I know that FOFH pay for 24 entires in the Ferguson class as it is down to them to identify who is going to plough. I know what you mean about 'corner of a field' as the Ferguson class has been in some poor areas in the past.

I have received some further clarification on this. You do have to qualify for the David brown class, the requirements are any David brown tractor and David brown plough with David brown bodies but not Ransomes bodies like TCN/SCN. The David brown club is trying for more southern qualifiers but...

Just register at https://lsbud.co.uk/ and you can request a copy of all utilities in your area.

Having had a looking this years National programme, both the DB and F/FS have the filling comment in their class. Competitors in this class have been invited to plough by the David Brown/Ford & Fords Association

Can't answer for the DB and Ford/Fordson, but you do have to qualify for the Ferguson Class. There were 24 in the Ferguson class, but this is agrees with by the FOFH and the SOP. FOFH pay for the entires. Looking in the 2022 programme, there were only 10 in each class for the DB, F/FS. The...

No, when you put the pin in the flywheel No. 1 piston will now be at 30° before top dead centre of its firing stroke

I don't have the measurement to hand. @MrNoo do you not have one of these in the 'scrap plough bit pile' in the corner of your shed?

@alfie.jackson000 are you referring to the timing in general of spill timing of the injector pump? Here is a picture of the timing and I have attached instructions on how to do the spill timing. Trevor

Will travel up in the lorry and then leave it at the site. Will then get my chauffeur @MrNoo to run me about. 😎

Yes, The Wheatsheaf at Swinton.

A topic after my own heart! Have seen all of the tricks that are done as as @MrNoo mentioned the worst (or even best) one is to take an extra 'accidental' run which means you have only one run to straighten things out. I have only once not ploughed very straight in my early years, and it was...

Project I am working on, we are hiring a couple of excavators through a a contractor. Have a 13T and 23T on site. Eye watering at the day rate for these things, but we will have no need for them if we purchased new once the project ends. The condition of the ones we had on site wasn't...

Raglan was stoney and yes, @MrNoo does like his travelling chef to cook him a good full English! We are not at the Welsh, clashes with the FFF&B match which is out local qualifier and supposed to be on some good soil this year which is quite rare for the FFF&B!

@Pennine Ploughing, the autopilot still works as it always wants to head back up north all the time. Yes, we met up a few times. Once at the Forest of Arden match where I think you had a turbo issue with the new truck? Then more recently at the the Welsh match overlooking Raglan Castle.
