[QUOTE="New Puritan, post: 5967586, member: 39018"] I'm slowly learning to plough, but could do with some advice for basic setting up. The plough in question is a 4 furrow Dowdeswell DP7C, with 14 inch UCN boards. On a clean(ish) stubble field it's doing a good job and I'm quite pleased, but where there's a lot of surface material it's not always burying very well. I've got the "Ransomes book of ploughing" which a much older thread on here suggested someone new to ploughing should get hold of. Looking at that, it makes a few comments about setting the skimmers correctly, but I'm not sure what point I should be starting from. If I am ploughing 7 inches deep, what should be the difference in height of the main boards and the skimmers? And what angle should the skimmers be at, relative to the boards? Apologies if this makes little sense - and many thanks in advance for anyone who suggests anything that might help. [/QUOTE]
