Hello all, I took the D7 out for a little subsoiling this afternoon. I was going about 20" deep and pulling in 3rd gear. It pulled it fine, but I went through one spot where I had to put it into second to get through. What a great afternoon, nice day, good running D7, and black dirt.
Enjoy the photos.

I've just realised that that D9 in Quad's pictures is right hand drive ! Presumably this was modified locally (In The Netherlands) for ploughing so the driver can easily see down the furrow.
I also discovered last year that Diesel 75s (and, I think early D8s) could be factory supplied with either right or left hand drive controls.
At the Little Casterton show, here in the UK I have seen two Diesel 75s one right and one left hand drive. I bet the right hand version is pretty rare !
Does anyone know when this factory 'option' was discontinued ?

Here's a Cat D9E purpose-built plow tractor , build for M v Damme in the early 60s.
There has never been a blade on it !!
Was used for deep plowing.
The seat and control levers and pedals are moved to the right side of the tractor for a better view in the plow ditch ( ore how do you call this in English ? )
Note the lights in the grill !!!!!!!!
The tractor still there in the Netherlands , now in the possession of two brothers.
