Triumph66 1,256 #2 Posted November 9, 2014 The ploughing look very good to my untutored eye. The countryside look like the Russian Steppes with all that sky! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slf-uk 914 #6 Posted November 10, 2014 Really nice pics thanks for sharing I'd love to have a go Ditto Maybe we need to ask the plough experts to start some MOM ploughing classes, it seems like a number of people want to have a go. 1 squonk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would be a great thing. Unfortunately we are rather spread out. But if we could possibly have a get together weekend at a match some day, that would be good.

The Fife Plooman 632 #14 Posted November 11, 2014 Hi all The ploughs are as follows Ransome TS42 pulled by MG crawler the wheelhorse has a plough borrowed from a BMB cultmate walk behind My own plough is part of a pair one left hand one right hand They are called a butterfly ploughs but when you are competing you can only use one plough hope this gives you an idea what we use Thanks George S 3 slf-uk, Triumph66 and Lauber1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slf-uk 914 #15 Posted November 11, 2014 More great pictures. I notice that the last picture has a blade rather than a disc to make the cut. Which is better? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Fife Plooman 632 #16 Posted November 12, 2014 I have tried disc but as it was too big I reverted to knife skimmer my winter project is to find or make a smaller disc or make a Scotch skimmer will keep you updated Thanks George S 1 Lauber1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
