[QUOTE="Pennine Ploughing, post: 5946098, member: 999"] I set 3 poles out, 1 on each headland scratch, and 1 @ 15 meters beyond the far headland scratch, get well back and drive up straight the first pole, remove and continue, using 3 eyes I drive with left hand leaning comfortably back in the seat, casting my eye on the steering wheel, sit lined up with the nut in the center, comfortably, as you will hold that position easier, and a quick glance as you go up the plot to see your sitting right, and while doing the first run, you can feel the movement of the tractor through your ass on the seat to correct it going through tramlines etc, , now for the 3 eye to watch the plough, I put my right hand on 1 of the plough leavers, yes i Know you cannot see the plough, but if anything untoward should happen like a stone in a disc that upsets the plough, it will be felt through the handle your holding with your right hand, it dont happen often, but seen ploughmen doing the second half of the 1st run with it not doing as it should, right hand on a leaver may alert the driver sooner, as for the first time round of the crown, if you split is wide you will have lots of soil to get back in, and this can make it high, if it 2 narrow, you will have nowhere to put your first furrows in, but it is what works for you, in vintage hyd, I leave the front furrow where it is, and increase the pitch on rear body, also pull the front board back a little, front furrow needs to be 7/8 of the width you are ploughing at, and 4" deep + the soil on the top from the split, rear furrow needs to be a good 5" deep, front disc with under cut on and remove the skim, this will help it fold together better, rear disc as it should be,and cross shaft 1 turn narrower than normal ploughing, the above will keep the plough more level and pack the furs as it should, alone with keeping the start more level for the first time around, on the second time around i reset front disc to normal, replace front skim, and reduce the pitch on rear body to nearly where it ploughs the plot at, turn cross shaft hand 1 turn wider to normal ploughing, and slid the ploug on the cross shaft to normal ploughing position , front body ploughs 5.5" deep, and 6" with rear on this lap, on third time round and last on the crown, return rear body pitch to normal ploughing position and away you go [/QUOTE]
