the showman

I'm posting here George, rather than a PM, as your advice and comments may help others. Not just me.
 
I've re-made the hitch, as ground clearance when traveling was very little.
 

 
The next photo is it on 7-1/2" boards with plough fully down.
 

 
Plough is not touching the ground. Front tip is 1-1/4" off the ground and rear is 1".  I cannot get the plough level as no more adjustment.
 
This last photo is of plough in position as if to start ploughing.
 

 
I'm guessing here, that from my measurements, the plough will drag itself down to 6".
 
Distance from share to inside of rear wheel is 6-1/2 inch. From your figures, guessing again, depth would be approx. 4".
 
Again, your comments, suggestions and advice greatly appreciated.
 
 
 

Thanks Paul, nice to have my name in an American magazine again

It was another good adventure and great to see Alan and John again. I really enjoyed meeting Mr Showman and talking to him about his projects.
 
This was trip number five to see Alan and John and I have already starting thinking about the next time...
 
On the way home the boss phoned to ask what I had got for them. I told her that I had got a trailer each for the kids and a plant pot lifter for her. She was a little surprised to see that the plant pot lifter looked a bit like a small engine crane   
 
I was not permitted food or drink after 10pm last night due to some boring medical stuff today, so it was a bonus to get home a 9.45 so I could down a beer before the deadline.
 
Thanks guys
Iain

What did you have to do that for, now I'll have to do something to mine or use yours 😜😜😜

Those panels really finish it off mate,
Put some plastic pipe over the rear tyres, that would make it interesting!!!

Fantastic Tom, nice neat job, i like the cultivator, looks a heavy bit of kit

Found these today under the bench, there's some more somewhere ( i must store things the same in one place ) the one nearest the camera has cast pulleys the others have pressed pulleys

Went out early this morning and when I got home look what awaited me.
 

 
So the afternoon was well spent. The result being this.
 

 
I'll get ATS in Wigton to fit the rears on Monday.
 

Done a bit of fabricating on the dethatcher today, now it fits the slot hitch on the Rowcrop and is useable, here's some pictures for you to look at

Great job and it really looks the part on the back of the tractor  A drop of red paint and it will look like a factory attachment.
