ABC123P came before P123ABC. Before 1962 it was ABC123, earlier 1234AB tracing back to A1 with a man holding a flag in front of your car. Used to be second and third letters gave a geographic location but that is shot to pieces by vanity plates (which you never actually own).

Have you got a girlfriend?

Awesome 2WD Case IH tractor. What's the price for this one in the tractor market?

This one is my Dad's restored by him in 2016, wont ever be for sale, possibly the forum could put a valuation on it?

I have a patch ploughed for potatoes myself , 2nd lea. It was ploughed from grass last year possibly 1st week of May . I sprayed them for weeds just at/before emergence .
Grass is starting in it again , but the spray will deal with that .
I was half sorry that I didn't spread dung , and plough it down. Would I be mad to spread some dung on it now , and till it in ? Or even.plough it again ?
What was your line of attack, @Vincent ?

I would struggle to value as a 474 is a rare beast, maybe £5k, but must compliment your Dad for a fine looking job.

@jf850 That was the sod we rotavated with the dung on top, spread it and till it in . I ploughed it yesterday and it was easier to plough this way. Spuds need dung to be a nice dry spud I think. Easier to buy them but your own garden is best for taste.

What do the wireworm think of spuds in grass? Better in bin-bags with peat. Some joker on youtube growing spuds above ground with a hay mulch. As a stem tuber you might try peanuts too. And slugs love fresh dung.

 

[Kidds]

Ploughed and rotavated, ridged and drilled with potatoes.
Rotavator fell in half so was put back in the nettles.
