alanKeymasterWe adapted a Merry Tiller plough to go on the diesel John Deere which actually worked although I only played with it a couple of times to see. I’ve never tried anything on a Westwood or similar yet.
For weight comparison my 10hp 1965 Cub Cadet 100 has a standard Brinley plough. The tractor weighs 347Kg and the plough weighs 31Kg. It has manual implement lift and at present I haven’t tried ploughing with it but as it’s a standard set up and in the brochure it should be perfect!
The Cub was built to take a range of implements and is suitably built to do so, is this Westwood more of a mowing machine?
The plough is: Brinley Plough

alanKeymasterThank you all for the suggestions.
Zenoah and Xenoah are two names I have never heard off before but connections with Allen, Danarm and Rupp are spot on.
I shall have a look and see if there are any photos that they are associated with and finish the A-Z.
Many thanks.

alanKeymasterThere appears to be a make of machinery for almost every letter of the alphabet except for X and Z.
If anyone can think of anything suitable for X or Z then the club can say it has a list of machines for every letter.
I’ve looked through the 70 Years of Garden Machinery book and cannot spy anything yet!

alanKeymasterThank you, Geoff. I’m a little bleary eyed. Just another 355 photos left!
I would like to add that the gallery has only been possible because the VHGMC members have generously submitted photos of a vast range and multitude of machines and gadgets. Indeed the gallery has ended up far greater than ever expected. It’s probably the best photo reference for UK horticultural machinery – thank you VHGMC members.
I worked out that over 99% of the photos are of machines that are physically in the UK, even if the machine in question was originally made in the US, Australia, Europe or anywhere else.
It is quite an eye-opener when sifting through photographs as similarities between machines start to become apparent. Near identical machines labelled up with different manufacturers logos or decals are not uncommon.
As expected there are gaps in the gallery with some manufacturers and machines missing. If anything is missing then members can of course let us know. Photos posted on the forum can be added to the gallery pages by admin as long as we know what the machine is of course! If I’ve wrongly labelled anything on the galleries then you can also type a revision under the relevant photo and we can correct it.

alanKeymasterThere are some other Jalo adverts that I’ve just put on the Jalo archive – haven’t done the actual equipment yet.
Very similar types of adverts for the Jalo and Westo!

alanKeymasterGlad to be of help!

alanKeymasterAs I squint at the logo at the top edge does it say something like “WHEN YOU BUY…” and then at the bottom say “YOU BUY PROTECTION” ? Some sort of advertising slogan? I’m probably wrong.
I’ve just looked through the sprayers etc on my never ending sorting of archive photos and cannot see anything remotely similar.
