our kv reversible is in need of new bodies and we were thinking to change to 28 to enable it to be used by tractors with wider tyres has any one done it and was it worth while ?does it turn the furrow any better ?

Seem to think you need longer stays on the back for the 28's

I have a one from new on 28s plough with 600 tyres no problem

With no 28 I can plough with a 710 tyre and it matches well enough in all but very heavy wet ground . No8 and 28 are very different I think the 28 will turn most soils better

I changed from 8 to 28 in my opinion makes a better job seems to turn it over better in a variety of conditions

Do 28’s bolt onto the same frogs as 8’s?

Changed from 8s to 28s when moving from 18.4 and 600s to 650s then 710s, lads making a cracking job with them.

I have a feeling our old conventional 4 furrow will be on 28 bodies as the mouldboards seem longer and more of a gentle turn.
