I would have thought the first number should be upside down really, and even then....
An export lorry would be the most suitable destination for it.

3 stick 12speed was a great gearbox,well for a glorified 185 it was.

Anyone any experience of a Sima/Great Plains Centurion drill?
Looks a fine drill, just wondering are there many out there or has anyone seen them work?

It was the firm’a last drill together with another version with a vertical wavy disc allowing it to be be used for no-till compared to this cultivator drill. Had some nice features but only a handful were ever made. Went to see one of the prototype units in Scotland still in Simba colours. You will be able to find the article on the profi test centre

Thanks for that @Merv_B
Do you happen to remember roughly what era that review was? I don't get Pocketmags and don't wish to try, will give a look in the heap of mags in the office.

Anybody run something similar? Seems well priced and would be a good improvement on output to our 3m.

The problem with them is in really soft going the wheels have to carry all the weight and they can sink in blocking the coulters or at least that is what I remember hearing about them

I have a couple of sets of rowcrops and don't know what price to put on them, any help would be appreciated.
Have a pair of solid centre 420/80/46's 50-60% good and a pair of 14.9 r30's slightly under 50%.
Have a pair of 320/90/50's as good as new and a pair of 270/95/36's 50% good.
All to suit large MF's, middle sized JD's or Fendts and most Valtra and Deutz.
TIA.

Ideal swarth for the wagon in a good first cut.

The 20’ cut model yes.

If I was in a drier climate I’d be looking at fitting a grouper belt.

Local lad had that swarther fitted to a John Deere mounted mower . It work well in heavy grass . It was the mower was the jd mower was the issue . It couldn’t handle extreme grass crops .
