I run a xerion 3300 only mow with her at min and pump a bit of slurry with her when stuck. Seen a lemken 6 metre folding drill on bocassion,s website came off a xerion anybody seen this outfit working or what would it be like? Sow about 1500 acres wit 2 3 metres at min. 5-10 acre fields very common!

Not seen the Lemken in action but know a chap who converted a 6m Amazone to go on a Xerion 3300 with a press on the front. Dealing with some serious hills too on min-till and ploughed ground.

he should get a nice 7 fur semi mounted plough then
James it probably wouldn't have the power to pull a 7 furrow plough going by the poor display it put on trying to pull Clive wiers topdown cultivator.

price i can understand but with seed tank in miiddle not sitting on top of harrow surely the weight distribution would help with compaction esp with the xerion on 710's

What is usually pulling the topdown?
Ah yes a Case Quad trac, hardly a
fair comparison!!!
Would guess it would pull it better than a BigM or the T7050?
Its just completed its 6th year mowing grass and has had VERY little money spent on it and will go ANOTHER six years, just slightly better value than a MKII BigM!!!
Did it not make a joke of the tractor pulling sleigh@ Mullahead?!!!

You reckon the drill is good value@ approx 60k?!!!
What would the total weight be when that hopper is full of grain?!!

Comparison? nah, just the benchmark!
Xerion isn't a draft tool, its a systems tractor, suited quite well to drilling as its relatively low weight for the HP.
In theory yes it could if you had 4 shut offs on each half of the drill but in practice it would be a complete bollix to keep track of your tram lines, plus you'd need 12 shut off in total to allow for the even trams. What part of the world are you from and if your who I think you are you'd probably be better sticking to a 3m drill as this set up is going to be far to heavy!
