Tom,
I'm not an expert, perhaps one will be along :wink:
But think TS59 was designed for Major. Folk do use them on Dextas, but I think you really want a Robin, which was designed for the Dexta. Not cheap, but will hold its value.
Good luck :wink:

TS59 will be OK with either YL or EPIC bodies. Discs and skimmers can be found new and s/h but are very expensive.

I have found my PM with EPIC bodies is a very good plough behind Dotty but its a bit shorter than the TS59. I have a Robin with EPIC bodies that I have yet to restore/repair. I am not a fan of 10" furrows on our land.

I have a TS59 with digger bodies and am looking for a skimmer on a leg rather than mounted on the disc. I have one but have not found another yet. This plough would be way too big for a Dexta.
