[QUOTE="MrNoo, post: 6845915, member: 2767"] He doesnt have any!! Except he does have a skill that would produce paired work with a 5 furrow plough!!! Lol We both plough in the Fergie Class, while the basics of board set up/pitch/angles and tweaks etc would apply to all ploughs there are quite a few unique Fergie tweaks. It is shunned to mod them but they were mass produced and certainly have a wide tolerance re manufacturing back in the day, more now due to age, so a mix and match approach with components, holes enlarged or elongated etc etc and you can end up with a handy little plough, in the right soil type you can give Vintage Mounted boys a run, think I've won 3 Vintage Mounted matches using the Fergie so far. A good set of worn boards go best, some trim the tails but I havent bothered as mine are pretty worn, the best ones have a decent flat bottom to the lower board edge, Trevor will tell you about that aspect!! Boards seem to differ markedly, I have 4 boards in the shed and not one of them is the same as any of the others! Lower board edge, landslide bottom and share wing tip correlation have quite an important part to play with them and they like a bit of lead to land. I know they are shunned but they are good fun, people in the class are great and they're simple to get around and I am sure if you can plough well with a Fergie a Ransomes shouldnt be too hard to get on with. I've just built up a Robin on YL183's using some of the tweaks I have learnt with the Fergie but have yet to try it. [/QUOTE]
