As an ex-pat of England I was realy pleased to see the results of the last world ploughing ploughing match, but as I work for the importers of Overum in NZ I kept my exitement quiet! The "proper" Ransome match plough was the TS86 I think, but Imported ploughs were kept at a minimum here due to import restrictions that used to be in force, Ferguson, D.B., & I.H. ploughs were actually made here in Christchurch for the NZ market, I have seen a 4 furrow trailing plough of NZ make but with Ransome YL183s on it. I have used an IH plough found it great in stubble, but the ACE bodies not so at home in grass. I plough in the plain class here which is as close to the UK classic class as you can get, but was told in no uncertain terms that the skims and tail pieces had to go and then was nearly disquailified for using the tilt on my coulters! Driving back from a job last week in shorts and a tee shirt with the air con on at full belt and hearing Christmas songs on the radio! not got my head round that one just yet. There are a few Dowdswells over here but not many, but bear in mind we are only just seeing skimmers and reversable ploughs just begining to get accepted on the market. Have a good Christmas,and keep those pictures of "proper" ploughing coming.
