It's still here, this is to allow us back to ploughing and drilling at the same time, new pilot on the blue power, the 290 is actually older than the 270

Had a weak moment today 
. But I’ve always wanted I nice 8m Freeflow , I’ve had a 3m ,4m and a 6.6m . Good 8 m are hard to find but this one had been mothballed in a shed 2 miles from my yard for the last 6 years !!! The owners I brought it from had brought it but never used it .

I fancy that is some plough you have on behind it also, do you have any pictures of that in work please?

Proper drill- and it's got the later model tyre rollers as well. Little bit of TLC and some bits and pieces and she'll be right as rain. Or are you going to convert it etc?

Only one from this year, was still on the 270 at this point, video from last year.

Previous - previous owners ran it at 7.2m from what I can make out as the outside 3 tines have been removed ( it are with it ) so we will put it back to 8m . Going to run it as it is this season apart from fitting a twin motor RDS Artimis drive system. I can’t make out if it has had a tyre removed from each side front packer as all our other free flows ran loose tyres but I’m not sure it was as loose as this . The future may include a Metcalf coulter conversion to lower the draft requirement and improve the DD capability.

Now that looks smart
How did crops do sown straight into stubble with front mantis? Doing more/same/less this year?

Really pleased with the wheat sown with it, doing more this year, the oats weren't a fair test as the 4 fields done with the mantis are always poorer, next spring we're splitting a field, half ploughed and half mantis.

I am supremely jealous. I have been looking for an 8m Freeflow for a while now, that is a beauty of a thing.
