Like a dual compound motorbike tyre you mean?
@opininionated This is what we do to ploughing like that
Now then, there were 4 rows of plots that day, yes the horticultural boys were at the bottom of the field so they didn't have far to travel! The third row was only used towards the end of the day for people to have a play on. Rows 1 and 2 had both match ploughers and working day entries in. The match ploughers I put at one end of rows 1 and 2 to make it easier on the judges so they were not walking too far, and they were from well out of the county!!
Yes the plots did look to be on an angle but the field was marked out with gps, it does show you were the real straight line is!
@John 1594 why did you not enter the competition ploughing? And you could of had any of the other plots in the third row, you only had to ask!
At the end of the day this was all in aid of charity and for everyone to have some fun, we manages to raise £1,100, and to hopefully show some none farming folk the skills of what goes on, and from the response that I've had from village folk as well as farming everyone enjoyed the day, and hope that I'm putting the event on next year.
Emma.

That will make a hole in the bank
There seldom is a perfect plot at any ploughing match but you, of all people, are in no position to make judgements. Having displayed your ignorance in all matters on this competition ploughing forum I am surprised that people still take you seriously.
Are you a complete pain in the arse in all aspects of your life?

The front furrow is too large going one direction ( darker furrows ) and slightly small going the other, possibly could just pass as average commercial ploughing but certainly not worth crowing about
As one of the judges I would like to congratulate Emma for organising a brilliant match, yes their was some trash to deal with but the people who made the effort got the rewards. Standards were generally good it was a pleasure for us to come and judge your match, apart from one ploughman john kitching, we did not know any of the ploughmen, which never bothers me cause I judge what I see not thee man were ever I am judging.
Obviously your problem with letters meant you either did not read my last reply or your comprehension was not sufficient for you to understand it.
You have now excelled yourself. Basically you have accused two of the best Classic ploughmen in the country, bearing in mind that the Classic class is now probably the most competetive class in the country, both of us British and European Champions, of talking out of our backsides, whilst excelling in the very same yourself.
Both of us have helped numerous youngsters to success. Both of us have given tips to novice ploughmen whilst we were judging. Both of us have got ploughs running for people. Both of us have regular phone contacts who we help and advise.
What have you done John? ............ who have you helped?
We have even seen you turn on your buddy who brought you to the match. You have even accused some considerably fair judges who travelled a fair distance to the match, of nepotism / favouritism. You have called a guy with a topper a muppet despite the fact that he was helping you by 'rolling'. You have insulted numerous capable older ploughmen on here and quite frankly all of us deserve a lot more respect than dispensed by you.
The person you really need to take to task is the buddy who is allegedly helping you. Most of us on here are of the opinion that he is cajoling you into making a bigger and bigger fool of yourself on a day to day basis, nor would you need to be a brain surgeon to work out who he is. Said blind man on said galloping horse would readily see who he is.
Surely your intellect is sufficient to tell you that when the hole gets to a certain depth, then it's time to put down the spade and stop digging. You don't even know the rules. At least you should be up to speed on that one. One other point you need to take on board is that the winner is simply the guy with the least faults which usually means that he is the guy with the most points, bit like any other sport which relies on the highest tally of points really.
I definitely have the drop on Roy Stokes though. When you first came on here talking down to us, Roy told me to be very careful of you because you were posting here purely as a wind up merchant to trip us up. From day one I was telling him that you were simply a feckwit who should stick to something he understood, something simple like fixing anvils. See - I was right all along.

I have watched, argued and laughed on regular occasion whilst John has poured scourn on forum members who;
Buy new tractors
Use GPS
Use finance to grow their business
Prefer modern farming methods
Use a mechanic/dealer to fix their machines
Etc etc
The list is endless, debates telling members his old Brown is a match for a modern tractor was a particular favourite of mine.
Whilst commenting on all the above John has laid claim to making larger profits from steering clear of all of the above which may or may not be true because as we all knew whilst he was commenting on the subject, he had no idea of what the other businesses balance sheets actually looked like, so I invited John to publish the profit/loss page of his best ever year and I would do the same, adjustments would be made to consider the amount of people employed, I was not surprised when John declined the invitation.
It was also a surprise for me to find out that whilst the old 1594 is a match for any modern tractor it didn't make an appearance at the ploughing match, the ploughing outfit was hauled to and from the match by a more modern tractor.

this post proves why it doesn't work,worn holes,bent legs and wrong bolts and who uses a piece of wood as a straight edge
This explains the quietness on the other machinery threads.
