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??
