David brown 996 ploughing and piping slurry with Massey Ferguson 6480

[@garethifan1034]

996 looks like it could easily cope with another furrow on that land! Lovely tractor

We actually used to have a 4 furrow plough 30 years ago

Great video just picked up a David brown 996 with loader myself, pretty happy with it

[@farming_and_fixing]

Good luck with your new purchase

996 power steering and a vq cab was probably best of the range in 1977 our local contractor ran a fleet of them back in the day well matched to that plough will pull 3 as easy as 2 with the wheelgrip if you ever do small square bales 996 with the hand clutch is ideal and you can bale with pto in high 540rpm at just under 1200 engine rpm

They were a well spec’d machine for their day for sure

What the hell is 'slurry'? Semi solid sewage?

[@farming_and_fixing]

Pretty much, it’s liquid cattle manure
