[QUOTE="farmerman, post: 7235204, member: 3464"] Yes how have you found your freeflow on metcalfe and did you change the leg too? Yes you have two very good combinations but can imagine the freeflow was substantially cheaper... yes that wouldBe an option we would have too look into but your correct we want to make a leg that will accept various coulters so not limited just to one.. yes we would buy a leg and then copy as we know A very good laser cut man not too far away which gets drawn up on cad and saved to make more if needs be.. yes I like rubbers because there’s a bit of give but we’ve found with rubbers after age they deteriate and then rubber moves around and out meaning buying more rubbers to replace again. Don’t mind cutting a tine at angle to get best set up to accept the vos point as we’ve been talking to Stuart at Martin Lishman he recommends you are best to have an angle arrangement as that’s best for the vos yes I know the simba drills you mean I think We are going to copy that arrangement of the later simba drills to fit the leg as it looks very professional and saves on haveing rubbers.. yes there such a well built and well thought together drill so very happy with the frame we are starting with.. regarding the wire rope the drill we have already has that conversion onit so that’s a bonus. Yes we’ve got too look at leg spaceing and best bet we’re looking at haveing 3 rows of legs and possibly 200mm spaceing makeing 20 legs or we might go to 250mm meaning only 16 but will look into that a bit more. Yes looked at co’s but there not too cheap no more and finding one isn’t easy plus the co assembly and the spring that hold time has less than half the sprinters spring force so could flick back in hard ground..not ideal... No Iv phoned a horsch dealer about the spring leg and holder for the leg and for one bit he it was £365 I said roughly how much for everything the answer was over £700 conversation soon stoppped there lol 😂😂 as you say they price it so you don’t buy them and buy a sprinter instead clever I would say from horsch [/QUOTE]
