I guess so, but it does have a bearing as you're cutting a 6"x10" slice and inverting it, but I understand its the board push that displaces it. I run my plough at about 10.5" push so its similar...
When I do my first run after the split I only just skim the surface with my rear body, I try and get it so I can crush it on the next run with the first 2 cop furrows. To be honest, it feels like a frickin' gamble every time I do a cop, I wish I could just bang the two together like a few others...
Trouble is, we very rarely get turf for a practice! What would I need between the two furrow walls width wise, I was assuming 26/28"? Also, I've heard people use scratch shares, assume I could just stick something like a YL57 on my plough for the chip, that's about the narrowest share I have...
Just got my Ransome good ploughing book out again looking at grassland starts, as we seemed to be talking about them at a match the other day. The book doesn't explain it well, I think it leads you to do an 11 furrow start. I get doing a couple of chips each way (like the first pic in the...
If you advertise that on ebay or FB market place you'd describe it as a match plough, which is what most folk seem to think :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
I'd suggest it is simply scrap value...
Yes, we will indeed talk first, just wanted to try and get some facts/logic.
Re fall, not really. What we did do though is put a riser in above the suspect drain so if it really starts to back up then it will start spewing out the top...then it really will be a problem! The riser is half full...
I can see your point. Trouble is, said issue is surrounded by challenges - electric gates, camera poles, gate control post, cattle grid, GPO cable, etc.. its like digging in inner-city London! Tree roots are a devil to stop no matter what you do...
I suspect in my case A (the landowner) probably also owned the land B (me) resides on when the drainage was put in all those years ago and it was all tenanted out. These are all really well constructed clay drains with brick built inspection chambers with silt traps. I suspect it cost a fortune...
Our property relies on a good flow through a perimeter land drain which runs through a couple of fields, a couple of gardens and then down a private lane, into the grounds of a private country hall/estate and into some ponds. At the halls posh entrance we had trouble with tree roots in the clay...
@MF ARTICS join the Friends of Ferguson heritage club, there is a chap on there (Dave Walker) who worked for MF in the 70's and knows an awful lot about them. That might be a good start to create a register. There is also a chap in the FOFH club who previously worked at an MF dealer and then...
