Hi, is this for sale? Regards

Hi, it’s 2006.

Speak to Robin Mumby at plot feeds Laceby, Lincolnshire. He'll point you in the right direction

Look up a business called trackside air guns in Lincolnshire the owner did have a Lamborghini dealership some years ago but might hold some of the workshop manuals

These are pigtail tines with the Dutch opener C shank coulters. These have the bean coulters with them. 3.5 inch openers with the double outlet. I’ve 25 available looking for £100 per coulter

I have these for sale. Not sure if they’d fit a freeflow but were destined for a mini flow
