What sort of issues are the Alpego drills having? We're looking for a 6m combination/front tank set up at the minute to run alongside a Vaderstad and Claydon in place of a KV tine drill and I really like the look of an Alpego, mainly the simplicity of the single disc coulter design and how they are mounted (no complicated linkages or press wheels to cause issue on our heavy clay when it gets a bit sticky for the vad, we like to keep things simple!) I've spoke to several operators of the drills and power harrows, done a fair bit of research online and I think this comment is the first negative I've found so just interested to hear a bit more? Our agronomist put us in touch with a client of his who is running with 5000+ Ha on, we went to see him on Saturday and the drill/ power harrow was in good order with apparently very few problems, and his crops looked bloody well!Alpego been a disaster up here. Know of 3 returned. Dealer given up franchise.
Horsch seem to be gaining ground. There kuhn power harrow
