Does anyone recall an article in Power Farming, some years ago now, about a tow behind power unit, might have been called a YOKE.

wasnt there something in practical farm ideas?
if i recall correctly a tractor with power harrow, and then this unit with a power harrow running along side, controlled from the tractor?
There was also another one in CT where a bloke near Oxford had a 4755 or something with 2 power frames so he could pull 3x4m Lely PH. I think I saw it from the M40 once but hard to tell at 70mph.

Saw that once or twice from the road when I had a harvest job down near oxford. 20 years ago 😥

I remember that. Didn't they have it behind a TW35? All my Power Farmings went missing.

Article I remember had it behind a Ford , But same thing I'm sure.

I remember the YOKE now, different to the one I was thinking about, the one with the second power harrow running alongside is what I was thinking of, but all interesting bits of kit. Do any still exist?

I have a hazy memory of a Ford tw or 8210 with a power harrow on the back, with a bridge link swung out to the side towing another power harrow. Can't remember what the engine was but I think it had belt drive through a combine axle and speed variator. Might of had combine gearbox as well? It was in the Power farming magazine that used to be printed separate to Farmers Weekly.

That sounds like the one I'm thinking of
