One for my mate Kiwi Fruit - The Ferguson Butterfly Plough


Recommended Posts

Now I've let you down really buddy...  :-[ - I can only find one mention of the plough in my books (well.. plenty of mentions... but not many pics)... so this is all I can find for you... I hope it shows the part you are looking for mate...

As I have failed you I would suggest the Freiend of Ferguson Heritage website... they have a great for sale/wanted board that is free to post on... that's where I got my Yellow 35x informatrion  from... some really nice jhelpful people on there...

Anyway.. here you go...

i wouldn't have thought that thye would give much extra grip, they look pretty flat  i have to say,

why would you plough with a single furrow butterfly anyway, would be beter suited to competitions wouldn't it

it's primerily used for deep ploughing , more than two of these moldboards would make that poor little tractor strugle moreso than it already did :-\

look carefully at the depth of the furrow it's making , damn site deeper than a normal plough would go , the body is a fill digger share

Ive used one of them to plough with on a dexta right pigs ear it was to.If I remember right to trip it you connected a short chain onto the towing hitch so when you lifted it out the chain went tight thus operating the trip mechanism

you should try and get hold of something like that for regan at some point mart, slowly add to the collection of old grey fergy stuff to match her

Funny you should say that Sean......I'm sure I discovered an old Grey Fergie two furrow reversible at the boss's other farm last weekend......Will go and get some pics of it soon and post them up but am sure it's a Fergie one...... :) :) ;)
