Factory fit or home add on? Really smart idea in any case. Do you think it takes a noticeable amount more pulling?Yes, sub soilers.

Is there really a need to work that land anymoreJust a little video of the demo Puma 150 & Alpego combi
It was pressed in front of the combi at the request of the contractors customer, can only do as askedIs there really a need to work that land anymore
Our seed beds are what you are starting with

A full set is equivalent to a extra furrow so I've been told. I know one or two neighbours who run every other one instead of a full set.Factory fit or home add on? Really smart idea in any case. Do you think it takes a noticeable amount more pulling?
Assume you don't have any bog oaks there?

I find the furrow press takes a lot of extra pulling. On heavier soils sometimes I just have to abandon it. Really like the subsoiler idea though, must help wherever there has been heavy traffic.There used to be a lot but over the years we’ve dug them out. I’ve broke 3 shear bolts today so am going to take them out a bit to the next hole. We don’t have any at our Prickwillow Farm, but at the land we hire for spuds (only a couple of fields away) I have to take them off as I’d be breaking shear bolts every end.
We used to be the same but have gone to a full set as I think it’s better. We have 180hp on there and it does struggle in some places. I’ve heard that the furrow press adds equivalent to another furrow too?
Generally ploughing at 8km bought down to 6km on the heavy bits. Using about 25L ha average.
Looks good though. Why first day? Been that wet?View attachment 601260 Yesterday was the first day out for the drill this autumn and will probably be the last! Usually drill 250-350 acre but the ground is too wet

Unfortunately this isn’t our land! It’s proper boys land, but it’s just dry enough now. At the same farm I was drilling grass seeds at the start of September and got rained off before I got the headlands drilled, it’s never been dry enough to get them drilled since!!Looks good though.

You have my sympathyUnfortunately this isn’t our land! It’s proper boys land, but it’s just dry enough now. At the same farm I was drilling grass seeds at the start of September and got rained off before I got the headlands drilled, it’s never been dry enough to get them drilled since!!
It’s really been a shocker, next to none winter barley drilled and very little wheat, if fact there’s a fair bit of combining to do, including us
Good idea ?Yes, sub soilers.

Good idea ?
Got them on first and third furrows of my 4 furrow Lemken.
Only run them on the clay where I know there is no big stones lurking but then it's really only my heavy stuff than needs subsoiling.
Think it really helps. In years like this as much for letting water down to gravel depth over drains as any subsoiling effect.
Do you use them every time you plough or just every couple of years ?
