A lot depended on the tyres in those days, fitting new radials transformed them.If the chalk ground was wet, you could get embarassed by the 6700. If you were drilling uphill, it would come to a stop as soon as you put the coulters in and then you would find yourself going backwards, so it was time to clean all the coulters out and go round again at speed to gain enough oomph to keep going. I had a very hairy moment when a rotospreader jacknifed and kept pushing me over the brow of a steep drop, but luckily the hedge got in the way.
They didn't pull as well as the downmarket IHs we had at home although the cab was vastly superior.
