| We are starting our second season with one. It was a year old when we got it. We had one opener that was getting some mud beside it but tightened the scraper and its fine now. When we got it Deere put an updated opener on it and had a couple frame modifications.
The only down side is it takes more hp than we thought it would. We have a 15 shank unit. Originally put it on an 8310RT but that was not enough if we put it as deep as it would run. There are others around with larger bars and not much more hp unless thet are chipped. Last spring we had it on an 8345RT that was ok, could run in the 7's with it. This fall we have it on an 8360RT that is better and can get above 8 and keep it there for the most part. We are pulling double 1000 gallon trailers.
We have had absolutely no trouble with it sealing. That is one of its strong points. However if you slow down too much then it does not work as well.
The best part is in bean stubble there is virtually no track for water to run down. After the first rain you can't really see its been through the field. It follows the ground very well even over terraces.
We are happy with it. Email works I have a couple of videos of it if you are interested, can get others Monday. If anyone is close you are welcome to come ride. | |
