Life would be a lot simpler and better if we all still drove tractors like that there would not be a service van parked on every endrig

I used the very same subsoiler back in the eighties on a ford 7910 !

[@donnellykieranj]

The 6600 was and still is a terrific tractor.

[@jankotze1959]

Great video they done a lot of in the day

I love the 6600 and 7600 with the bubble cab. And I remember as a kid I used to visit a farm that had three and a 5000 with a standard cab. They were all shod with Kleber tyres like this one is. Not sure why you would run a single leg subsoiler through alreadt worked up ground? Seems a bit pointless but still a great video!

[@Tackytiger74]

The farmer across from us had one - also "R" reg. Still think they are one of the best looking tractors ever...

Hello! Can you help me with something please...what are they called/a link if you know. For door handles,knobs,frogs.

[@Tackytiger74]

What is the purpose of sub soiling?

[@JonDingle]

Land has a tendancy to get compcted and it creat a "pan" of very dense soil. Yhis can cause problems for crops and drainage. The subsoiler in the video is a single leg and subject to the type and size of tractor you can pull subsoilers with more legs. This type of subsoiler can be used as a mole plough as a form of temporary drainage.

@@JonDingle Many thanks. I'm guessing it's really only economical to do on smaller fields?
