You might not be high input or output but I'm pretty sure you don't go to bed hungry and you don't even have 500 or 1000 acres or whatever is 'viable' these daysAs with all photos,don't "necessarily" show the worst bits...editing
We're not high input high output.
You should see some of the conditions the old bus has drilled into.... If it'll cover,it'll grow.
My view on cage wheels
But when it's wet about here cage wheels tend to block up later than duals.
And to drag myself back on topic.
One of my best friends uses a mf drill behind a Massey 3060 2wd.
He does regularly put a 3mtr maschio ph on it with a fabricated bridge link to the drill. Seems to pull well (dualed of course)
4wd is very useful. Although we were one of the last farms in the area to have a 2wd tractor that was used for serious work.shhhhh...dont tell those yorkshire hill dwellers that, they wont believe you
Aparently to farm in yorkshire you need a 4wd and it nees to be blue
Blue
never seen a blue Renault before??? Ours is orange!

I just found a predigital photo of our 9ft 720 if its of interest. I think it was grass seeding. Also before anyone says, I know it hasn't got a turbo and the bales stacked the wrong way!

Not to suit 11-36s and 3-start configuration by any chance? We run about 4 sets of them. Much easier to take on/off than the set of Bettinson duals we have.
We also run a 19-row MF30 and either P/H lightly afterwards or tow a set of zig-zag harrows.

Size is correct but not 3star. Sorry. Similar to an earlier dual wheel clamp that has a hook that goes in a lug/loop on the tractor wheel. Then done up by tightening a nut (when it's not stripped its thread/stretch/rust fatigue etc etc)Not to suit 11-36s and 3-start configuration by any chance? We run about 4 sets of them. Much easier to take on/off than the set of Bettinson duals we have.

I just noticed this on FB in an article about Jeeps promoted as tractors. I bet the clutch suffered...

Stupid question I know, but I just bought a mf 30, and, with knowing almost nothing about them, is the width of the seeder measured from outside wheel to outside wheel (mine is around 3.5m this way) or from frame of the body (mine is 2.7m this way)., it has yellow wheels if that helps? Only asking as I'm looking for a grass seed box for it and need to know the correct size to look for!
