    Hi,

    I am on the lookout for a single leg subsoiler if anyone has one they don't need...... or has seen one anywhere.

    Saw an original MF one (I have an MF135) on ebay up in Enniskillen but it looks bent.

    Thanks

    Would a 135 pull a subsoiler?
    I'd have thought you would Need much more horses than that and 4wd too.

    I have been wondering this too, but I have obtained original parts lists for Massey 35s, which have even less power and you could get a form of subsoiler.

    I suppose it probably depends on the land, but I only need to go down about 10 inches.

    Hi Conor,

    That's not the exact one I had in mine but that would do the job!

    Are you selling????

    Here is an example of the one I found in the original catalogue:

    and I was looking around for something like this:

    I don't have the skills to do that.

    I actually don't need the mole or subsoiler bit on the bottom, just the vertical blade, that would make it even easier to pull through the soil. I am planting willow and I just need to be able to put a slit in the ground to speed things up and save my back. Have 1500 left to plant...... I did the first 500 by hand with help and it wasn't pleasant......

    are you sure the eniskillen one is bent?

    the price at the moment is right, might be no harm in contacting the seller, tis hardly a million miles away


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 296 ✭✭El Kabong!


    Auction has been ended, probably somebody on here has bought it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,031 ✭✭✭Markcheese


    Sure I saw an old plough with the mould board taken off used for planting willow, the disc did the hard work,arm opens a slit....

    if you are using it on grassland make sure you get one with a disc in front or you'll bring half the feild with you

    Thanks for the tip... unfortunately the ones with discs seem to be quite expensive!

    I have a Ferguson 2 furrow plough. I wonder could I temporarily take the furrow bits off and bolt on a plate behind the discs in some way... probably not!!

    Just an idea. Secure a suitable bar onto a bale handler and away you go!
