Ploughing with the Giant John Deere 7280R and Eight-Furrow Kverneland.

A large mixed farm in the Eden Valley with all its own kit.
Filmed in 2014 in Cumbria, England.
NB Some people wish to know more details of location. I cannot do this because I always assure farmers of anonymity, and they are happy with this. Without it, some would turn me away, to your loss as well as mine!

Huge Plough! What HP is that Deere?👍👍

[@balmesh]

Not sure - be over 3000 I suspect.

[@patrickc8190]

280

[@jeffreystephenson6946]

Giant 280 used to be a giant now it’s just average in size

[@balmesh]

Average? you must be joking!!

[@jeffreystephenson6946]

In the 1980 s 100 hp was a big tractor 40 yrs later we have 600 hp And 200 + hp on silage trailers . Just look at PX farms smallest tractor 400hp

[@balmesh]

But you overlook the fact that MF 35s and 135s are still scraping the muck, NH 125s on the raking . . . .

[@jeffreystephenson6946]

Average was perhaps the wrong word But a 7R is no longer a giant think fendt 1050 JD 9 RX and Quadtract 600 hp And now most dairy farms are so large and modern that an automated system of chain and lathes do the scraping I am not trying to be big head I drive a JD 130 R with a 4 m power harrow and a Heston 4750 baler we still have a 35 hardly turns a wheel now Still have my JD 2650 bought new in 1991 blows grain hauls of the grain drier and mows hay The biggest we have is a JD 6150 remapped to 200 hp
