[QUOTE="arcobob, post: 6966147, member: 4112"] When I started aged 61 I had a grey fergie and a Robin plough with Epics. A trip to Weslake and I converted it to YL183s, non genuine. I was not a complete novice but whatever I did this plough always pulled hard. Experienced men tried to help but nobody could put a finger on it. I was not happy with the work so I bought some genuine YL165s . Next season I qualified for the Nationals for the first time and the plough pulled as though I had taken a furrow off. The pattern boards would take a shine under certain conditions but as soon as you ploughed anything abrasive they returned to grey. Speaking of Bobby Douglas, the year he won the Nationals was my first National, the first (possibly) at Crockey Hill. He had completed his plot in good time and was walking down the line with a big grin on his face. By the time he got to me I had just finished also and his grin got bigger, not because my plot was little more than poor but because I had finished the wrong way(one and only time). He stopped and we chatted and along came dear old Derek Hockley who was a steward. He said "I am going to have to dock you 20 points" to which I replied "I think you had better because the whole world has noticed". [/QUOTE]
