[meadowfield 1,900]

Now that Bendy is fully hydraulicised it was time to get test the plough.

Yup, it works....

Need to fix it and get back up the field

You need to make three sighting poles.   You should have seen my first effort on 'Ecks JD.

no need for sighting poles, just a steady hand on the wheel

It takes a little while to get the hang of it Mark, but very enjoyable once you get going

Hi

Try and get the heel at the rear of the plough on the ground that will give you a good starting point. you can start by adding length to the top link and work from there

it is all about having fun, although it can sometimes be frustrating carry on ploughing.

No need for sighting poles or a steady hand, Electronics engineer + Tractor + Plough = Satellite Steering

Keep trying...Practice makes perfect...

Designing the system, Tapping into  'Sky' and getting away with it for free.

  I think I'll pass on that, thanks.

It's like those chess games you could get where you played against the machine, you keep trying to plough a straighter furrow than your tractor and tomtom. Gives you a target to beat, especially if your'e playing alone. 🤓

looking good, but like the fife plooman says a longer top link will help, when the ploughs in the ground, there should be barely any pressure on the top link (it should almost be floating as such) all the pressure should be on the lower links, ideally for conventional ploughing you need an adjustable right hand lower link so you can angle the plough differently when cutting in to when your ploughing normally

Yep, gotta get the suck leveled out
