Plough match area dimensions

[MRT]

Mini Mrt wants to make a model diorama of a ploughing match in 1/32. Question is, how big are the areas to plough?

 

[Pennine Ploughing]

75 yards long, 14 yards wide

 

[MRT]

75 yards long, 14 yards wide

Thank you, is that the same area for horses, 2,3 furrow, vintage and newer or are they different?

 

[chaffcutter]

That’s vintage plot size, reversibles usually 100 long, width varying for no of furrows

(and often, how much land is available and what fits the shape of the ground)!

 

[Pennine Ploughing]

The above is for vintage trailed, vintage mounted and classic classes,
High cut class its 75 yards x 10 yards
Horses I think are 60 yards x 6 yards.

As for modern day I don't know

Plenty of space Down Under.

 

[MRT]

Thanks for the information, he has started the scene (we no longer have a kitchen table) next silly question, he has limited space so planning a 2F grey fergie and 3F conventional behind a 5610 and a pair of horses - which would start from one side or do they all do an opening split??

I thought you had to pay horses to attend and then they get all stroppy if tractors are close.

Used to be they'd work all day for a bag of oats.

 

[MRT]

Thanks for the advice, in the end he picked up second place in the under 16s, with it which he was really happy with, little sister got first though...

 

[Fergie Ploughman]

Too much of a good thing, have you clocked the c-section heifer left of the shed?

Now you mention it, but I am but a lowly arable farmer and was sometime in the eighties that I last had anything to do with stock
