Machinery
THE exhibition of Messrs. Ransomes, Sims and Jeffries Limited of Ipswich, England, attracted a great deal of attention at the 1986 Royal Show. An extraordinarily large selection of agri cultural implements for animal and tractor draught was assembled showing the wide variety of planta tion machinery manufactured by this progressive firm.
Of interest to overseas visitors were the light steel ploughs, such as are used in the South Seas, and the light expanding disc harrows. The latter’s disc gangs can be arranged for in-throw or out throw when working between rows of growing crops.
One corner of Messrs. Ransomes, Sims and Jeffries Ltd.’s display was given over to a show of the many types of lawn mowers made at Ips wich. There were hand machines of both roller and side-wheel designs, special mowers for golf courses, and giant machines for keeping pro dromes and playing fields in good condition.***
