[QUOTE="Ley253, post: 5692386, member: 4681"] All the "cutting out" is done by the front on that run, anything other than clean soil in the rear is a fault. As said, the only reason for that rippling to exist is the requirement for some support for the plough on that run.The less in the bottom, the lower and therefore better the start will be.Neither the depth, or furrow sizes are specified, indeed the rule book goes as far as to state that "The opening may be deep or shallow, and there is no requirement for the furrows to be the same." This was stated by KC at the first judges seminar, held at Boston park farm,His actual words were" The furrows dont have to be the same, but you will get more points if they are!" Sadly, the Judges briefing from Denmarks world match seems to have been removed, so I cant suggest you take a look. Furrows are "trimmed" with the fins to help keep the start down, whilst keeping sufficient soil in the front furrows to prevent regrowth. Thus improving the work, so should not be penalised. Regarding my being alone, this is my argument. Match ploughing is the top strata of the primary cultivation. Therefore, it should embody all aspects, and efficient use of energy is one, an example is the movement to broken furrows from whole work. Moving soil for no purpose is inefficient, so making the steadying furrow larger than required to carry out its task(supporting the plough) should be considered a fault. Thats a technical look at the job, no "artistic impression"! [/QUOTE]
