Sumo trio on stoney ground

[cosmagedon]

I've got some mental stoney ground to cultivate with a trio that chips the tungsten for fun. I'm thinking of having a dedicated set of legs with the cheapest feet/wearing metal I can get.

Shakerator feet came to mind, if I convert some scrap legs I've got I could use them when going there.

What are shakerator legs like for stones, or any other suggestions that would be better?

If your land is any thing like this why not just set the Trio tines very shallow, as why would any one want to cultivate such soil very deep.
I can’t understand why this field and many more like it have been cultivated by Quadtrac/ Topdown for the last 10yrs or so, complete over kill

It's not little things like that that chip sumo metal it's the big ones that don't move easily.

What depth of soil do you reckon you have there before your are in the subsoil or rock underneath?

Tungsten carbide overlay application is a great option for stoney ground conditions, unique blend of crushed carbide particles in the molten weld offers excellent impact resistance. I have attached some pictures of wings before and after in flinty ground from a returning customer. Please get in touch with me for metal wearing issues.

Compared to standard materials, how long do you think that sort of treatment will last and what sort of cost are we talking?

Many on TFF will not believe me when , I say that an average depth of so say soil/ brash , on the top of the stone would be 6” max of 8”. On the farm, about 3 miles away ,which we were tenants of one certainly didn’t set the the plough any deeper than 6” other wise all one did was plough up yet more stone and break the plough into the bargain. If one doesn’t get some good rains in May one is stuffed as regards getting descent combinable crop yields.

I can believe that. Some of my clients had lovely limestone soils, they were a bit deeper than that and had a lesser stone content but they drained beautifully. Used to grow excellent crops of maize off of them but you had to be careful subsoiling in places where it wasn't quite as deep.

There is many variables to take in to account and hard to put exact figures on life span and compare to other metals. Just going from feed back from our customers anything from 3 to 10 times the life span of the part , on average I would say it is about 4 to 5 times. But many variables like soil conditions , types etc have effects on life span. As for price I would need to talk to you more in detail, price varies depending on , quantity ording, preparation that is needed for application, ie paint or rust removal, size of part etc.
