[QUOTE="Ruston3w, post: 7708400, member: 50284"] We used to do moleing for an old boy who was a convert to direct drilling in the '70s and bought an IH511 drill. He carried on after burning and the land just got harder and harder to work as he struggled with it. Between my boss and myself we tried just about every combination of straight disc, concave "straw-bury" disc, plough skimmer, forward facing knife, backward facing knife, Matrot beet harvester disc....all too fancy and either bent, broke or got wiped out by a dopey lad and a D6 having done too many hours. One day we started again, lets do something simple (like the drawbar pin)....made a shoe out of box just loose on the drawbar with a couple of inches vertical float, weld a lump of 1" plate on the bottom of the box...maybe 10" long so it has some weight , clip the corners off the leading edge......never welded/repaired it in the years I drove for him, any trouble, pull drawbar pin, slide shoe over and off you go. Not so pretty with little heaps of straw dotted about but it did work. Richard. [/QUOTE]
