How many names are there for the runs up and down a field when the headland is encountered at an angle, so a triangle shaped piece is left? Scoots, Running work, Short work, etc I'm sure there are load more.
Same goes for headlands: end rigs, turn rows, outside breeds. In the US most seemed to call them the end rows, but that was mainly on corn/maize where they literally were rows

I used to work with some Lincolnshire lads who used a short,thick steel bar, pointed at one end and with the middle bit forged square for knocking stakes into the ground. They referred to it as a Gablick. Does anyone else recognise this?

We have an iron bar here that tapers out for 6 inches, then has a forged cup before tapering to the top. Was used for baring holes for iron hurdles before knocking them in to fold sheep on winter forage.

I'm from South Devon (but not the S Hams) and all the above is familiar.

Use a beetle to drive a post in after you've made a hole with a bar iron. Mend a gap in a hedge with a Devon Shovel (long handle, unlike a normal spade). Father used to make field gates out of shivers (sawn timbers) Farmer next door had a hay shed clad in zinc (c.g.i.) and used to "tetch out" freshly mown grass before he would "larr up" hay into rows for baling. Bales would be thrown onto the trailer using a "eevil" (pitch fork)

After ploughing in the Autumn father would "draw up the voard" (move soil to the top of the field) -but I doubt if anyone under 60 knows anything about that

Under 60 and know all about it. Used to be written into some old tenancies.

Thres no split or tuff in that poster.
Im still not sure when a split becomes a tuff or vice versa

 

[Ffermer Bach]

That could also be the thieves who take the sheep

I thought a Pike was a "pitch fork"

 

[puppet]

have you heard of a "sheugh" pronounced more like~ "shuck"

Scots too but not pronounced -ck but -ch as in loch.
As in "we all laughed when he cowped in the sheugh" or "my pants are up my sheugh" - I have an embarrassing wedgie
