Lord Ferguson Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 With all the excitement of Spalding... I forgot to show you these pics... I've snapped a few "others" so I'll open up a topic of those pics when I've done this one... Anyway... the story is... this is my mate Graham... the man I was apprentice to in 1983-86... he's got a prize winning 35 and a pretty wicked plough... he offered to show me the ropes at a recent plouging even locally... unfortunately... due to my back trouble (I couldn't get it off the bed in time ) ... I missed his opening Anyway... shut up Marky and show us the pics... First up... the kit... closer on the plough... what a beauty this is...

Lord Ferguson Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 As I said... he'd done the opening bit when I arrived sadly... In this one he's been up and down i believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 Forgot... other side of the plough... Going back up again to create the other furrow... I assume... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 he was having problems burrying the stubble on his opening for some reason... so was everyone else for that matter.. I felt like a right pillock following him up and down with a camera :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Some lovely shots there Marky and that plough I mean an International it looks great !!! Why an International plough versus a DF Ferguson for a ferguson may I ask??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why an International plough versus a DF Ferguson for a ferguson may I ask??? I think he pulled it out of a hedgerow.... so it was a freebie I guess... he told me the international plough was "highly adjustable" ... It's been heavily modified as you can see... it's got a trip on the toplink end to make it "dive" ... winders for just about everything... in fact... the only thing it didn't have was a kettle to make the tea :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
