[QUOTE="Timbo1080, post: 6937752, member: 3693"] Bought a 1909 shortly afterwards, as a backup. Turns out that for the backend of Autumn, the 750A would still go long after the KRM. Drilled about 25Ha of stubble turnips in May (IIRC), behind some land drainage work, some direct into our nicer stuff (40% clay, 40% Silt), and the rest was in the recently drained areas. Ground was very hard. It put it in fine. Sold it last Autumn (of all times!). Definitely felt that it would have coped very well with the wet on a couple of the light contract farms, but wouldn't have put it anywhere near the clay. Kept telling myself that if the 750A wouldn't go, nothing else would, so felt happier about the sale. New owner is chuffed as punch & local enough for me to see his crops which look very well. Personally don't think I would look at it if you're looking to drill into either hard clay, or as a "wet weather" drill on clay. But then there's Clay and CLAY. There's also drainage and DRAINAGE.
