[QUOTE="snipe, post: 8011020, member: 41148"] Went from a dowsdwell to jewel8 on slats, both 6f. Lemken a lot lighter plough, kinder on the tractor backend. Very easy to put wheel in transport mode. We plough at 18in wide furrows 10in deep and the slats really do brake the soil up better than a solid mouldboard. Only thing I find is you have to keep your speed down the make a good job, 7kph ish. Any faster and the skimmers through the soil onto the back of the mouldboard, then it touches the soil between the slats and gets thrown onto the top. I also made a bracket to put an extra slat at the top of the mouldboard as soil did not get turned over fully and boiled over them(might be due to ploughing at 18in) can buy some trash boards but we’re about £120 each 5 years ago.
