drill worked a treat . We were very surprised how easily it pulled after watching a few YouTube videos of them on artics and quadtracs seemingly making hard work of it , the 8rx pulled it easily at 10k and at very low rpm . Not everyone’s cup of tea but we we keep this going until the weather turns and then revert back to the combi drill . Also the first drill we have had with a filling auger and it’s great , as quick and a lot safer .

It’s when it gets damper it will take some pulling. Pull my 4m behind a 4220 at 14-20k when it’s dry. Down to 10k when it’s wet. There is no substitute for speed with a freeflow. Anyway, serious drill envy. If I could find a tidy 8m i would snap it up in a second.

I don’t know how many were made but it’s taken me along time to find a good one .
