Howard know of a 3 furrow vari width ,sliding wheel and cross shaft , on gen tcn Kristeel and has weight carriers too , front furrow lift , 20 inch discs £1000
Howard it's a ransomes tsr200KV or Ransomes?
Not trying to pee on your bonfire but neither allowed in the classic class and TCN's will not be competetive in Worldstyle, especially not at 12.5" furrows or wider.
All good that she gets the experience of how a plough runs though plus the added benefit of experiencing how different bodies run.
We use them discs for paint removal, they dont effect/mark the metal so i would imagine removeing surface rust will be great.Has anyone tried this type of disc for shining a plough up? Better than a flap disc for getting a good shine on steel I think
It depends on the depth of rust. Unfortunately they are expensive and stubborn rust tears them apart in no time. I use "semi-flexible" discs which are really designed for cleaning stone. They are usually red with a black abrasive material bonded to the face in the shape of a swirl pattern. They are quite aggresive but don`t leave deep scarrs and follow the contours to a degree. Wear a mask because the black dust is foul.We use them discs for paint removal, they dont effect/mark the metal so i would imagine removeing surface rust will be great.

Old "1594" ffs they weren't even a match for the corresponding Fiat back in the day when they were new!!!I have watched, argued and laughed on regular occasion whilst John has poured scourn on forum members who;
Buy new tractors
Use GPS
Use finance to grow their business
Prefer modern farming methods
Use a mechanic/dealer to fix their machines
Etc etc
The list is endless, debates telling members his old Brown is a match for a modern tractor was a particular favourite of mine.
Whilst commenting on all the above John has laid claim to making larger profits from steering clear of all of the above which may or may not be true because as we all knew whilst he was commenting on the subject, he had no idea of what the other businesses balance sheets actually looked like, so I invited John to publish the profit/loss page of his best ever year and I would do the same, adjustments would be made to consider the amount of people employed, I was not surprised when John declined the invitation.
It was also a surprise for me to find out that whilst the old 1594 is a match for any modern tractor it didn't make an appearance at the ploughing match, the ploughing outfit was hauled to and from the match by a more modern tractor.
Hypocrisy

In the very words of that enchanting little songstress from your part of the world, TORN. Have ploughed with a 780 for the last 17 years and nothing, yep, nothing finds grip like she does.

A good few years ago a pal of mine whilst visiting NZ sent me an e mail of a Case advert. Whilst I was an avid Deere man, Case had an advert in NZ which was a parody of the Deere slogan 'Nothing runs like a Deere'. It was an image of a smoking six gun in a guys hand and the caption read 'Nothing stops a Deere like a Magnum'. Thought it was very funny at the time but it was banned over here. Perhaps you might be able to show us all it on here.
Can't recall any Kiwi singing a song called "Torn"? My quote was 1594 specific as they were rather difficult to sell over here back in the 80's, local dealer demo'ed one to a local farmer, was promptly returned and Fiat purchased, hence my quote.In the very words of that enchanting little songstress from your part of the world, TORN.

Where is John 1594?
Very conspicuous by his absence, maybe he has run out of vitriol, or is he busy cutting her down from four to two in order to show us what he can do?

Using an early type of bed former perhaps?John 1594 last seen on 1st March 2017, so either he has been
1) too busy with his business to log on
2) taken the huff about being exposed as a bull shytter
3) his young lady is being more demanding
or 4) he is here under cover of a new user name.
