    Where could I pick up a set of them. I tried the local auto shop and they suggested Halfords in Cavan. They don't stock them.

    Nice job.

    Lad I worked for when I was a student use to use 18mm re-bar in a straight length of and put 2 insulators on them for the 2 stands of wire. Sucklers so kept the calves back also. I don't know what they cost each but were very strong.

    3 downsides

    * very heavy to move around. you wount grab a dozen and walk on
    * needed a heavy lump hammer or sledge to drive them ( could have welded foot grip I suppose)
    * couldn't forget one in the grass as I don't think the topper or mower would digest them to well

    I use 13mm rebar here with those blue insulators . 1 more downside, if wire happens to get out of insulator, or on a corner pull it manage to touch iron stake, a power station wouldn't drive the fencer, occasionally resulting in cattle making a break for it....

    Hi there. Ive posted this incase anyone else has had the same problem.
    basically the fergy drill plough would fit onto the mf 240 back arms. the 240 has bigger arms to take cat 1 and cat 2 balls.

    i removed the hex bolt and the pins for the arms to go on and replaced with countersunk ones. some fo the things i did ( secretly proud as most things do not normally go as planned!)
    1. soaked the nuts in penetrating oil.
    2. removed the pins using large socket and wrench
    3. had to remove the square countersunk part of the bolt with grind to fit in the hole on the ridger
    4. put back together and fits the tractor with a hairs with to spare
    ive attached pics to any wizzkids that can embed, thanks
