Great video guys! Keep it up with the great work!

Very interesting.We need that here in Ireland ! Stones and rocks are a big problem here also.

love valtra

[@roberthiggins6401]

Is that quite a new concept? Makes a pretty good job. What did you work the ground down with after our is that an upcoming video? That's one hell of a rock you pulled up for only ploughing four inches deep!

[@sandersfarmvids]

We’ve had contractors refuse to plough these fields again due to rocks which was the reason for getting it. Think they are mainly a European thing but it’s just the way ploughing was done everywhere back in the day before everyone went to giant ploughs going as deep as possible. We tried a rotovator first but didn’t leave a great finish so used a power harrow which did an amazing job

[@roberthiggins6401]

@@sandersfarmvids have you tried discing instead of ploughing? Although I would think that plough would be quicker in the long run as discs would have to go over it at least twice?

[@sandersfarmvids]

Yes we’ve tried discing, wasn’t happy at the job it left. It was struggling to break up the clods

[@Panchdeburca]

Am I right to think that’s an inland plough as opposed to in the furrow? What’s your output like? Must be good if you’re covering 3.5m

[@sandersfarmvids]

Yes it’s an onland plough. You can go at a decent speed with it. Should have got a reversible though! You either have to reverse back up the field or open out from the middle which then leaves a bit of a lump where the furrows clash

[@Panchdeburca]

@@sandersfarmvids would you prefer a 5 furrow Reversible over it?

[@sandersfarmvids]

I would probably get the 8furrow reversible if I had my chance again. Was a lot more money though

[@seamusoconnell8582]

How did the field turn out after? Were you happy with it?

[@sandersfarmvids]

Yes, it did a grand job. Field is growing lots of grass now
