Dowdeswell Plough behind an FW 60. Roger Dowdeswell was a farmer who started an engineering company to make implements for the large, high horsepower tractors during the late 1960's through to the 1990's. They used Ransomes parts for bodies, shares etc. but later fitted a range of popular ones from other plough makers. In their later years they took over the Ransomes share and body manufacturer when Ransomes pulled out of plough and implement manufacture and eventually made their own brand of rotovators and other implements, all heavy duty and well made products. Unfortunately Roger Dowdeswell died at an early age and the company folded. The rotovator side was taken over by Standen Engineering of Ely, Cambridgeshire and are still being produced today.
