What a difference a day makes

Recommended Posts

Hi All

What a difference a day makes. Local ploughing match very hard dry ground I could make nothing of it in fact made a mess with capital M

The brain was put in gear fitted a bracket for a 56 lbs weight fitted a Scotch skimmer from the horse day,tried it on Sunday the-9th October different field different area different result although my finish let me down I still managed first place

I was very happy with the changes that were made . little more tweaking  and it will be fine

As I was saying what a difference a day makes 

Hope you enjoy

Yes, very nice plowing George, but if I may, can I ask a question about the workings of these ploughs? The Brinly and many other ploughs have a screw adjustment to change the landing of the plow, and while I see your tractor can go up and down on depth I don't see an adjustment for the suck. Am I missing something?

Hi HeadExam

Here are some points for you to look at, the winding handle below the steering wheel gives  you control over entry into or out of the ground also notice the slotted heel piece ,this can be moved to maintain the suck required hope this helps

Thanks for your comments
