Yeah. One that can drive straight preferablywhat? A dog?
I use yl 42's, 44's, 56's, 57's and 61's and get on rather well with all of them no matter the conditions. Usually I use 42's in turf or stony conditions. The only ones I don't get on with is the yl 40.Does anyone on here use to yl 42's for match work? If not, why not? Most people seem to use 44's are they the best?
That is where you are normally pictured collecting your "prize". ?Ah light bulb moment get one from the dead school will help you find the food wagon as well ?
yea.........bleddy big one ta stop all the people stoppin ta distract mewhat? A dog?
Thanks for your info Pete. Are 61's almost identical to 44's? If so the only ones that you mentioned that I haven't used, are the 56's. Mind you I am talking commercially not match. What do 56's look like?I use yl 42's, 44's, 56's, 57's and 61's and get on rather well with all of them no matter the conditions. Usually I use 42's in turf or stony conditions.

Well, in mine and Dons case, pushing the plough back has opened up the rear of the tractor, things are not so cramped there. You can also see the front disk and furrow easier, so following the mark is no longer guesswork! Lift height is also increased. Down side is needing more weight on the front of the tractor.
61s are identical in shape to 44s but thinner and thus penetrate with less disturbance but wear out quicker.Thanks for your info Pete. Are 61's almost identical to 44's?

I always liked 57's best.
I was wondering what is the advantage of longer lift links and top link bracket. This is on Simon Witty's setup.
Are you saying Interationals would benefit from longer links, Dave? If so do you weld bits in or use longermassive difference. Put 1200 lower links on my 780. People have been doing it for years.
it also changes the way the plough reacts which might mean winding a bit sooner. It will let the plough run straighter. You will get far better weight transfer but as some on here so rightly say you might need some front end weight.
I originally based my logic on ploughing thousands of acres with a Super Major. Got used to it and went well. After that most other tractors seemed hunched up with a plough on the back. Internationals are the worst of the lot.
You may think an International is hunched up. You should try a Nuffield 4/65! The hydraulic arm lifters on the top cover become part of your elbows.massive difference. Put 1200 lower links on my 780. People have been doing it for years.

Not international, but for what its worth, I extended the arms on my leyland by welding in a 6" length of flat bar.Are you saying Interationals would benefit from longer links, Dave? If so do you weld bits in or use longer
