Yes. So later in the season with the wheels narrow I can earth up. Because the wheels will be about half way up the banks I will need to alter the angle of attack so the point digs in. So it does not dig to deep I can lower the skid at the back.

thats what i was on about in the carrot lifter post frankie.you could do with wheels that straddle 3 rows so you can ridge the centre one  

[Bigbadfrankie]

mmmmmnn :?: . getting the wheel centers to 1050mm is a bit difficult I did think about one banker behind each wheel but the ground clearance is insufficient. So the only real option is to get the wheels as narrow as poss and go down in between the ridges.

[Bigbadfrankie]

Are the wheel widths adjustable on the 350

[shaun]

i have never thought about realy frankie they are 18" i know you can get a extention for the rotors to make it 24",
the wheels bolt on like a car wheel so it wouldnt be a problem to knock something up

[Bigbadfrankie]

Potatoes are a problem for us little gardeners. But i believe that a strategy can be developed to deal with the problem. In fact its not a problem its an opportunity for development. Its a rational between traction, wheel width and  ground clearance

and horse power  

[shaun]

so do you realy think this will work or will i be hissing into the wind


this depth skid comes out and i drop the yoke in and hey presto
i could do with the dimensions  of that bar that drops into the slots and i need a ridger
so do you realy think this will work or will i be hissing into the wind


cant get a better picture this ones of ebay

I think it would work but i am unsure how wide apart the banks would be.
Spuds need to be in rows 18" at least. How you would avoid damaging the spuds in the ground is not clear to either. With mine i have to make shallow trenches at 350mm by driving one wheel along an existing trench until i have enough rows. Then put the seed in every other row. Then set the wheels to the narrowest width and bank as deep as poss so the trenches with the seed are covered. it all sounds long winded but it only takes a few mins to do lots of rows.

Nice bit o kit that.. would be just the thing on the back of me land rover... looks a bit heavy !!

[Bigbadfrankie]

Thankyou. And its not as heavy as it looks. My nippon plough is a lot heavier :shock:

is that the make of it frankie NIPPON ?

[Bigbadfrankie]

I am not sure Shaun but one of the threads on here was about a Nipplo Matsui Plough and I recond thats tha dude who knocked up mine :?

(you hold it i'll weld it)

[shaun]

no the only reason i asked was nippon make concrete breakers for JCBs etc
i'm looking for a spring for the howard mate,you know the pull bar where you can swivel the handles to one side well ive lost it,not the bar just the spring.any ideas where i can get one ?

[Bigbadfrankie]

is it about 4 to 5 " long and a expansion spring between the two handles
