expeatfarmer 591 #26 Posted March 21, 2016 I think if you were ploughing for real as opposed to show/competition then you would go much faster and not worry too much about leaving perfect furrows. Throwing the furrow over and breaking it up by ploughing faster would certainly cut down on secondary cultivation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C-101plowerpower 548 #27 Posted March 21, 2016 i've tried first too but that was way to slow, think it also depends on soil conditions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Fife Plooman 632 #28 Posted March 21, 2016 Hi All It looks as if you all had a good time,nice to share ideas and come away happy if you come in first or last you are all winners and friends to the end Ps Norman You will still need one or two more trips to Scotland to learn the craft Wee tip when ploughing the finish The last four furrows raise the depth inch each time then last furrow make little bit deeper this gives the plough some ground to hold onto and will not slip over as you describe otherwise well done to you all Frae the Fife plooman 3 nigel, Stormin and Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

expeatfarmer 591 #30 Posted March 21, 2016 Really enjoyed your company and advice many thanks Tam I think we need a repeat when is your next match in Scotland? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #31 Posted March 21, 2016 Glad you enjoyed it Tam. Must admit, being my idea I was a bit worried how it would go. I hope you can all come again and bring more with you. I'm thinking of coming up to Scone Palace again, but for the weekend this time and with the Black Horse. Put the date in the up coming shows section. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nigel 1,876 #36 Posted March 21, 2016 Well that's the first time I've ever seen a countax ploughing , how did it perform compared with the wheel horses and gutbrods Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #37 Posted March 22, 2016 It performed well, Nigel. Had a nice little plough on the back as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Triumph66 1,256 #38 Posted March 22, 2016 Great photos and clearly a good day had by all. Be interesting to see how the ploughing will look at RPT! 1 the showman reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #39 Posted March 26, 2016 The match had a good write up in the Cumberland News yesterday. Some photo's, but none horticultural. We got favourable comments though. Seems we created a lot of interest with spectators and ploughmen, showing what our little machines can do. Looks like a horticultural section will be a permanent fixture. Many thanks to you Scots lads for attending. Couldn't have done it without you. 1 Alan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
