Anyone got a spare wheel or two for the MF pigtail cultivator at the first post. We’ve been cracking on but one wheel has collapsed. Just “riding” it along on one wheel at present !!!

Sadly our wheels are both knackered too............

Badged as MF23 but made by Bomford, I believe.....
Neither sleepers or telegraph poles are listed in 'Accessory' above
Be careful you guys don't jeopardise your warranties ?

Using the old tume. This was our main tool after the plough but doing half a job of knocking the capped lumps left after the drill together

I think a lot of us are overdoing it. Mind we had 95HP on the 3.5m and I thought it was a good match.

Everything is to heavy now. Fancy tyres yes. But back in the day a 2640 would have been big - only wich we had the tyre technology then. On the farm I worked on we did run a few cultivation tractors on Trelleborgs at 6psi. But that was rare.

Pulled our 4m ABT cultivator (bet no one remembers them) out of the hedge yesterday to sort some spud ground that we had gone through with the X Press. Made a fantastic job ready for the tine drill. Mind you it was behind 200hp. So it was a relaxing couple of hours going up and down.
Me me me me. Love ours. More weld than harrow now. I missed a tidy one at a farm sale a few years ago and so wish i had bought it. I would use ours more if the adjusters worked and it wasn't so shagged.

4m rigid? Same as the one I used to drag about. Doing heck of a job by the looks of it, too.

We hooked our top tilth up to see if it would do a better job than the cultipress but allas both machines have been put back into the nettles and we had to hook the power harrow up,, doing a very good job but wearing some steel.
