Rubber track helps metal track

[Rolyd8k]

finished ploughing last saturday with help from the rubber track challenger,
a lot of chopped straw to get rid of, but its 8 12" furrows buried it ok,its
the first time my son,s ploughed, apart from a wobble hear and there
he did good the challenger was faster than me but with 10 14"
i covered 73 acres to his 32, but i did spend more time in the seat and
we beat the rain

Must admit I really enjoy ploughing - albeit on rubber tyres, nevertheless its a very satisfyling job

all the best

Dito Richard,also one of my favourite jobs and of course if you dont
keep the furrows straight the neighbours are the first to tell you

Hi Graham,yes the challengers going well,and is master of that 8 furrow plough,but not
enough weight for the twin leg moleplough,plenty of power but after stopping and going
to start again it stood and spun,its now matched up to a single leg beam drainer,while
the big double is behind a D8k and that dont spin

Done a bit of mole ploughing myself with my 1940 D7 7M and a Miles Mole drainer. It's very hard graft !!
