ihatepoundland Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 and to take over when the going gets tough no doubt! These STX's seem to be getting more common, American iron getting a foot hold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMurF Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 The one next door to me did a demo for case a few years back with a 10+ furrow plough Started realy slow and went thruogh the gears poor case bloke was running to keep up with it What ever they do the quads sound awsome especially when they go up through the gears under load Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archbarch Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 she is fitted with auto-steer has to be the straightest ploughing ive ever followed he was ploughing headlands ok just the corners were a bit iffy but then any large plough isnt too good in corners.

ihatepoundland Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 bit off topic, but are larger ploughs generally better at straight furrows as the effect of one share going a bit astray on a hard patch (.etc) is compensated by having others in the soil?

MJB1 Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 depends on the 'hard patch' rob , nah hit something hard & the whole thing goes pearshaped , bigger plough bigger mess !, worst i've ever ploughed was a reclaimed orchard, stumps were all out , but the roots took the best part of 50 odd shearbolts , not the best days ploughing i've had \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Is it a figment of my imagination or does that plough have a pivot in the middle which makes it bend?? \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Is it a figment of my imagination or does that plough have a pivot in the middle which makes it bend?? \ More than likely as they are usually built in 2 sections so you can control your ins and outs better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
