Do u know for all the modern outfits costing umpteen thousands, I bet they struggle to place seed and do as tidy of a job as your set up.

Good question. The ground was travelling pretty well and they didn't seem necessary, really. It had just rained and the top half inch was damp (hence the amount of soil stuck to the wheels) but below was firm. And I know - doing 3 things in one pass actually, which would have taken 3 passes two years ago, in a tractor that was far less comfortable. This is what progress looks like here - i.e. using a 27 year old tractor with an implement on the back that was possibly horse drawn when it first came in.
Ha - that's very kind of you, but there is still (plenty) of room for driver error!

Anybody else noticed rolling this year more people have got there eye in for straight lines or maybe more using GPS. Certainly far more going for the perfect stripes rather than the block up and down.

Can i just advise you alter the draw bar to get the drill level, or it will tend to put front coulters in deeper than the rears, moving the bolt on bit one way or another will do it.
Dad used to have a 13 coulter on those small wheels.

165 from memory.
I ploughed 3 acres for wildbird cover yesterday with a similar plough . I think it was new in either 1978 or 79. A 14" Bamford Kverneland.
Tractor is a 1989 Zetor 8145.

Ooh any more pics of the tractor? My uncle had a range if them when I was a kid.

Probably 4 to 4.5 hours. Fairly challenging ground conditions. . Black boggy stuff in some. More shallow soil over lots of stones.

Here you are. And it's big sister.
Where was this taken? Looks quite like a set up near me here in Co. Down?

Same one I'd imagine.
Yes, I don’t think they have any machinery that isn’t classic.

Was shifting some big stumps for a friend during the week, the benefits of having no tail door.

Fond of them myself. I used to have a purple Ursus 385 as well , but sold it shortly after buying a 06 Zetor 10641 2 1/2 years ago.
I have always loved the super q Fords , especially 7810 or 7610 such as @Vincent is using. What sort of hours are on either of them?
