Pottinger Ploughs, Any Good?

[Farmer Piles]

As per the thread title really. We are looking to potentially change our plough and these seem to be incredibly good value. We are not doing a huge acreage as we mainly mintill. We have good forgiving soil but plenty of slopes as we are in Cornwall.
Many thanks.

Dealer up here sells them.....................................He's a world champion ploughman like his father..............sells plenty while competing with KV, Lemken, Kuhn, Amazone, NH, Maschio dealers in a 20 mile radius,
Seem to make a decent job.

I am sure your local Pottinger dealer will be happy to arrange a demo, and price up all wearing parts for you. I don't think you will be unhappy with the results.

Yeah we have had one for nearly 10 years now
Easy enough to pull and still in one piece
Does a half decent job, although we follow directly behind with combi so not to worried about what neighbours might think
This is ours in action on a Massey 5480

Thanks for the replies. Great footage Dman2, your land looks a lot tougher than ours, a lot of clay in that field?
We have the local dealer dropping a demo plough in either today or Monday. Will let you know how we get on

Good solid ploughs, was selling them up until the start of this year. Very good at burying surface residue having used one myself prior to going into sales. I’m a die hard Lemken fan myself after years of using them but would recommend a Pottinger to anyone and would definitely be my choice over a Kverneland plough. As with any plough, body and skimmer choice is critical.
