Rabe MKE power harrow - what drill?

[Massey_3115]

I have got a 3 meter Rabe MKE power Harrow which I’ve had for years. Ive got a bit of drilling to do for SFI and grass leys. Looking for a drill to go on the back - think I’ve only ever seen a Fiona - which was mounted and not a piggy back. Probably looking for a needle in a stack! But if anyone has one or can remember what drill went with the powers harrows - much appreciated !

3 meter accord will work well with your Rabe

Yes that looks similar to the setup I’ve seen before. Thank you for sharing

one thing to remember is weight and the Fiona is light compared to the other drill, having a lifting frame as well for when you are turning helps on smaller tractors
I had a Rabe combo like the one above on Demo but it needed. 130 hp on the front just for turning , but my drilling tractor was not man enough so we went for a Nordstein

there is a machinery dealer based in North Devon who has a Rabe branded combi box drill just like the Fiona one in @BredRedHfd picture for sale, I think its shop soiled or lightly used so wouldn't be a ruin.

Its advertised the the free newspaper that we all pick up at the market or on the parts counter at dealerships, Agricultural trader I think its called.

Sorry, but I cant think of the dealers name, and I haven't got a copy of the paper, some one else will be able to help im sure, if not Ill try to find a copy and then post a link.

Yes that’s a good point about lifting / weight, thank you

I've had 2 krm box drills and got on well with them. 4m Used to go well with our 6465 sat on a lely power harrow. Light weight simple drills .only changed a couple of years ago as we wanted to try a disc drill

This is the advert I was talking about.

That is a nice size / set up

Yes it was a good rig the tractor on the photo is our 6499 but it would normally be on the 6465.that won't be a option for our new drill as it's a fair bit heavier.we can now drill in tougher conditions but drill weighs more

That looks a lovely set up as well

Thanks it's a tidy rig the field in the photos is the lightest land on our farm most of it is heavy clay. If it was all like that I would have kept the box drill as it was simple and cheap to run

Give them a call I guess, at £1000.00 it looks quite a bargain if it will fit onto your machine.
