Thanks ts59, we're not allowed diff lock and I try never to use draft, so I find without weight, I'm either digging holes or tearing at the ground and destroying next run, I added water a few years back and the tractor travels away in most conditions, I was just wondering would radials help, but...
Thanks very much, I do indeed listen to everyone, that's what has gotten me this far, but I would never assume my way is best, as after 50 different approaches, the cat still gets skinned😁😁
Thanks for advice, 11inches width is enough I feel in the furrow, I might try the 280/85r28 for a few matches, they were on a dexta i bought and have two wheel weights each side, I'd have plenty traction with them at low air pressure.
Hi Pennine ploughing, is there something better than water you would recommend, I've been using back tyres three quarter filled with water for years without a problem and many more like me, you wouldn't travel to far with a plough on sticky ground from now on with out it, I was just wondering...
Hi all, would any of you recommend radial tyres over cross ply, I have super Kings 12.4-28 on an fe35 for ploughing, ballast with water and have got on very well with them, I also have continental 280/85r28 radials on another tractor, they are 3inches lower in height, would it be worth changing...
Thanks all for your replies, I must adjust the plough more when ploughing first two runs on neighbours side, I had in the past been doing most of the straightening with the tractor only, especially on second run
Hi Fergie Ploughman, when your neighbours ploughing is not straight, do you measure from the furrow edge on your side to front disc of your plough, 'whilst your tractor is in neighbours furrow bottom', as you move along or is there a better way
Yes it's the same rules here, just we plough 16 furrows before ploughing to the neighbour, sometimes if the plots are a little narrow, you will struggle if you don't get it spot on parallel, on first run at the neighbours side. You will see the judges counting the neighbours eight furrows and...
Thanks for replying MrNoo and my dexta, in my case the man in question meant no harm atall, he was out for a day with his tractor, once the field was brown behind him he was happy, my problem was he finished deep very crooked, like a snake and when I tried to make it parallel to mine, which on...
Hi all. I would like to get your opinions on what best to do at a ploughing match when your neighbours ploughing is miles out of line. I had a match in 2019, it was one which I was hoping to qualify for my county. My neighbours ploughing was poor all day, now he was enjoying his day, his...
