Hi All,
Anybody got any opinions on this type of cultivator?
We are on the market for a cultivator and any opinions would be welcome.
Thanks

reckon that if you want an allrounder you would probably be better with a disc like the amazon or lely.can be used to disc sprayed off grass, disc stubbles or on ploughed ground

It would be grand on light land, especially if it was ploughed before Xmas.
Is it for spring cropping?

Some heavy but mostly light ground. From reading the spec on the one abobe it goes to 15cm/ 6 in in depth, thats not allot.
Ill have to have a look at a few disc machines to see whats about.

What kind of jobs do you have for it?

They are fine for working down ploughed ground provided you don't have many stones.

Yes if you want stones brought up this is the machine for you!

Neighbour has one the same except threres a leveling bord on the front, it does leave a nice finish in good soils but its a bitch for bringing up every stone it can

I would agree,our friend also purchased one triple k. I think called.Couldn't pull it with his 7610.
Father went down with our tractor and finished the field for them with it.and he said the same:
in the right conditions yes,it does a good job.but nothing beats powerharrow in his eyes.not sure if they still have it.

There is something wrong with that 7610 then because a 47hp Ford pulls 8 and 9ft versions here.

Power harrows are slow and thirsty IMV.

Aye they got a Fleming on the farm I work for. Gotta power harrow a few years after. Good job from it but the power leaves a better finish.
