I have a KV plough and LD85 -240 dating back to around 1999.
The valve block seems to have a problem whereby it moves the plough in line to start the turnover phase (via extending the angling ram), but once the plough is mid way over, the angling ram contracts and the end of the plough hits the ground. This has suddenly started happening. The valve is about 6 years old and hasnt done that much work.
I have been told its definitely the syncro spool block on the headstock and that these are prone to going.. Replacement cost is £1k... Is there anything that can be done to recondition these blocks ?
