I use 12" any wider can spill over the board.
As its a 12" headstock, and the spacers are in the 12" position, I think you need to measure it again, otherwise, you have a problem!

@Hotbed Don’t suppose you’d say what you gave for it? I’ve a very similar plough that I’d like to move on and wondering how much it’s worth
Pm if you’d rather

Oh, I measured landside to landside but I’m grogged up with lurgi so I’ll check again.

any photos tim

 

[Timo@hattonfarms]

It’s on 25’s in the first photo but will be sold on the original super hydreins. It’s very original with rubber depth wheel folding tails and the 2 spanner’s it was supplied with, do have a steel wheel with marker that I would chuck in with it. Will require new shares as its on commercial points at the moment.

cant say for sure, only dealt with one standard plough!( also ex Ingram Barrel) But, the front spacers are between the beam and headstock, moving the beam in, and the rear leg is in line with the beam.The old plough had no front spacers and with the leg in line with the beam it ploughed "12", Are the later ones different?
Looking as closely as I can, the headstock is 12", and the land beam seems to be inside that, but at the other end, if thats a 12" tube, then the spacers are wrong as some are between leg and tube! I have heard of people cutting the flange off the tube, and taking a piece out, then rewelding to increase the width adjustment/ get the flanges in line, as KV were not good at the latter!

After 8 days of australian flu I have rechecked the furrow width and it is 12 inches.

I hope it ploughed ok, would you still have the manual for it ?.

 

[gavts86rwm]

No mate never come with one I bought it in 2007 as far as I remember one of the boards is dipping a little bit

 

[Hotbed]

Yeah i have just noticed this, did it affect the ploughing much ?, can you remember any other problems ?.

 

[Hotbed]

Well I’ve sorted the dipping front mouldboard, must have ploughed shite as it was, simple fix by swapping mouldboards around, they are now very nearly Matching, which I should get with the mouldboard stay.
