archbarch Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 not sure on model but its older than me. There is a contractor still using a D8 of similar age for mole-ploughing in cambs/beds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archbarch Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Mark not sure of his name it was 14 years ago when he did work on the farm i was working on, he used to do a fair amount for NIAB, i saw him last summer on a large setup. It makes me smile because the farms he does work on have the latest/biggest kit but when it comes to the serious stuff you still need the 'old boys' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
