6430 performance question

drkllr · Mar 26, 2011

I am in middle tn. Those pictures are from the total rework of that hay field. dates are correct that field has been really putting out the hay since i beat up the ground so much.. Started with the plow then dick to smooth then went in with chisel plow and broke the bottom of it over 30 " deep in a cris-cross patten then back in with the disk spent over a month working the dirt. packed the top so that the drill would not leave tracks and over triple the tonage from that field since. I have had nieghbors paying me to do their fields now. lookin for a new disk and packer my old krause has seen alot of ground.

Are you running liquid ballast? What air pressure are you running?

rear tires are fluid filled and i would have to check the psi. I am trying to remember i think they are about 20psi but would have to double check to make sure

A friend has a 6420. No FEL, but front weights. It seems to have more than enough power, but not enough traction. And it wants to "power-hop" at times.

the fluid helps alot if i take the loader off i get the hop.

Same combination I got on my 6420.
