@seamusdel leave the top link in the slotted hole if your tractor has bottom link sensing as it needs room to move as the linkage senses in the ground

is it best to leave top link in rigid hole or or floating hole?

To Brooktop68: when you first time turned the ground (first time with 5 wings), you turned it onto the stubble, which is the big mistake: the weeds (for example twitch and sonchus) can grow through the unploughed stubble and plow. Then you have to use more herbicide.

Why didn't you turned the stubble once 10 cm to the another end and then came back, turning another 10 cm (10 cm + 10 cm = 20 cm)?

The technical data referred to in this video is now available as an iPhone app in Europe and USA. There's also a web app available on our website firestonefarm.co.uk

I see loads of people who don't bother with headland marks, then having to spend a lot longer ploughing the headlands to cover all the random patches the missed from raising to early.

Great video too, got our new Kuhn Mulitmaster (4+1) set up just nicely using the tips you showed, many thanks :)

@cornel490 Nah. That isn't sand. More of a sandy loam
