Hi All

A very strawy ploughing match Called the Highlands of Fife,Started in the bygone days in the times of the horse  stopped in 1939 restarted in 2009 as has gone from strength to strength .Match was held Saturday 7 Th March

eighty tractors took part three pair of horses and for the first time in history three horticultural tractors took part.Very strawy but we were all the same ,it just made it a little bit harder Judging time again have fun

It has taken three years to get a place in this event,   the people were very impressed with the tractors and the ploughs in fact I was asked to plough a couple of gardens

Hi All

I thought I would let you see my first attempt at ploughing  grassland 

I ploughed it with my Gutbrod 1032 and my Gutbrod plough I ploughed 12 inches wide and 6 inches deep I was very pleased with the result hope you like

Hi old Buzzard

The ground should have been ploughed in October to give the frost a chance to break up the clods but as the people did not buy the place until this year it means the ground is  a bit wetter but makes for a good trial, Thanks George S

It looks like that ground is awfully damp to be plowing.

 

Is that normal over there?

 

Where I am, on the Solway Plain, the ground is always damp. Unless it's water logged. :rolleyes:

Looks good George, nice tidy job.

 

Also good that the Gutbrod rotovator isn't pulling the grass back to the top, time to get mine sorted and put it to use
