Gav836 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Surprise , surprise that is completely different to what they say in the 2 brochures I have for it - I believe that plough was designed by Peter Topham one of the biggest UK farmers with 6500 acres and an operation in Ukraine Never believe what the brochures say, they never seem to test them on the tough land like most of what I was ploughing \ If it had been that good Dowdeswell wouldn't have dropped it from the range when they bought Volac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 Well... in all honesty... no... BUT... I was just discussing a Fergie plough with Kev... The problem I have is that Fanny is currently sporting a 38" gap between the rear wheels... and I believe a Fergie plough to be 12" furrows.... or is it 10" I THINK my wheel centres only move in and out in multiples of 4" \ As Kev says... discuss :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 Ummm.... not good at 38 then Colm - how would I get around that one then... any ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Remind me again how the distance is calculated for match ploughing - I think its some multiple of your furrows That seems odd - from the centres of the tyres it should be 54" at the narrowest settings I think - I'm only thinking of the way the 3600 can be set up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 Well... in all honesty... thats what I am asking you :D - I know for a 10" furrow you need your "gap" to be a multiple of 10"... and 12" you need a multiple of 12 etc etc... thats as I understand it...

nashmach Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I think for 2 furrow it is 4 times the width to make sure for the last furrow - James F will tell you more as his brother is big into this There was an older Classic Tractor explaining all this but for the life of me I can not remember which month it was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
