Has anyone used them ? On heavy chalky boulder clay , will never plough in furrow so I am questioning the need for no28’s ?
depends as ever on the type of ground they arent a silver bulletI've no direct experience of 28s but I understand that they make a better job of full inversion which is why they became standard fitment as well as the capacity for large tyres. The increase in draft is quite small. 5%?
Do you find them a hard pull 9 s 5 x 9s here takes as much pulling as 6 x28sNo 9's are good for deeper ploughing, I've gone from them to 28's, didn't want to plough deeply, but did want better inversion which the 28 s are giving, but I do not see any improvement in wider furrow bottom !
Only a seasons experience with the 28 s, and I was trying to keep to maybe no deeper than 7 inches, I use a packamat as well to close the top.Do you find them a hard pull 9 s 5 x 9s here takes as much pulling as 6 x28s
I had no 9 on my KV plough I ran a few years back , didn't find them hard to pull as such but not deep ploughing like you root boys ,
Only experience of no 28 is that I work and drill behind one on some variable land ,,,,, not clay but red marl ,,,,, yes it inverts the furrow well giving excellent trash burial ,,,,, but there is a downside to this , it takes longer for the ground to dry out and to weather ,,,,,, possibly not important on free draining easy ground but def a issue if ploughing for a autumn crop on unkind ground ,,,,,,, reckon I can be on the ground up to a week sooner with our Besson , okay not as nice a ploughing and no where near the inversion but more open to the weather.
Very good point , in one of the pictures I have put up it says how the no 19 bodies leave a more open finish . As we currently have 150 ha of land weathering down for spring beans or is worth taking into consideration . Has anyone tryed the furrow splitters , look simple enough to bolt on ?
