single leg sub soiler

El Kabong!

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:

I sold this one to a friend.

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

El Kabong!

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

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....

bogman_bass

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

El Kabong!

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!!

Ive an old massey single furrow plough with the mouldboard broken off. Its for scrap metal or sale if it would do your job. Im in donegal

just do it

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