The Fife Plooman

Hi all

I have reached plan Z I am now on plan A again I have used my Gutbrod plough beam and married it to the BMB frog and board only need to work on the skimmer or disc

I am also looking at a longer mouldboard to fit the Gutbrod frog  the board I have on is  22 inches from back to front the new one is 39 inches from back to front

Two plans on the go if one works I will be happy

Hi Norman let me set up at back of your tractor thanks

Hi Norman for match ploughing 5 inches is the minimum 

Hi Norman I am now on plan Z

Hi Norman I plough six inches Tam ploughs about seven it suits his plough

Hi all time to judge I had wee bend in my finish let myself down very good day seemed to have lost some pics on the day

Hi all attended two matches at the weekend wee bit cold but good fun I will let you judge lots of good comments about wee tractors ploughing

Hi all

Had my new plough in the ground today for the first not very bonny but a start has been made

Need to make mouldboard tilt and check for plough for running parallel with the tractor but in principal it is OK both things can be sorted seems easy to pull the ground was not the best it was barley straw that had been cultivated but I have made a start, and happy it can be altered to work well

I will be giving this set up a try this week as I have 20 acres to practise on this should be fun will let you all know how I get on when my disc and skimmer it trimmed to fit will be trying it also

Hi If you are lucky and look on the bottom of the towing hitch you may find a plate with the date on it

Hi The board is of a BMB walk behind here is my recent add on. the stay at the back of the board and a scotch skimmer until my skimmer disc arrives thank you for your interest

Here is another part of of the plough that has to be trialled at least it will look the part

Hi The board is of a BMB walk behind here is my recent add on. the stay at the back of the board and a scotch skimmer until my skimmer disc arrives thank you for your interest

Hi all

Some pictures from the last two or three matches we attended we had a great time we were invited to Blairgowrie math for the first time they were impressed with standard of work I managed to get 1st for my feering second for my ploughing and 1st for my finish hope you like

Hi all

This is my new attempt at making my plough work

The problem with my Gutbrod plough is the mouldboard is not long enough for competition match ploughing although I have great success with it .Think it is time for a change the photos are of a mock up of how I would like the plough to look. I will have nine inches more beam giving me space for a disc and a skimmer, the mould board is 12 inches longer and should make a nicer furrow only time will tell once I am happy with settings it will all be welded up

Hi 

Can you post a close up of where the plough meets the tractor do not be too keen to cut beam [ lets have a look first please]

Hi 4x4 here is my Gutbrod plough modified to meet the conditions we plough in. do not have room for skimmer and disc but the skimmer is better for the stubble as you have hydraulics you could add a weight to the frame

Hi Close up of skimmer

Hope you like 

The ploughing took place on an area of ground that used to be an open cast site. it was very hard, very stony , wet, and raining managed to help a new member of our group to set up his plough. some of the big tractors struggled as well as us in the horticultural group but all in all a good day

Hi all here are some pictures of the Horticultural working section at our local rally at Scone Palace grounds it was well attended although I was never out the working area as I was busy assisting some new members  with their ploughs great fun last one is my wee dog dog tired after a hard day peace at last

Is that the Blues brothers from Scotland 

Thank you for the compliment

All my rally pictures are taken with my phone and are usually of good quality  glad you like
