 Topic: Can mounted cultivators be retrofitted....
Posted: 16 May 2010 at 12:59pm |
|
I know of a D15 with mounted cultivators on it. A neighbour and I want mounted cultivators for doing soys on 20" rows, 7 rows at a time. That would mean two on each side of the tractor, and three underneath. Could we make this work with adding more tube and different row units, or would this be too much for the tractor?? Thanks.

they do make 4 row wide cultivators, 4 row 38" is 152" and 7rows at 20" is 140" so you should just have to space your tires and row units accordingly

You will also have to setup the planter in multiples of 7 rows.

I think you can get the cultivator setup OK but you will need a set of narrow rear tires for 20" rows, And need to drive strait. lol

Believe it or not, I have been doing them with a three point hitch cultivator and my 180 with 18.4x28 tires. They work fine, but you do have to drive straight! 14.9 or 16.9x28 rears would be a treat!

Is that the D15 II at Brindley's in Dungannon? They've had that one for a few years now, but they do not like to budge on price much.

Yes, it is. They have had it for a while. I am just getting tired of looking back all of the time!
