than the suffolk coulter bar that was on the back.

Must be, they pretty much all make a noticeable noise and smell funny when the backend is warm.

Depends who's warm backend you've been smelling and making funny noises!?
