ts 63

[massey765]

anybody used a ts 63 with yl 183 ?

seems a hell of a long plough compared to a ts 59

where they just designed for rnd boards ?

would the point to point be similar to an rsld trailer plough ?

how would your "ins" go on with the extra length ?

comments please

I have lent out my Ransomes bible Ben, but there is a picture of a 63 with Epic bodies on it, the plough is long enough to run the disc stalk behind the cross shaft with Epics fitted, the 63 is the only mounted plough long enough to take RND'S hence the reason why some have ended up with RWM's fitted as the 59 can't take them without serious modification

so do think it would follow the ground better with being longer or am i dreaming
what is the point to point on your ts 86 ?

 

[Roy Stokes]

roughly 30 inches Ben, I like a longer plough, personal preference only though, if you have plenty of trash the 59 rear skim can block against the front leg, not a problem with the 86

 

[Mydexta]

86 and 63 have same
Point to point clearance I think, but 63 is a longer overall frame

 

[massey765]

reason for asking is that there is one available locally... with surface rust on yl183...how would you lot value it and is it worth using

Better off with a 59 for YL's Ben. Extra length frame will destroy your ins and outs.
63 has the front disc stem wrong way round. Similar inter body clearance to an 86 although extra length is gained in the frame. 86 uses different legs for RWM than TCN or YL's can't remember exactly but I think they are set 6" back for RWM's. Looks like they will be further back still (back int' shed) ift' unelected have their way!
Has the 63 got BK69's on it?
What some guys do is redrill the beam for the front leg to give the same inter body clearance as a 59

would more stroke on the quick entry top link be of any help on the ins and outs ? bk69 ?

 

[massey765]

also have an itch for RNDs and if the bodies came up i would have the plough

Not really because the weight is still a lot further back. A bigger dropper helps but if it's too big it trails anyway. A long dropper on the frame would probably work.

Many of us have slept next to something we would rather not look at , Now Ben, I've heard of the love of match ploughing but sleeping with a plough surely is a step too far ?
