Practise ploughing

[bassetts]

Hi,Guys as a novice looking to set up a practise set up on my field what are the dimension I should be abiding to.

 

[Pennine Ploughing]

60 to 75 m long, and 12 to 14m wide

 

[Mydexta]

I tend not to worry so
Much about width.

I normally plough my feering (crown) then just go 8-10 yards over and do the same again, then gather in the middle. In my opinion, the hardest parts are the opening, feering and finish so I'd rather spend time getting them correct than aimlessly going round and round.

On a practice day, I'd rather do 2-3 smaller plots than 1 bigger one.

I would say it depends if you have got your plough working well then go for narrow plots but if it's not set up to your satisfaction wider the better.

If you can, find someone knowledgeable to look over your work, it all to easy to be practising your mistakes.

Also, take a video.Its a great help as you can view the work time end time again, not just the once you get in the field!

@Howard150 @Roy Stokes Emma's complaining about the field how uneven and wet it is , well hammered carrot land but the old stone is cleaning up the plough. Going into some stubble next to get set up Told her she can plough all this corner about 5 acre . All she said was bring some more plough points

What plough or driver

 

[Roy Stokes]

What plough or driver

We all know that the driver is very photogenic after seeing the match photo's

for diggers it's going well Brian, one has to remember you are also ploughing at the same direction as the crop was planted so you will never quite match them perfectly

Moved to ploughing today

1. Need new points now the old Flint has wore them back . Got some more pics of the scrow we made in stubble

Thought the front furrow looked bruised in the ploughing pictures. You can see why on the front trashboard. Hard to say too much unless there are any pictures of the plough in work.
