[QUOTE="Old McDonald, post: 4995080, member: 47276"] I am "bilingual" too. Some posters on here still use Imperial so I tend to go along with it, but I have to be metric here - except for water pipes, which are measured in inches. This is polegada in Portuguese and polegar means thumb. A thumb can be reckoned as an inch across for those of us who use body parts for measurements - and yes I know that some body parts are different lengths for different people, also weather dependent!!. Do a sample check run in case the bodies need adjusted for width. I think from your photograph that the ridger bodies are adjustable. I have not seen many ridger ploughs, but those I did were all adjustable. The splay on the two sides can be changed to accommodate different row widths, or whether you want a high pointed ridge or a lower more rounded top. The latter were used to follow on with a horse drawn turnip/swede drill. [/QUOTE]
