    Dan, what an excellent display. Amongst the interested spectators were there any other collectors?

There is a 3/8″ hole half way along one side of the main tube; this for bolt on back of Barford to screw into and lock it in the tool holder.

    The hitch consists of a tube that fits in the rear tool bracket on the Barford. This tube is closed at each end but has a hole in each end, one end is a slot to allow for movement. A pin drops down through jaw of trailer and this tube. I will need to dig actual hitch out of shed to get dimensions and photos.

    No the VHGMC have no part in the organisation at GDSF. The club does have a ‘club stand’ and many members exhibit though. Have any exhibitors from previous years had entry forms yet?

    Very tidy with neat improvements (oil gauge and dynamo).

    navanman, thanks for that bit of info. Would probably be worth someone making a bulk purchase, if tread pattern was suitable.

    Although I am not a ploughman I can see the problem, something that happens in other sports as well , eg Land Rover trialling when does a Road Taxed Vehicle (RTV) move from standard to modified. I think what you are suggesting needs discussing by the ploughing committee with input from yourself and others.

    I think it needs someone to win the lottery and get a batch of 6.00 x 22 made, there must be a market for them, if the price is right.

    11000 was a worldwide figure not UK only. Might be worth contacting the SIMAR website( Alain Charles )

    The figure of 11000 Rototillers is I suspect a worldwide figure as UK production of the 35 and 56 was a long way short.
