The Ferguson plough is not a good one for ploughing matches, they usually have their own class as the work can be very poor when judged against Ransomes or other makes. It is not easy to adjust or set up.

The TS81 was designed for the Super Dexta and Dexta.

hi

i use my fergie ploughs behind my s dexta , both 2 and 3 furrow , they work , but brian is right , i dont think they will compete against a ransomes ect.
i've entered 1 match so far , using a fergie plough , i've since bought a ts 59 ( rusty condition ) which is goin back together soon :beer: all bein well.
Some mornings I wake up grumpy, but most mornings I let her sleep in.
