Sulky compact drill.

I recently bought a new to me Sulky compact drill to be mounted on an Amazon ke303 power harrow
I have the A frame for mounting, but reading through the manual last night it says that with an Amazon ph it should be mounted onto the packer roller.
So the question is will it be ok to mount it using the existing A frame, or does anybody on here have pictures of brackets used to mount onto the packer roller.
TIA

I had a Compact 3m mounted on an A frame to a Kuhn powerharrow, worked fine, only issue was when the ph tines wore and the ph needed lowered on the packer roller the drill lowered with it. This can be dealt with by raising the A frame or shortening the top link which can pull the following harrow out of the ground.
I now have a Compact CX (disc drill) and it is mounted on the packer roller. This keeps seeding depth constant regardless of the depth of the ph, also it allows the ph more scope to 'jump' over stones (less weight on it).
 
Hi there I started out with a a frame mounting my sulky to a kuhn harrow changed in to packer roller as said before as tines got worn changed power harrow to maschio a few years ago and made brackets to fit drill to maschio harrow on to packer not to hard to do have changed power harrow again to amazone kx3000 last spring made a set of brackets to fit onto packer of amazone harrow used4 u bolts each side ,flat plate then welded to other 10mm flat plates onto it to make 2 sides then drilled 1 hole each in said plates and welded in round steel bar for it to pivot on will attach photos tomorrow my mate changed his harrow to to a new amazone and has a sulky drill to got a 4 figure price for new brackets hence he has copied mine to

We went from a Tramline CE in a Kuhn hung on the A frame. Now on a Xeos Pro which has the drill on the packer, it's much better, the drill depth is set properly and the power harrow set independently. The drawings for the kit are available online and I'm sure someone half useful in the workshop could knock it up in half a day.

Would it be possible for you to post a few pictures of your set of brackets?
Thanks
