    Ransomes TS59 Novice advice !

    Thank you. Looking around a ploughing match today. I noticed there was a mix of starts techniques. I was going to do a chip ( that’s what I’ve called it) but going down to 10 inches and moving the plough over to the the land - there is no further adjustment towards the land to get the front...

    Ransomes TS59 Novice advice !

    Thank you that’s a great help indeed. this may be a very basic question. which end of the cross shaft is likely to need the most adjustment - is it towards the furrow and ploughed work ? Or towards the un ploughed land. on 11 inches the plough was quite central ( headstock standard and not...

    Ransomes TS59 Novice advice !

    Been tinkering today. The rear leg has a spacer on the inside of the frame. So I’ve taken that out and put on the inside of frame and also the front leg on the inside. I’ve cranked the cross shaft across but it doesn’t look like the top link / plough sits straight behind the tractor now. Should...

    Ransomes TS59 Novice advice !

    Finally got out with the plough yesterday. I haven’t changed anything since purchasing, though it I would see what it ploughed like. I will put it back to 10 inch and ease off the push of the boards. It was certainly leaving a wide furrow bottom. My finish wasn’t great! But certainly a great...

    So what is a dp7 B ? Is that the bigger clearance plough ?

    That looks a very nice set up. that’s makes sense. We’re the long clearance versions given a mother number or letter in the model number ?

    Not really too flinty around here. But understand your ‘point’ 🙂

    The front furrow looks along way back - is that distance normal from the headstock ? 🙂

    Are you saying the front mounted turn over ram models have better front furrow adjustment?

    That’s doing a lovely job. what size tractor tyres are you running ?

    Does the newer behind the headstock have two adjustable stops for turnover adjustment for each way? Im only 105 hp so thought a DP7 would be a good match the dp8’s look a bit too light weight 🙂

    Sorry to jump on this thread. Looking to get a DP7. Is the turnover ram behind the headstock (2) version the better one to go for ? As opposed to the push / pull ram in front of the headstock? I’ve got a ransomes tsr 109 with this set up and I’m not excited by the wear block arrangement !

    Ransomes TS59 Novice advice !

    I have recently acquired myself a TS59, YLs set up on 11 inch furrows with an adjustable headstock. I always assumed YLs were on 10 inch work ? So should the front leg be on the inside of the frame ? My Rear Wheel centres are 52 on a FE35 tractor. Compared to my old TS54 - the boards seem to be...
