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 .

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?

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.

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