i also like countys but the turning circle is crap when compared to muir hills.also the stress going through the drive shafts to the front hubs must be horrendous when turning(the splined bits).richard youre brave putting a dp8 behind that tractor.im suprised you havent pulled the front of it,more suited to a dp 7
nick......

Hi Nick,

DP7 is a bit much for it round here, we got these hills which test it a bit when you get out on the ends and start swinging the plough over.

This DP8 copes fine, brother bought it needing work (at this point read welding) to the slide-beam at the front because the previous owner obviously wasn't fit to use a hand shovel let alone a plough.....when it arrive me & father looked at it shaking our heads....anyway brother got busy with the welder and bu99er me this thing ploughs good (as you can see in the pics)......only thing we had trouble with breaking was the turn-over pin that hold the top of the cylinder on the headstock this was "a common problem", but I've put in a longer pin and welded in a support to the other side and it looks like it will do the job
