Ha ha you try working with that in a 2 acre or even 1 acre field!!

I'm for an 18 acre field on monday can't wait its long so a challenge to keep straight and less lifting and turning, today i only sowed 43 acres, up a mountain and over  . . . wait for it . .

1 7 acre field

2 8 acres fields

The rest none were above 4 acres!!! smallest was less than half a bl00dy acre!!

Hence i hope this answers why i don't pull a roller plus my type o drill not really suitable (mounted) and getting up tight lanes etc impossible.

the odd massey drill still about but slowly but surely all 1 pass systems like mine

The soil is looking good. Very nice pictures you have made.

Will be the stones used for something?

Texas

We have a low section of rough ground next to a river, The stones get piled there, maybe eventully get subsoil and topsoil make it into field in a few years

just seen this topic now, i see on the first page you ploughin on  6930 with a 4f kv plough, well my mate has 5f vari width kv plough that can plough upto 7 furrows (width) and theres still plenty of power to be had :P

it depends on a load of factors not just power  ;)  depth ,soil type, wat mould boards etc so dont argue who can do better  ;)

One other factor would be that it also takes ££££££££££££££££ to buy these machines just because some one else uses a 5 furrow on suach and such tractor dont mean every one else has to, at the end of the day you have to run a viable business to pay for these machines

There have been 6 times more JD 30 series sold than the 10 Series, and still less warrenty claims than were on all of the 10 series. . . .Come on. . . Not got figures on the 20 series though ha ha!

like you say, it would be more impressive having a 6 pot on a 4 pot chassis :P

I think it is possible,

Take the battery away from front and theres a cylinder saved already!! Radiators . .Um . . cab roof?
