Who's that to ?It makes a decent job in good ploughing land, with the UCN bodies. Certainly cheap enough.
Yes depth stops.Does the newer behind the headstock have two adjustable stops for turnover adjustment for each way?
Im only 105 hp so thought a DP7 would be a good match
the dp8’s look a bit too light weight
Who did .....You said it was a pile of shite, they weren't that bad, they just didn't quite seem to pull in a nice equilibrium somehow.

Are you saying the front mounted turn over ram models have better front furrow adjustment?A standard later DP7 with rear mounted turnover ram is not very operator friendly in terms of fine tuning, eg; the front furrow width adjustment doesn't move the plough across the headstock, it tinkers with the alignment. They are nonetheless fairly bombproof if unabused.
Mine is a long clearance 4f 14", and the IH 956 2wd I had would not boss it.
The front furrow looks along way back - is that distance normal from the headstock ?It makes a decent job in good ploughing land, with the UCN bodies. Certainly cheap enough.View attachment 1151451
Not really too flinty around here. But understand your ‘point’In our shallow soils the ucn boards do a good job without going too deep, and a dp7 d2 was perfectly good at pulling them along. The big problem on flinty soil is the amount of time changing metal, so something with knock on tungsten points and hard wearing wings would be preferable to reduce downtime.
Sorry, am I confused, I thought you were saying yours was from the Isle of Wight.That's very nice of you , I thought the dp7 was a pile of shite .
That is actually on 600sThat’s doing a lovely job.
what size tractor tyres are you running ?

That looks a very nice set up.View attachment 1151477
It is a long clearance version, with room for full set of discs, which is probably as long as a 5 furrow normal one.
The older standard dp7 with the front mounted ram, was shorter to the extent that the front disc when fitted was really close to the headstock.
