Down Force kit on TC45DA

[gregkabob]

Jim, I got to drill a few holes this weekend and it work good. I say good and not fantastic because when you hit hard rock no amount of down force is going to get it without a rock bit on the end.

Now when I hit that hard clay, tree root or soft sand rock it helped a bunch. Just add some down force and when it started biting again back off and let it do it's thing.

I think I do need to spend the $$ on a rock bit as I have run into a lot of rocks on the property. Any reccomendations on where to buy?

I agree that if you have a high flow for the return the fill port would be the best place to tap into for the return.

I would say to get in touch with Belltec in Belton, TX. Here is a link.
Make sure you are sitting down when you ask for a price. They do have a distributor in Oklahoma or I think you can buy direct and have them shipped to you.
