[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 5917178, member: 2119"] The problem we find going onto ploughed land is that even with duals on, the rear mounted power Harrow tends to fill in the wheelings and leave a soft bit in the middle, even though it looks level. So, we tend to "split the wheelings", I.e. Do a run then do the next run with the front centre of the bonnet going up the edge of the previous run so that all the ground has had a dual wheel over it. Next run, do a completely new run, no overlap. We run twice as fast on the ground as we are harrowing twice but at least we are consolidating full width. This must sound like madness to no tillers and in some ways it is, but if we can't avoid ploughing it's our only option. We have tried furrow presses but don't find them very effective for a big increase in fuel consumption. They also don't help with weathering and drying. In an ideal world I'd go for a three wheeler with the front wheel in the centre as the Dutch do it. Proper job, not a horse with wheels on. [/QUOTE]
