[QUOTE="Gav, post: 4671, member: 544"] He thinks there's too bigger gap between the beds, something I think will have been sorted by altering the ridger as no one had noticed that one body was set 2 inches further from the centre than the other until he mentioned that the beds always looked wide so I checked it. It had been like it from new as well (1999) as you could see it on the paintwork!! I think I'm going to damage too many potatoes on 35" rows when it comes to harvesting them with 18" tyres on my tractor and those that I have spoken to have mentioned greens and lack of soil on the outside edges of beds at wide row spacings. 35" rows was chosen as the planter wouldn't quite go out to the 36" ones being aimed for!
