  4. Hi Normin

    The tyres you are going to use are off a Gutbrod pto driven trailer from Germany They will be the bees knees

    It will be fine when you are able to try them in Scotland 

    Keep well

  5. Hi all

    This is a new trophy that was donated for the horticultural ploughing group it is called the Bruce and Sheila Marnoch trophy

    This was the first time the group ploughed at the Carse of Gowrie ploughing match we were made very welcome and made at home.the cup was presented at their annual dance there was good food good company good Scottish music in fact it was a very good night

    There were four people who took part.T Tweedie was the first to win the cup F Munro came second J Law came third

    The next local match there will be ten  people ploughing more on that later

    PS notice the back drop:hide::wub::D

  6. Hi Chris

    The idea behind  in using an existing fixing point is if the valve block or in Rollomans case was that if the pump was fixed to the tractor frame next to the 1032 number on my tractor you would have to remove the tank to bore holes in the panel and weld on captivated nuts to hold the pump or valve block. I thought this was a better idea. see photos  good thing about it is anything goes wrong with one tractor you can move it to another tractor without leaving holes or spending a lot of time doing  it

    Sorry for hijacking your post Rolloman 

    Have fun
