[QUOTE="Howard150, post: 6209498, member: 30002"] As long as you enjoyed yourself and you got the land into a state where you can work it then you achieved your goal. In doing so you saved another plough from being scrapped. As for the quality of work then a couple of the legs looked to have had a bit of a rive. Up against it on that tractor with those tyres no matter how far it goes across on the cross shaft. If you were using it commercially your landsides would be scrap in a very short while. As a consequence the board will be running at too shallow an angle to the direction of travel and will not work as they were designed to. Discs need careful attention to setting, as do the skimmers once the discs are set. Try and avoid overskimming as the furrow will rock on the skimming and it will be impossible to close it up. No substitute for experience on this one as the more you skim the less soil you will have available. In an ideal world, when looking at conventional ploughing, it should not be possible to tell the number of furrows on the plough it was done with and should look as the whole piece was done in one pass. Don’t fret over the work you have done. A lot of people been going to matches for 20 odd years and still can’t get it right! [/QUOTE]
