Brian ploughing at Scarcroft & District around October 2012/13. He sometimes uses a 35 instead of the Standard. Could be Brian Shaw in the background.

Not sure on that one Harry but he had a spell ploughing World Style. Alex Townroe now has his tractor. Please correct me if I am wrong but I think Nigel Vickers has his plough.

Cant comment on the plough, but I think he had the shares made by the original manufactures who supplied fiskar, I know I bought a pair for my Fiskar bodied 86.Was the tractor a D B?
