I agree with you Pete, the horrible truth is grass does not tell lies and retains the true picture. To be fair this can also be very informative and instructional.I find grass shows EVEN MORE of my mistakes!

However if a good job is done it does look fantastic.I agree with you Pete, the horrible truth is grass does not tell lies and retains the true picture. To be fair this can also be very informative and instructional.
You lads are spoilt getting to plough as much ley ground as you do. In the last 10 yrs there has only been 2 matches in my area on ley.
Tidy looking job there.
Did you do a grassland opening or two little chips in underneath the crown ???
I have got a turf lifter. Could I utilise that in some way?Much more difficult to do any gardening on grass as well!
Yes I attempted to do a split opening but I must admit it wasnt the best.Did you do a grassland opening or two little chips in underneath the crown ???
Damn you and your fancy ploughs, I'd struggle my balks off trying to get back in nicely with my little Robin!It's the first photo I posted on here.
Judges don`t judge openings on grassland and modified shares are allowed, so no problem as I see it.This is great! OK you have some kind dirt but you are thinking outside the box. Adapt the plough to create your desire and leave the judges scratching their heads! We will all be doing this soon.
some very nice work there ,one tip put a extra disc on for the first run it will bring it out cleaner. i work on 3 x 8" wide sods ,like your thinking on the back thoA farmer near by had a corner of a field for me to try a grassland opening.
Step 1 Cut the rear shear down to 8" wide, cut out one furrow and push the furrow 12" over the grass.
Step 2 Widen the plough width out to 16" then with a specially adapted front shear gaining another 4" width turn round and complete the split.
Step 3 For a third attempt at this the key is shallowness.
Would welcome any comments on this.
I don`t think your furrow shifter would be allowed in vintage somehow.This is great! OK you have some kind dirt but you are thinking outside the box. Adapt the plough to create your desire and leave the judges scratching their heads! We will all be doing this soon.
Is that rolling ?Are we not forgetting that "there is no opening" in grassland in the vintage classes.All you need to do, is make your first run with a very light front furrow, and a larger rear one. Turn around, place the tractor wheel on the light front and plough a heavier front against the rear of the first run, covering the light first front, matching the furrows as required.
SOP rules post date the Ransomes ploughing book. As for three furrow starts, the only ones I have seen done have, in effect been the same as a two furrow without the chip. What you do to the bit at the bottom of the split does not seem to matter, no chip and you roll it or if you chip it you still roll the chip to a greater or lesser degree. It really wants clarifying but I won`t expect guidance from the SOP. In any case, with no opening to judge, the judges/ stewards will still be at the burger van so I guess nobody cares.No, its one method shown in Ransomes "Good Ploughing" and in any case, the plough is in the ground.Added to that, its the same as a tree furrow start in stubble, except its not in a trench(opening )
Regarding your point about the plough being in the ground, a few years back at the Europeans some competitors were penalised for distorting the furrow wall with the outside of the RH tyre when doing the chip. This was also referred to as rolling.No, its one method shown in Ransomes "Good Ploughing" and in any case, the plough is in the ground.Added to that, its the same as a tree furrow start in stubble, except its not in a trench(opening )
