Have a 3 point hitch on 3m rapid. Turns beautifully. Added bonus is that it lets you raise and lower the front of the drill to aid contouring

JD receiver I get, but What grade control system are you running?

My guess is the deutz engine torque drops off significantly more as engine revs rise. The MAN engine likely has a flatter torque curve. The flatter torque curve would be my pick with a vario gearbox

Nothing’s changed, the big 6R deere and new 700 fendt weight just as much as an 8410 JD.

I think the 170L is correct. The problem is the 3% reading on the fuel gauge is incorrect. It’s going to be a gamble how long to keep working for when the gauge says 0%

Well the fuel gauge is wrong. 225 tank - 170 used = 55 remaining. That’s 24% remaining. Crack on

They make number 34 for sticky ground

Those with dry powder extinguishers need to turn them upside down and give them a good shake or tap with a rubber mallet occasionally. Maybe do it every time oil is changed

While better than nothing, 1kg isn’t enough. 3kg dry powder or foam is a better starting point. If you are carrying water for the purpose of fire fighting, add a bit of soap/dishwashing liquid. It will make it more effective at penetrating built up chaff

RH side of hood says 155, LH side looks like 145? 🧐

Drilled some oats into maize grain stubble last autumn with a vaderstad rapid. No system disc. Keep the coulters adjusted nice and close to the disc, and wait for the trash to be dry.

That’s got to be one of the long wheelbase 4cyl tractors? The short wheelbase 6130r wouldn’t have enough clearance around the fuel tank

In all reality there’s only 30mm difference in wheelbase. It’s the fitment of bigger tyres that ruins the steering lock

That’s TMS. Simply keeps engine rpm within that range. It is not traction control

Are you are talking about draft control that manages the 3 point linkage? As far as I’m aware there is no traction control that downshifts the transmission in response to wheel slip
