Lord Ferguson Posted February 15, 2007 Author Share Posted February 15, 2007 Not yet Ben... I've been watching that little disc plough John... wondered if indeed it might be something different as well...

I don;t think they "work very well" on our UK soils so believe.. \ I used to use a Volac disc plough a few years ago and can whole heartedly say that it was the biggest heap of excrement i've ever had the misfortune to use, it wasn't too bad on the really light soil but most of the time there was more stubble showing than soil \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
