Oh dear, another Luddite trying to convince us to use field ploughs in competition! First of all, all the mods done to a competition plough do very little to improve the ploughing, they do ,however take a lot of the effort out of the job, and speed up adjustments.You plough at National level and you don't use one!
You came placed several times at the nationals with non-genuine boards!
No fancy moveable headstock or anything fancy on your plough!
Just a simple plough!
You really can plough!
I wish all the top ploughmen were like you that would stop people playing about with original ploughs and making fancy shares.
How long have you been ploughing for?
The fact is, like it or not, match ploughing is a COMPETITION, and like all competitions will result in highly tuned equipment, some tuning is almost essential, how, for example are you to keep a plot both to size, and uniform, if you cant take a single furrow, which on a standard plough you cant? No need in a field, uniformity doesn`t matter, and driving over the next land(plot) would not get you disqualified(Which in a COMPETITION, it could).
Why make a special share? Ransomes made a good selection.
Over the years, I have heard this discordant wail, "X" only wins because he has "Y" mods on his plough, emanating from the also rans who are convinced they are better than they are, or cant be bothered to do the same mods, or are of such a low standard said mods would be wasted!
Matches are COMPETITIONS, if you dont want to compete, and do all that is required to do so, rather than make up the numbers, please confine your outings to working events.
