Wheeled tractor for 8 metre Vaderstad

[Farma Parma]

Back to OP 400hp for anything 8m getting the wheel marks out will be ya biggest issue id say just coz of the weight
of these wider drills.

We looked at the 3m KR and I liked it but bought a used 3m Sulky Xeos Pro instead. Nice looking drill.

These videos always look good working dry flat land that has been pre worked.

I want to see them getting dragged up a steep hill, on ploughing, in a late, wet spring!

There's an 8320R pulling a 8m vaderstad up this way on a wide variety of ground then the next man down the road is using a big quadtrac or an 8400r to do the same job

NH 8.380 on ours. Well worked, level seedbeds. Nothing soft.

Has anyone removed the front cultivation elements from a Rapid to make it lighter and more akin to a DD drill?

I'm considering a CTF concept and would go for a bigger drill that follows mainly surface shallow cultivation, where the vaddy coulters work really well.

It's just that to adopt CTF practices it's n normally the drill that ends up being bigger than the current horsepower allows. Shallow discs, rolls, sprayer, combine all fit an 8m/24m CTF really well (or even a 9m/27m or a 10m/30m).

On heavy land with blackgrass I would hesitate going to a wide spacing drill like the sprinter.

If you could pull an 8m vaddy without the front elements working or even removed how much power would be needed then to achieve 12km/hr+
