3 Furrow Reversable flick Plough

So my question is, I know my NP Super will pull a 3 Furrow conventional and pick it up no problem. How would she cope with a 3 Furrow Reversable flick plough?? Im guessing its just the extra weight of the 3 furrows that will cause a problem?? Anyone tried pulling one??

Re: Busy weekend for the Super

Cheers Adrian, When ive got the major in the workshop this weekend doing the hydraulic control valve i will put some gasket sealant on those inserts.

If you hear of any 16.9x30 or 16.9x34 rear wheels up for sale, could you point them my way. In desperate need of rear tyres.
