You're lucky it was only the meal bag was damaged. Those pipes on the underside of the boom can be damaged easily enough. Leave on the bucket next time. Also be careful about throwing slings or esp chains on that cover for the same reason.

Bought an Einbock Harrow and seeded from him, unseen, 3 yrs ago. Was very happy with it/him. Luck of the draw I suppose

How do you like the einbock for reseeding? Dad been on about them for years, on his wanted list

Was driving one of those on a site one time and one of the lads threw up a 3" water pump to bring back to the yard only remembered it when I heard the crunch

Pipes there are very strong on this one pkus there is a good 6 inches of a gap in it when it's fully down

Not much to go wrong with a tine harrow but the seeder is a bit different

Very happy with it. Comes into its own for paddock rejuvenation after a wet spring. I'm very close to a situation where I'm doing no actual "reseeding". I find with the present abergain/aberchoice/drumbo/tyrella mix the sward can be very open after 7-8 yrs. I think the persistency of abergain leaves the sward open after a number of years. Anyway, I offen run over open awards with a monoculture or a mix. Seems to be giving me an extra ~3 tons, on those pastures the years they are done.
This year I did it last on paddocks that were damaged this spring. Giving me a lot of extra grass. The seeder is only a Stocks broadcaster, plenty good for a farmer and 1/3 the price of an air seeder.

(All said, I wonder would a bog standard grass Harrow with a broadcast seeder give the same results. I went with the Einbock for width...20ft..to get the job done fast)

Is that the one with 4 parts to the einboch that folds down. we have the one with the 3 parts. Think it's a 16ft one.

Have a new type chain Harrow here and it's not great tbh, Its good to level poached ground but it only glides along on even ground. Doesn't scratch much at all

Drove all the way up to him to have a look at a keenly priced ex council case tractor afew years ago, it looked clean in the photos, but was an utter rust bucket when I saw it in the flesh (obv used for spreading salt). Waste of a 6/7hr round trip...

That's the worst thing about pics. Hard to make out the true condition of a machine in them.

Yours folds up straight on either side I think. Ours folds over itself. Might not be room for a broadcaster

Weld on and brace well at the headstock but also make it bolt on-off an heavy bit of box steel to hang it out the rear of the machine or how far does it fold

Can you make it telescopic, for want of a better word, rise it up when your in transport position and drop it down then when your in the field.
I'd say who ever supplies the seeder would have a good idea also of how to do it

Depending on how chunky the steel is in the headstock, your probably could get a mounting point on it for heavy box to stick out the rear under/between the gangs on either side. It would need to take up on 1ton weight accounting for shock loading when full mind. Join up the 2 strutts poking out the back just to give it somewhere to hold it seady off and not overly weight carrying

Would there really be a ton weight of pressure put on it?

Bearing in mind i have and image of welding a plate on the back of the A frame of the headstock and heavy box going out with no more real weight bearing.
Depends on if all the weight is carried on the one beam i think, hopper will be 50kg/100-150 for steel/box of seed will have you out at 250kg handy after that leverage and bouncing around will cause fatigue soon enough?

A neighbour has a 4.5m one with a hatsberg(sp?? Big red steel air seeder that generally comes on einbocks) seeder and the tines just fold up pointing out to either side, I'm not exactly sure if there's just a different linkage on the rods that keep yours level or what but the main frame is no different as far as I know

Edit; it could possibly be that those bars are just bolted to the bolt that you can see on the bottom of the folding wing just above the wheel but I'm not 100% certain

It's the same as this one, can't see what way it's setup though

Have to pull the handbrake on the zetor to stop it beeping when you leave the seat. it won't move off if your not on the seat either....bit of a nuisance when you lean out the back window to watch the PU hitch and it doesn't move back to the trailer.

Have one of them too, but even with that it's hard to see if your're trying to get a buried drawbar....... I told ya I had all the toys.
DPF hasn't clogged since, It's unlikely to clog now......the air is a lot cleaner in the main dealers store

Would the weight of a dribble bar on the back of a slurry tank be noticeably different?

I wouldn't think it would make that much of a difference.

Not strictly ag related but for the diesel heads none the less.
Forgive the quality it was taken through the window of the tractor.

Work on the enniscorthy bypass.

One of my farmyards is now 60ft above the motorway with a sheer drop from the back of the pits where they went through a hill something like that. Great crack blasting twice a week.
When they started there was 50 new dump trucks delivered to the site in a few days and a new minibus for the polish drivers to collect them for work

Is that the new bridge across the slaney?

I think they will dig that hill in the picture down to half way and build a bridge from that across the valley and the local caim road will go under the bridge.

Then there is the new ross bypass which is going on now as well.
When finished the new bridge crossing the barrow will be the longest in Ireland??
