looking for a match plough

Slightly off at a tangent! Thirty Two years ago we hosted the NZ team and one or two others for practice before the match near Horncastle. We have lost Bruce Smith(The GOffer) and also Norman Wymer. Gordon Carter is still about and also his daughter Tryphena are still on the ploughing scene in NZ. I was also chatting to Colin Millar(Chair of WPO) a few months ago in Yorkshire. I was chatting to a New Zealander at the closing ceremony and mentioned a pals name who farms in NZ and a lady tapped me on the shoulder and said they were her neighbours. It is a small world in ploughing circles, even though I have never competed myself. @ploughman61

On that thing, I dont understand why so much effort has been made to change rotary movement to linear, hyd motors instead of rams.

Adjustments would be coarse, you could never stop those motors in the same place twice. Lock out valves on rams make sure there is no creep,but I have never needed them, and all the hyd parts on my plough are far from new.

Come on guys. Said blind man on said galloping horse would see its linkage mounted. (Clue as in cross shaft and headstock)
Said blind man on said galloping horse would also notice it could be a bit of a tawt to plough with seeing it has no mouldboards :D:D
