Gav836 Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I've had it suggested to me about making some implements for the older tractors like the 5/7000 being brought out by Britains this year. I quite liked this idea so I've spent the last hour or so making up an old dutch or levelling harrow out of some plastruct and a couple of crumblers off a spare Lemken Gigant i had laying about, it still needs some teeth putting on the bars and a headstock made but let me know what you think of it so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted February 4, 2007 Author Share Posted February 4, 2007 We worked on the drag it from the stinging nettle principle, if one machine wouldn't do the job on that farm there was another one in the nettles that would :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
