Nice sample, a valuable commodity this year.
Very nice to have a bit of my own kept, the margins on spring feed barley look poor, expect for the straw.
Talk of £650/ton, and with poor germination rates, talks of 200kg/ha seed rates. The combo makes no financial sense in the current grain prices.

Its a very early one ,the discs are same as a TS82 and so is the link at the rear of the headstock . The leaflet I have which announces the 102 and 103 as being the new ploughs has the pictures "doctored" to make the disc arms look like what was to follow . that leaflet is dated Oct 1972 .The one I have came new in 1974 , at that time they were getting modified with a fillet welded to the box where the bar point locates through ,that reinforced the frog to stop it bending . The 102 would have been the best selling reversible plough in Ayrshire by a mile at that time.
