Re: pierce ploughs

Re: pierce ploughs

Re: pierce ploughs
You need a better picture Ben, it would help us comment.
The extra holes are possibly to aid penetration as in the later Ransomes ploughs.

Re: pierce ploughs
When I first saw the picture of the point and share, I thought, Ransomes Epic, but the shape of the breast is definitely not Epic which has a more square end. Looking again at the share, point and shin, it looks like Ransomes parts have been made to fit, by the gaps all around them and how the shin sits up higher than the breast at the front. Might be another contender for "ASP of The Year".

Bitsa = Bits a' this, Bits a' that. ,
As Henk says, ASP = All Spare Parts. It was coined by my friend J-P from Finland, many years ago, to describe his Fordson Major which he rescued and was using on his small holding over there. It became a standing joke between us and has moved into my slang terms.
