[QUOTE="Old McDonald, post: 2358984, member: 47276"] I stopped using a mouldboard plough when I moved to Australia in 1979 for a few reasons - the size of the fields so unable to see the far end; creeks running through them so several odd shaped blocks in each; patches of timber for stock shade; and zig-zag fence lines. I used a disc plough or scarifier (now only a scarifier). start at the outside and like the proverbial bird continue in ever decreasing circles. No stopping, no lifting out, no backing up, just keep going until you complete the block. I still have the old MAFF ploughing book though and did use that in my early days for guidance to measure the headlands and "lands" - a little grey Fergie and two furrow one way plough. [/QUOTE]
