No mine would be greedy no matter which way you pulled it, just hope it's not too greedy or i'll need a bigger tractor

Made a drill piece to fit the screw in insulators. Small project but very handy when doing a lot of fencing.

I'd say it's harder lifted and carried than standard anyways since the centre of the wheel is higher.

No its actually alot easier for the following reasons ....im 6ft 2" and find that the increase in axel height of 5" now means that im pushing forward as apposed to down ..... also with the nose bar gone it means it will ride over strawbeds and rough ground without having to lower your arms , the only reason for the nose bar is for tipping stuff but with the bigger tyre i find you can just lie it over without hitting the ground .
Damo810 is right though it is a bit heavier for lifting ... but to be honest bar the odd time i put it in the back of the van ill suffer that .... its only adds about 7kg max to it .

Anywhere you think you could strengthen it or put a extra bit of weld do there is a fair amount of pressure on it when its going through the ground! That 1 goes down 16 inches if i remember, sold it to a friend i go to school with and pulls it with a tl 90 and said its a great yoke, I have 1 for ourselves that goes down 13 inches and a MF 65 pulls it grand same as urself on good ground but i do have some stones! So i say 390 will pull it!

Mighty job all together! Wish we had floatation tyres like that for the bog barrows years ago! That's innovation for ya!;)
