Our Tiling Setup

[steiger9330]

Here's a few pictures of our tiling equipment. We use a Steiger 9330 and a Johnson Drainage Plow. We use a Maxi-String trailer to hold the tile rolls. The Magnum 7110 is used to pull the Steiger when the Steiger can't pull the plow. We had to park the plow for a week until we get some rain to soften the ground up. We are still in a big drought since July.



This is what happens when the plow pulls hard. The tractor bogs down and the tires are already squatting. The drawbar then bends down. As you can see, it is permanently bent down about an inch.


Here's the magnum. It's a beast.

Nice pics. I really like the 9330

[steiger9330]

Thanks. I forgot to add it only has about 1800 hours on it. It needs a new exhaust. The current is almost cracked in half, and the height control on the three point hitch doesn't work, but we never use it. It is our best tractor with the Magnum second.

the 9330 was the same as the puma right? cause i think they were both avalible with a loader
nice magnum like thay say nothing kills a deere like a magnum (i only thought of that becouse its hunting season)

[steiger9330]

I think it's the same as the Wildcat and the puma is the same as the 9310. The magnum has about 3800 hours on it, and I think it is an '88 model. The front hitch came off of our 886, and we used it with our gleve corp side dresser that mounted on the front. Also, if anyone has any information on the Gleve Corporation, I'd be happy to hear it. We're gonna plow more tile in Saturday.

Hey nice 9330! we got a 9130 and it works really good.

Hahaha! I love that bent drawbar. That's a classic.....

Always handy to have a blade, Degalmen? I love our Degelman, fits nicely with the 86'.

Yep, we got a degelman. It's 12' wide, and you can see it in the background in front of the fertilizer spreader. I don't think we'll be putting anymore tile in until next year because it finally rained yesterday. Dad unhooked the plow. We have to fix some more suckholes now.

We have a bent drawdar just like that! It snapped one of the bolts on the side so are drawdar was swinging like crazy as we were doing the last outside round with our deep tiller.

[steiger9330]

That sucks. Did you have to buy a new drawbar. I afraid to see how much one costs.

[ManitobanFarmerKid]

Now there's a local welding shop that bent it back and reinforced it with alittle extra steel on top and bottom. Didn't cost as much as we thought. Other then that we just bought a couple extra bolts.

Dad said our drawbar broke on our Wildcat III with an older tile plow we used to have, and I think he had someone weld it.

We've broken the drawbar off the 8650 several times. Kind of a weak link for that tractor......
