I cheat and use gps and a hydraulic top link to make a 24m scratch
My brother insists on ploughing as small a headland as possible. Drives me potty I do all the spray and fertilizer.
Bg
Lift out when back furrow hits the headland mark
Drop in when your back axle cross's the headland mark
Works for us.
Never have any fishermen come here and we've got plenty of worms. Perhaps they're your problemOff topic slightly I was ploughing last Monday and as usually happens, a fisherman came in wanting worms, he walked up and down the field for half hour and got only 6 worms he says he never seen so few worms in a ploughing field!
Still ploughing the same acreage though, old boss who didn't do any spraying fert or baling used to say it's a waste of diesel and time leaving a big headland so I used to ignore himI've never marked out always do it by eye/guestimation leaving say four or five plough widths depending on where the gateway is.
Never have any issues with bumpy outside tramline either, just feel it's counterproductive leaving a mahoosive headland when you can leave the plough in a little longer, but hey what do I know just self taught.
True just feels longer, I do all fert if there was a problem would alter my technique.[emoji106]Still ploughing the same acreage though, old boss who didn't do any spraying fert or baling used to say it's a waste of diesel and time leaving a big headland so I used to ignore him
I know what you mean, who does the spraying ?True just feels longer, I do all fert if there was a problem would alter my technique.[emoji106]
Had a mounted sprayer when I 1st started, having never sprayed before I naively/stupidly said no as was worried about doing something stupid like killing off a crop.I know what you mean, who does the spraying ?
I never mark out anything just plough away
if plough close to hedge more risk off pulling in stones ??Same here as long as the scrats on the inside of the tramline ,nowt worse than spraying headlands and all the ins n outs are right were the sprayer runs
Not reallyif plough close to hedge more risk off pulling in stones ??
How exactly do you go about kicking yourself in the knackers [emoji53]No I lift out when the front tyre hits the tramline.
Besides I'm ploughman, Drillman (obviously ) Sprayerman, Fert spreaderman corn cart man, and Balerman here so if it's rough in the wrong place it's my knackers I will have to kick.
