Doubling the Landsides

[Bury the Trash]

Too long or chunky landsides on all but thd back furrow can disrupt the early stage of the following furrow slice in work and on ucn it is disrupted enough anyway

All I've ever done is Add plenty of length to to rear landslide .

It was very noticable when we went from ransomes epic bodies to Bamford (kv) hydrein. Bigger or rather longer and more sideways movement mouldboard, , but also as said above , missing the shape of that cast ransomes share. Trouble is with that , I always used to think it was too blunt adding draft so yeah it was better rather than too much 'suck' when worn down a bit a mentioned above

I must admit I've never had a problem with too much pressure against lansides, only with keeping the tractor straight or neatly agaisnt the furrow wall.

but of course Some of that has been lack grip on land with a 2wd tractor , it's why we used to wear out the left hand brake before the right

I sometimes wonder if we were separated at birth

Following on from the point about disruption caused by landsides, this is often the cause of badly paired match ploughing. When everything else is set correctly, too much pressure on the back landslide will disrupt the front furrow of the next bout.
One important factor often overlooked is the depth of the landslide. For best results it should be close to the depth you are ploughing at. This will even out the force applied by the landslides and just as important, will prevent a build-up of soil on the frog and leg, something else which damages the following furrow.

I'll try to remember to measure one when I'm near the plough parts in the next couple of days. Whereabouts in the country are you based.

Spacers measured 6mm thick. definitely thinner than genuine Landslides spurious are a bit thinner. Don't forget to get longer bolts when fitting.

Just weld them on. Once ours are done gas them in half and weld to back of next landside.

Not match ploughing standards though.

Too much like hard work, much easier and quicker to just pop the bolts through and put the nuts on.

Yes, common annoyance is soil build up on the leg just above the shin and a bit of inappropriate wear or soil sticking to the frog / lack of protection in that void behind the shin....
that's interesting comment about the depth of the landside. I have added a short landside to the top of the rear body long one before instead of the 'packer' pad they make for the purpose, which bolts outside the end of
It and is just over 6 inches tall.

The standard landsides are 4inches high, so an additional 4 inches would be interesting to try on all bodies, just another one or part worn one welded on to the top line of the original one (to add height not thickness of course) taper / shaped to tuck in behind the shin and a hole or cutaway where the second leg / frog bolt is.

I think I shall try that as one of the next mods
