Hi Sammy;
This picture took me back to 1967 - God I am old !
These kits were sold here by Paramount (?). I remember a neighbouring farmer to the place I was a student before college, had one of these rigs.
I think the rods & levers running from the rear tractor controls operated the clutch, hi&lo lever & hydraulic controls.
The farmer I knew used a Nuffield & a David Brown 990, no two gears the same; he had a 4 furrow trailed JD plough. Either the Nuffield was pulling the DB & plough, or the DB was pushing the Nuffield & plough - you could see which by the amount of smoke from the tractor exhaust
stack!!!
Theres nothing new in agric engineering.
Cheers David
