the showman 4,074 #6 Posted August 23, 2015 Great photos Paul, the working area was nice and soft and my plough worked very well its no good behind the Rowcrop as i had problems steering it, now i know the plough works I'll put a hitch and lift cable on the Raider 12 and use that.It was good to give the Trachorse a work out and I was well pleased with its performance 2 pmackellow and Will-Haggle reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
