Combi drilling close behind plough autumn 2019?

[Flat 10]

Started ploughing OSR stubble and following with combi on some of our easier ground. Few dodgy spots but generally going well.
Headlands where hedge trimmer has travelled are sopping wet though!View attachment 837495View attachment 837496

235hp, obviously OTT for a 3m combi. About 9kph.

With luck and a dry few days you may get away with it when the seeds up

Weather looks a bit catchy today so we’re ploughing and drilling some lighter land after vining peas ..View attachment 837677View attachment 837682

That’s what autosteer was invented for, so you both can take photos of each other

Ploughed 14 acre after spuds should get 13 in decent the other but will be porridge!

Not very hopeful of getting the last 25 that they're lifting just now when there's water lying in most of the beds in the hollow and the 25 that was dug a month ago seems to be keeping the ducks happy on they're new pond so it's not gonna go either

Say cheese??
It’s like high noon in the cabs, who’s quickest on the draw camera.

Good job mind, take it there’s a satellite steering both tractors there.

Finished our last field today. One of the best of the lot as it turned out.

Previous field was wetter and wasn’t burying the seed as well but it’s all in the ground now.
