Right, now I am treading carefully here as a non-expert......but your D5 seems to have 8 bottom rollers (and what appears to be an extended track frame) does this make it a XL or XW model?

Richard it is an LGP model with PAT blade. The XW was only a D6R variation it was long carriage and wide gauge but not so long and wide as the LGP mobel.
We have a D6MXL which is the newer model of the D5H but not an LGP just extra long.

Hi Roly, Hope you are well and the Harvest went well.
Couldn't agree withyou more. We were going to hire an 8 and box from Chris Lee earlier this year to strip under some HV lines but we got paid to push out with just a blade.
The chap operating the 360 is an ex scraper operator he and i are often disscusing the benifits of using scrapers. Graham used to work for Frenchs and Aj Andrews. Our problem is the councils and soil compaction issues. Irony is that this particular field will become a lake and so soil will only be used for landscaping. Stark contrast when you think the family has had to buy a 250 grand Combine on tracks to tread delicately across the fields.
Regards Gordon.

Gordon when i was a lad ๐Ÿ˜„ aj andrews stripped off a few fields at the bottom of my road in Reading,just off jct 11 opposite the engineers arms pub they become a housing estate
i spent all my spare time sat on the side of a D8h ,both D8,s on the job were cabless, if i remember correctly one of the operators was possibly polish
they used to work until dark and the old man used to come down the road and get me ๐Ÿ˜„
