Get the genuine v55 discs , put them on a stock order , they might do better. Try symon Jacobson he used to be very good on vadd parts or Cambridge. Or park farm

 

[Jetemp]

Wouldn’t use anything other than genuine!

 

[bigg6480]

Use genuine the fact they are easier to fit makes up the money in time spent putting them on.

 

[Matt77]

Been there done that, get them on stock order or out of season and your dealer should almost get down to the budget boys price, having fitted both I swore I’d never use non genuine again.

 

[Lewis821]

Only ever put genuine on, not worth it for the small price difference especially when you factor in the time to change them

 

[Gruffalo]

Looks pretty unanimous
Thanks

 

[Zebbedee]

Another unanimous vote for genuine on vaderstad

Genuine only!!! Like others have said get it all on a stock order. And the price is nigh on par with the spurious stuff. Running two 6m rapids here I can assure you that genuine metal lasts longer than the other stuff made out of cheese!!!

 

[Bob lincs]

Buy genuine, spaldings discs are not good at all .

 

[Midnight plough boy]

Use genuine - try Brocks for a price as well.

 

[turbo]

Genuine all the way,you will nearly save the difference in time because they will fit!

 

[Brisel]

Use genuine. I've tried APM and Spaldings and they are no good. The APM ones got sent back - half as thick and not even centralised! The newer Maxipart ones might be better but I've never tried them. As above, put them on a stock order out of season & you'll get a decent price.

 

[Gruffalo]

Prices I had were last Friday so should I expect genuine at a bit less than I’ve been quoted ?

 

[Bob lincs]

I have spaldings discs on one of our combi drills , they are thicker than genuine discs but go blunt very quickly and a thick blunt disc is useless . Also the centers are cracking out on several of them .

Another vote for genuine, there’s a reason cheaper parts are cheap.

 

[Bob lincs]

Talking to a spaldings rep once about plough points and all he kept repeating was “our points are 25% thicker than original parts. They could be 10 times thicker but if they are made of cheese they won’t last longer . Conversation ended in me asking how many sets of points he had changed in his life .
