Light Land Posted May 24, 2006 Author Share Posted May 24, 2006 The arm on top of the plough is the arm of a coil press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Thats a nice old plough there fp, you don't see many conventional ploughs in the UK these days. Anybody know why that is?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Thats a nice old plough there fp, you don't see many conventional ploughs in the UK these days. Anybody know why that is?? lazyness & the availability to plough ground faster without having to mark the field out beforehand, pain in the bum having to cut a bye each time you strike out & then having to match it up to finish , with a reversable , you just set it up & off you go from one side of the field to the other . it does seen surprising to see the ammount of conventional ploughs that FP send over though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Thats what I thought, all three furrow conventionals on the farm when I was a nipper and it seemed to be a faff then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdc Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Don't know many people who could plough conventionally nowadays! Never seen a big KV like that in the flesh. Springs look the same as reversible auto resets, just moved through 90 degrees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
