Yes, was about to ask that myself; is it a competitive plough even in the hands of someone who knows how to use it?
Geof Fretwell could make it go, and perhaps Roland Glanville, but not many more. In addition, when the SOP and KV got into bed together, Fiskars work suddenly became "Unfashionable"! Even if, as they do, the fiskars furrows make much more soil available.

A lot of money for something that is no longer competitive in the class its restricted to.

Quite correct, I generally like the style of the work but David Chappel tells me that it is not what the world ploughing organisation are looking for so no point ploughing with them at national level

It would appear that their are those who can use the boards, many are used on KV frame, I think the reason behind this is that it is not easy to alter the Fiskar frame to lift and lower the legs

Geoff and Roland are both very "natural" ploughmen, which helps a lot if the equipment is not quite as competitive as it used to be

Quite right.
 
mega money though looking for 25s or fiskar khs if anyone knows of some just now bought a tractor so cant aford a plough so building one
you can buy 25's of kverneland part num KK 07 31 02 no8 and above frogs fit I put no3 frogs on mine but you need a small plate that connects the shin to mouldboard kv sell them about £6 each I think, get some boards quick if I were you before the worlds and everyone gets keen on world style again I could sell my 25's to at least 10 different people
 
Also that AB if you look at the bodies has the extended shin you could buy them from KV but not anymore I don't think if you can get hold of a pair it would be worth it they go better apparently
