What ploughs are you guys using?
The main issue with 6f in my opinion is weight out back of tractor. Stress on everything when turning over or on a sidelings. Know guys that have went to 6f and back to 5f because 6 too big and breaking castings on linkage. They are running 200hp plus tractors.
Do any of you do any winter ploughing? Is grip never an issue?
Saw a 900 series fendt with a 6f otherday and looked a well matched outfit. That was a 100 clearance kv plough.
Proper land workhorse .
Another one from Jr firby, bombproof sisu engine, bombproof HI-TECH 40k box, 160hp, fits your bill, looks like airbag suspension (Bombproof) too possibly, certainly got a compressor.

NH 7050. Mine is 11 years old been very reliable and a pleasure to use.It doesn’t have any fancy electric hydraulic spools or Inteliview screen. It just goes and goes and pulls like a train.

How light is the land? I worked at 1 farm with a few JD 7710’s pulling 6f RB100 semi mounted KV’s, 20” wide doing 13-14kmh, much nicer job than the TM190 and 6f fully mounted kv that was with me.
a TM155 would pull a 6f semi mounted, a TM175/190 for fully mounted. JD 8400?

72hp is more than enough for 6 furrows

There you go...........
......it never caught on 'cos Ransomes 300 series ploughs were badly designed and fell apart but the idea is right and it shows what can be done.
