this is the view from in the cab. the grey box on the left is the control box for the plough. you have to press the button so the plough goes through the cycle. you have to press it about 4 times. the black and red box is for his drill. it is new this year and is a 8 meter Vaderstadt. never saw it because of the weather. the box lower down is the auto steer. it is not used for the ploughing as it needs another module to make it work in the furr.

ye the auto steer is some bit of kit they are some nice bits of kit nick. this was also in the field just before i left a 8310. was going to be traded in against a 7930 but only got offered 20 grand for it so the kept it and didn't bother with the 79.

What a fleet :o That 85 looks like a pretty productive machine with all that kit on board. Good they kept the 8310 though, weapon and a half that. Farm here have an 8100 which they superseded with a 7830 only they kept the 81 aswell, it's mint. Hell of a plough there too. 8)

only machines up our way that dont run in the furr are the tracked one my other mate runs his 10 in the furr on a 8530 as well.

tidy yoke see there taking advantage of the small weather windows to get stuff done

sure were the drill was supposed to go on that night but it started to rain.
