Got a Joker whose front discs are nearly "notchless" and especially for hard ground need replacing . Can I assume the bearings will last a redisc or should I consider a replacement?
Haven't put a spanner on the bolts yet but question - are they very tight ie lock tight, and is a normal socket sufficient or do I need some extra oomph, and I suppose the bolts need replacing?I put four sets on our joker and never needed to touch a bearing!
I used an impact socket on a short breaker bar so they aren’t overly tight, the key is having the correct size lump of wood to wedge the disc. You can use an impact wrench on every other disc which speeds things up!Haven't put a spanner on the bolts yet but question - are they very tight ie lock tight, and is a normal socket sufficient or do I need some extra oomph, and I suppose the bolts need replacing?
Haven't explored prices yet, but would go for genuine unless prices are silly more.Watching this with interest as will have the same job next winter on ours!
Will you use genuine horsch discs or aftermarket ones?
cheers dh
Genuine are hardened on one side so they stay sharper for longer.
