Hi,

Does anybody know how I could get hold of a BMB Ploughmate operators manual?

Cheers,
Derek

I am sure someone will be able to supply a copy. It might be worth contacting our magzine editor for a wanted ad to go in the magazine.

Hello Derek
Send me a Personal Message with your email address and I’ll email you a copy of the manual and parts list.
Have you any photos of your BMB you could post? From your avatar picture it looks like a nice machine.

Hi Rob,

Thanks very much for that; whats your address and i’ll send you a ten pound cheque….

She is nice, I’ll send you some photos. I like your MG2, I’ve got a MG5 I’ll send photos of that.

My email address is doc.is@icloud.com

Thanks very much, I couldn’t seem to find any documents…

Hi Derek
Email sent. No need to worry about money, I have them already scanned and saved as PDFs. That’s what the forum is all about, helping each other out when we can.
Post some photos of your MG5 in the ride on section, it’s always nice to see some new machines on here.
My own BMB Plowmate is still in bits, one day I’ll get it back together.

All received Rob; thanks for your trouble. First week as a fully fledged member and I have to say all very helpful…

I’ll take some photos during the week and get them up. I’m currently making up a tool bar to take a potato lifter and a potato ridge for both the Ransomes and the BMB Plowmate. Will get some photos of both the Ransomes MG5 and the BMB Plowmate on the ride on section… I’ve got to get my first earliers in next week; plus I do veg gardens for some other people, so pressure is on!

Good luck with your Plowmate… they are brilliant machines!

Best,
Derek

Thanks for those, very clear. Whilst I’ll make up a temporary tool bar its great to see what the original looks like. This will give me a steer, but also I’ll keep my eyes open for the original; unless someone has one they would like to sell?? Cheers again, Derek

Hi Dave, I’ll get some photos and details together over the weekend for the Ransomes MG5. I’ve included some photos done today of my BMB Plowmate just before we’re about to plough this little patch… Best, Derek.

Hi Derek, it certainly looks a very purposeful machine fitted with those dual wheels.

Hi Derek, unfortunately my BMB is still a long way off from being finished. It had stood outside for many years, it was completely overgrown with briars. I had stripped it down and had started to sort it out when I got sidetracked by collecting Ransomes crawlers. I’ll get it finished one day (hopefully).

I know the problem… there’s so many deserving cases… need a couple more lifetimes to fit it all in… Best, Derek
