LeeRoebuck Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 i didn't think it was right never mind whats the tractor ploughing second pic david brown cropmaster Its a VAK 1 or VAK 1a, but with the looks of the power unit with the adjustable top link its most likely to be a VAK1a. With what looks like a Ferguson Brown 2 furrow plough. Nice book, thanks for sharing the pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Excellent topic Stevo... I do like reading and viewing pictures from old books Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I have the same book in my collection of various old farming books. The picture of the D.B. ploughing is a 1945/46 VAK1A pulling a David Brown PUI 2-furrow plough, probably 8 or 10 inch furrow but could be altered to 12 inch.
