Yet those old boys were content with their lot.
Just grateful they were not being shot at I expect.
Grateful they had paid work for the most part.

If you'e serious, I think I know where there's a place that has a TM90 and it's plough - it won't have turned a track for a few years though, assuming it's still there.Can you find me one of each
Sorry, local name for disc coulters here.Skeaths?
Yep, you're right, a lot of them did. Their top coats were mainly old army greatcoats though.And I bet the old boys had a beret clapped on the side of their heads,
Probably the list price wouldn't bear much resemblance to what you actually paid back then - they'd be 25% off before you even stated talking in the 70's.Quite a significant price even then surely?
I think you are confusing the old Maxxum with the much larger Magnumwouldnt like 6 ive seen a 5 on a 5130, relativly light weight Rabe with slats but even a 5150 wouldn't do 6 its not a patch on a 6810
I thought the sameI think you are confusing the old Maxxum with the much larger Magnum
He may be on about a 5130, I know of one or two pulling 5, including mine back in the day. 6 is a no tho. A friend did pull a six furrow semi mounted kv with a john deere 6800 of ballested up. It managed well.I think you are confusing the old Maxxum with the much larger Magnum

IF! Rtake your 6 and raise you oneView attachment 908091
If! I ever bought another plough it would be push pull 3 on the front 5 on the back but 12" furrows.take your 6 and raise you oneView attachment 908091
There 14” wouldn’t lift 5 very well without weight on the front tried the neighboursIF! R

Funny I was going to mention a135 pulling 3 furrows and then a 272 pulling 4 it's not the pulling it's the lifting.50 years ago dexta and 3f 12 inch plough now 85 hp and 14 inch 3f because the ground is heavier because contractors ploughed the clay up. On better soil mf 6475 will pull dowdswell 6f semi easy at 5 to 6 inches.....all depends on the conditions!
We had a 5150 power shift maxxum a few years ago and it wouldn’t touch the 5f vari width lemken plough we had at the time so got rid and got a jd6900 and it pulled it no problem, running a 6f semi mounted now behind 200hp +He may be on about a 5130, I know of one or two pulling 5, including mine back in the day. 6 is a no tho.

There's 5 furrows and 5 furrows, mines a dowsdwell dp8b on 14 inch a full vari width plough would be way too much. Those 6000 series deeres were a hell of a tractor, and I'm not a deere fan.We had a 5150 power shift maxxum a few years ago and it wouldn’t touch the 5f vari width lemken plough we had at the time so got rid and got a jd6900 and it pulled it no problem, running a 6f semi mounted now behind 200hp +
Just a discussion that arose from the tedium of lugging 4 furrows along at 4.5mph with 100hp in a biggish field.
Hypothetically 20k ish budget, comfortable cab, realistically 150hp plus, any non exotic mainstream badge, not as old as TW 25 era. Just idly batting thoughts around, over lunch. No 40k budget for, eg 6930 etc; sooner have 2 cheaper but still capable horses in the stable for the money, bigger and smaller ones.
DD not an option, so if you are going to disturb soil at all, may as well do it cheaply in one pass with plough.
Any ideas?
