@farmingwithtom @andrewpolk7 @TRCTRDRIVR4SALE 450 hp, 8 rippers @ 4.5m wide, depth varying from 250mm to approx 500mm depending on the depth of the clay.

@Westwud13 2L of gly 450 + 300ml starane with SOA, 0.5% oil and wetter has done a good job on big fleabane, marshmallow and melons in our pastures.

@Warramboo I’m just glad he got 10ha worth of liquid out. When I got the phone call all I could picture was the cart leaning hard to the left with fert gushing out of the top of the tank

Clean snap 💩

[Tim Polkinghorne @TimPolky]

@LeonGill22 The bearings are fine (new last year, adjusted and greased in the last few days). Stub axle snapped, and of course filled up about 10ha ago

@MatthewsTodd You could do with some grease Todd 😂

@bouta_nt how to fill out your logbook

[Tim Polkinghorne @TimPolky]

@linden_price That should be enough to make the header groan!

[Tim Polkinghorne @TimPolky]

@PatrickJaeschke @JakeToster Yeah, 8320RT. Originally we bought it to pull 10,000L sprayer and 40ft disc seeder. High speed work with an 8RT is not operator or machine friendly. They also don’t have diff lock, so if you get into a spot of bother you can’t turn out of it without losing traction completely.

[Tim Polkinghorne @TimPolky]

@JakeToster @PatrickJaeschke Don’t do it! You’ll end up with a hernia after the first 100ha from getting rag dolled from door to mirror. We tried the same “kill two birds will one stone approach”… needless to say it was the youngest tractor on the farm and the first to get traded

@linden_price We’ve still got the original batteries in our 9RX too… might be time to whack a couple new supercharge ones in I reckon!
