Teagle/ tulip multi disc vario

[Disco stu]

Hi all, I’m after some info on a Teagle multi disc vario 300. Mainly how power hungry are they? I’m told they’re easier pulling than a trio, would a 6930 boss one in maize stubble with legs down? And would a pass with this then a skim with simba cultipress leave a good enough finish for grass?
cheers all

We have a 3m Vario on a NH T.7 190 which is 210 power and it flies without the sub soil legs down. With the subsoil legs down it is like someone has put the handbrake on! It depends on your land but ours is no way flat with a lot of long uphill drags. Well built tool with plenty of weight, takes more to pull than previous Simba Express ST Bar but a better machine with much larger discs.

Had one on demo a few years ago. Pulled it with a TM190 OK but not sure how far the legs were down. Didnt seem quite as heavy as a mounted Trio. Biggest problem was that the discs kept stalling as they are single discs and not paired like the Trio. A disc would stop and then everything would start to block up. The guy doing the demo never managed to resolve it. Bought a trailed Trio in the end.

Weaving Subdisc (also had that on demo) or a newer Trio with the shakerator type legs might be the easiest to pull, but then you’re moving less soil.

Had one for a few years and swapped it for a trailed Sumo trio because of disc stalling and weight on rear links

We have one, ours is a 6 leg but I think they are now either a 5 leg or they altered the leg setup somehow, we an pull and lift with a 6910 but if we need any depth we use 200hp and can bring it to its knees, so in a word if that's your biggest tractor it's probably not for you as you won't get the best out of it!

We tried a 300 on our 180hp Massey and it was fine with the legs up but struggled with the legs down so in the end we got a 250 with 4 legs and get on well with it. Only find the discs stall if not going in deep enough together them working. Great machine but doesn't like wet ground or to much grass stubble.

Love ours and pull it with a 6930 6155 working at 8". Find it far better than the sumo we used to cope with straw or grass weed

Has anyone replaced the discs? Trying to hunt down the correct ones. They all say 510mm x 5mm but just measured my rear ones ( less worn) and they are over 510mm now after 2500acres. Is the measurent from the narrow part of the cutout?

Weaving have 510mm ones with 5 studs and the cutout for the notch on the center. Thanks

Just heard back from teagle.... they were 560mm when new. Again if anyone has a good source for non genuine that would be great

Agricast would be worth a try.

Just ordered genuine but through kramp. Good bit less than the dealers. Apparently tulip and teagle have parted ways so stock is a bit iffy too on some parts
