Some mornings I wake up grumpy, but most mornings I let her sleep in.
Re: speed ploughing ???
Hi Thanks for posting the video
Never seen that before on you tube Nice to hear that ford working hard its my favorite motor to listen to when its getting caned like that
. Im thinking "nuts" and probably other parts will come into this very soon when the rear end decides to call it quits
. or maybe as they say here in Canada " Built Ford Tough" and she will take it who knows

Re: speed ploughing ???
Absolute 100 percent abuse!
Almost ended as a rollover casualty.
I hate to see any machine run to death, but I guess if they have deep enough pockets to afford the hopped up engines, repairs, and hospital bills if they do flop and get injured,
then have at it.
It appears that having a few loose screws in the head is a requirment for particpation..... here come's the guys in the white coats....

Re: speed ploughing ???
I like to work my tractor as it was intended, or show a tractor and have folks come by and reminisce about the old days when the machines were new and which models they farmed with.super6954 wrote:Hi Dave

Hi Dave
Im in Manitoba Canada the pulls up here are gettin thin on the ground to
. I think our problem is more who you are and if your new and ya tractor will hammer the regular prize winners than insurance issues, Oh the joys of small town politics
.
To be honest I have been involved in pulling with Belarus tractors and the old Majors so know about the mechanical issues and stresses and things that can go bang. It may surprise you to know that a major or power major rear end will take about 1200 hp in a short burst . I guess fordsons where over engineered before the supers they are not usually so good .
I respect your view on restore and stuff I sit on the fence there to. There is no way my 954 county is going down the track, its to rare in Canada and the cost of parts if available is very high if it blows up.
To be honest if a tractor is high in supply i have no problem with pulling it. getting it to go good can be as much challenge as restoring one, I guess its all down to what aspect of engineering pulls ya chain
.
Any how i guess we are off topic a bit here so maybe we should either start our own or leave this one for the guys that want to comment on speed ploughing.
Have a great day
Regards Robert
