jdc Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I wouldn't touch the 260, Mark - especially with the manual turnover - it either didn't or tried to turn the tractor too. They never seem to stay adjusted either. No depth wheel doesn't help. KV much better option but if it's 14", wouldn't be too easy to change. Ransomes - was the only plough to have on the Fordson Major or MF65; much better than grey ferguson ploughs of same era. They all seem a wee bit pricey to me though..........
