[QUOTE="Heathland, post: 6897031, member: 429"] I run a Overum 6 furrow DX,which is the shear bolt model,sorry can not help with the plastic mold board job,but I get on very well with XL body on my fluffy/sticky heathland soils. Yes I have had a couple of issues with the plough,[ATTACH type="full" alt="20141030_075843.jpg"]873397[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="20141030_075859.jpg"]873399[/ATTACH] This is the ram which pushes the plough over too the side when it turns over,so the depth wheel doesn't hit the ground. The ram has been modified now by a local engineering company,they replaced the ends of the ram with a different type of fitting,and made me a couple of specific bolts so the threads clear the heavy duty ball joint.so its a tighter fit. The depth wheel is a bit of a black art to set up with its slip clutches,but works well when set up correctly. Do not get any form of lubricant in this area,even by mistake it can be a pita! I would definitely buy another even with the issues I've had. I only use genuine parts here they wear extremely well and fit perfectly. It makes a super level job,had no problems with trash /skimmers being buried and its great for leveling the last in field furrow out,I made a packer stopper which slips over the rear depth wheel stopper so it feathers the plough out so ,it leaves it completely level. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20180206_100035.jpg"]873401[/ATTACH] Yes I've had various different makes of plough here over the years,they all have their problems but the Overum is a joy to use,it gets a lot of stick on my limestone ground.
