[quote="Bill from Scotland"](quoted from post at 10:57:01 04/07/13) Its taken a while but I finally managed to get onto my neighbours land to try out my MF 1155 and 880 plow. Its been a terrible season so far, rain and snow much of the time, just never seems to end. As some of you may know the tractor was bought on Ebay a few years ago from a guy in central Nebraska and the plow from a dealership in Ontario. I had someone containerise them and shipped back to Scotland. The tractor had a wrecked engine which I replaced from a MF 850 combine, the plow was resassembled as it needed to completely dismantled to utilise container space. /quote]
Hi, Bill. A Bill here too. Sorry can't help with the plow settings it's been probably 40 yrs. since I plowed a field. But was wondering about the economics of getting a big tractor with a wrecked engined in the US, a big plow in Canada and shipping it to Scotland? If you wouldn't mind sharing the why of it. Not critisizing at all, just curious about why people do things that on the surface don't seem to be economically viable to me.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
