The classic plough made for the Dexta is the Ransome Robin, TS1013 or TS54 basically the same plough with the former being a later version with no depth wheel for hydraulic (qualitrol) ploughing. TS1014 was a single furrow plough. For match ploughing you will probably need YL bodies, rather than th...
