[QUOTE="wuddy, post: 5943712, member: 59038"] I don’t think having a pole on the tractor is a good idea as when the tractor rocks from side to side you cannot keep it in line. Where do you have your poles? I put one on either plot marker then one 8-10 meters outside the plot, I then get lined up and move the first pole a third to half way up the plot. Always stop if you turn around to look at the plough then take your time lining poles up again before you move off. If you are referring to the plough pulling to the left when you first drop it in at the start of the opening this is where practice pays off! Presuming you have adjustable check chains, When you are practising an opening and are two or three meters in stop and tighten your check chains and take a note of where they are, you can then do this to hold the plough in the right place before you start an opening. Once the plough is into the required depth slacken them off so that the rocking of the tractor doesn’t move the plough about! I am sure others have their own tips and trick but that’s how I do it!
