[QUOTE="New Puritan, post: 4994164, member: 39018"] Thank you [USER=47276]@Old McDonald[/USER] - that's very helpful. So it sounds like you did much the same as I am proposing to do? I was going to add some muck or possibly green nettle tops into the trenches before planting, as I have heard putting green stuff in is meant to reduce the incidence of scab. I've adjusted the outer points to be at 142cm apart, centre to centre, to match the Ford 3910's track width, so I think I am already there with that part (happily). I was also pleased to find the bolts were not seized on what must be a fairly old piece of equipment. Apologies for switching to metric, I seem to work in either (and often both) depending on which has a more memorable or nearer whole number. That makes 71cm row spacings, so about 28 inches? The tractor won't go any narrower I think, plus it's being borrowed and I don't have enough enthusiasm for trying to adjust the wheel width on it even if it were possible... Thank you once again [USER=47276]@Old McDonald[/USER] , and this forum more generally, I am always very sincerely pleased to receive such useful advice on here. NP. [/QUOTE]
