Roly,
nice plough. Curious about the headland length. Is it common practice to reverse rather than doing a loop turn?

Cheers,
Neil.

Hi Neil,i prefere reversing,its less strain on the plough not having to bounce
the back wheel over open furrows,and the tractor cant gouge out a hole in
the ground doing a loop,but its just my preference,and its only five times
around to plough the headland😊

Roly, with ten furrows pulled in one pass its no wonder the headland only takes four passes. Is that a MK 5 simba you have there ? Do you ever have axle problems ? We have a MK 5 that has its axle replaced with a heavy duty ROR axle.
