Used to plough with a master 140 5x14 slated .

I am told that Lemken are a grand plough - but my personal preference, only down to familiarity, would be the Kuhn. I just could never get used to the top link not running straight on a lemken. We run a Kuhn 6F slatted and very happy with it

The Kuhn 4f will be just as heavy as the Lemken 4+1 oi expect

It certainly looks it.

If you hang the 5th furrow on the Kuhn ,you will need plenty of iron on the front end and lots of back end lift power ,they are heavy ploughs.
Biggest downside with slats is they don't roll sand land over very well if its powder dry ,just push it into shape ,bit of moister makes all the difference ,land with some substance though is another matter.

Personally I would go Lemken every time. I have a 1989 Lemken DL120 4+1 which is the predecessor once removed to the one your looking at and it still does a great job. They don’t seem as heavy as some of the others but are strong.
