[QUOTE="Two Tone, post: 7188160, member: 44728"] A Fastrac 2155 certainly has the HP to drive a heavy Combi such as the Kuhn LC 4000 Combiliner Venta with the system disc coulters, but doesn't have the lift capacity to lift it. On my last one, a 2140, I used to use a Kvernland 4 meter Combi (using the Acord Drill) with 3 rows of Suffolk Coulters, which was also a struggle to lift when the hopper was full. I fitted a bigger set of lift cylinders to get over this which worked, but for the fact that it would break the rear axle Wishbone. The latest Kuhn Combis, now fit a modified hopper much further forward, right over the power-harrow to alleviate the leverage problem associated with having the hopper too far back. But even so, their 4 metre Combi itself is still almost as long as it is wide. I had seriously thought of taking the tank off and placing it on the demount chassis above the rear axle, behind the cab. This would have been ideal, other than the fact that I need to get the whole Combi off quickly, to put my demount sprayer on the Fastrac to apply pre-em sprays. So in my case, using my NH 7050 on the Combi suits my system far better. However, I have recently been experimenting with a complete change in Direction on 2/3rds of the farm, using this: [ATTACH type="full" alt="0365F005-5EB3-45C6-AFFD-4180E3B5B237.jpeg"]914652[/ATTACH] And when it produces something like this for 1/8th the amount of diesel to establish a crop, compared to ploughing, Combi-ing and rolling, it certainly makes me wonder....................!
