chris.watson Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 lovely example of a great tractor. judging by the light soil and conventional plough used, i would say it was struggling a bit. and judging by the smoke it was belching out, some attention needed somewhere.

britainswomble Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 (edited) Great tractor! I demonstrated an 8630 when they first came out and particularly liked the gearbox. It was easy to use, easy to alter the forward / reverse speed match, and you could engage reverse gear at full forward speed and full throttle. The last feature was great for scaring the crap out of prospective buyers, who had never been in one before. I can't remember what the model name of the plough was that I used; but it was made by Opico, or imported by them. It was a high speed one pass plough with square mouldboards which had a teflon face. Not sure if it was called a Square Plough. Anyone else remember it? Edited March 11, 2012 by britainswomble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGEL FORD Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Yes Will, you're right, OPICO Square plough it would have been, the rear of the body being a mirror image of the front which came into use as the frame was pushed from left to right or vica versa for the return pass, ie a reversible that looked like a conventional or "runaround" plough.
