Whatever about matching furrows Phil at least you covered all the thrash, leave tidy furrows for ploughing matches! Is the sprayer a rough ride? Looked like she gave a fierce jolt at the headland.

Nice one Phil & Father Phil, its all fun and games!

[@williamhealy6987]

A dinner of childhood treats & local brands for Father Phil. Club orange and goldgrain biscuits bought in the local shop. He fair put Phil in his place putting the Kitkat to one side. All was missing was a Tayto crisp sandwich in Pat the Bakers bread or corned beef sandwiches. Scary to think that Aldi or Lidl imported equivalents are under half the price.

[@kieranosullivan02]

Thing is there's another price to pay for those things so cheap and we won't know what that is until it's too late

[@williamhealy6987]

There is only one problem now. Jacobs biscuits are no longer made in Ireland, the Tallagh bakery was closed in 2008. Club orange is made in Dublin by Britvic. Tayto crisps are made in Asbourne by a company headquartered in Gemany. As for the Kitkat, Rountree Macintosh closed the Kilmainham factory in 1986. Irish corned beef is now only produced in a 6lb tin for deli counters. Cadburys chocolate is no longer produced in Coolock. If it was not the case that local businesses are supported by buying local you would buy in Lidl or Aldi.The same factories produce the Lidl or Aldi own brands that are producing our favourite Irish brands.

[@martymartin2894]

​@@williamhealy6987isnt it Hanley corned beef now it's nice stuff, but I remember the Shannon corned beef and the stewed steak yrs ago the stewed steak was lovely. And Spicer's batch bread with a lovely black crust on it.

[@christymarlow9539]

Great video Phil as usual look forward to all your videos I only wished our ground would turn over like that lol

[@madeljacky]

Another cracking video showing that it doesnt always go to plan ! Never seen a turnover bracket split across the bolt holes before, seen plenty with the pin end broke off them. Your ploughing isnt that bad, i assume before you started you checked the two rear tyre pressures matched, the lift arms were the exact same height and the check chains were slacked off before the plough was hooked on, getting the back furrow right is a combination of top link length and the big nut on the turnover ram stop, if the plough turns too much the back furrow lifts out and the front furrow is in to its bollocks, also a hydraulic cross shaft will sort the front furrow width. Another thing is your balls could be worn on the plough legs which let them move sideways or up and down once you start pulling through the soil, nobody can do good ploughing if the plough legs are moving, one can be ploughing 14 inch, the next one 16 inch and the next one 12 inch, it will be some mess. Leaf springs should be 700mm from center to center of the pins, that can make uneven furrows as well if they are not all the same tension. I plough stubble ground every year with the exact same Model E plough, 160 head stock, number 8's, a full set of discs and grass skimmers pulled with a 6270 running on 18.4's x 38's, when its done right you cant tell if its ploughed with a four furrow a five furrow or a six furrow plough.

[@diggerdave.6587]

you are right Jacky. Its not often just one reason why a plough is acting up. Wear on moving parts is most likely the cause if all the initial adjustments are all ok

Hi Phil plowing looks to be the job for the heavy clay also that mid west electrical is some tool shop have everything you can ever want

[@petessite]

talk about changeing points phil, when we used to plough (chalky boulder clay in essex ) a set of points new would only do a day an a half and would have to be changed round , the steel we used to go through was incredible , tons of it , prob 30 to 40 sets of plough points every year & we didnt turn over that much , good videos phil , good luck

[@dougtheviking6503]

Do many fellas chisel plow in Ireland?? Or is it not suitable ? Thanks for video Phil !

[@oliver69cork46]

Heard red clover mentioned, think it was discussed between 2 years maybe and how things have changed. Used to do red clover 10-15 years ago. Excellent but needs care,don't graze and choose 3,4 year variety in pure stand or mix with cocksfoot or Italian ryegrass. Preferably broadcast as opposed to drilling, less seed used and cover lightly and no problem after.

[@thomasmcmahon9618]

Well Phil , tasty bit of ploughing . I think I know what the problem is with your plough . The front body the spring seems to need adjustment it is too loose , the body seems to be rising . Did you check that the arms are level 👍🏻

Neat sprayer

[@clifforddark]

Hi , I can gather that you’re not too keen on ploughing. Now, some forty years ago when I was agri contracting in North Devon, I really loved being out ploughing with my Ford 8200 and KV rev plough, four furrows set at 16” Could normally average around two and half acres an hour. In a normal year I would be doing around 500 - 600 hundred acres per year, the Devon soil is very similar to yours. A T B to you all Clifford

It looks like your front furrow is too big when your ploughing right hand. Either check your stabilizer on the right as you stand behind the tractor it could be preventing the plough from moving to the right more. Also is your top link running in a straight line?

Your wheel spacing might be a issue. Your top link looks to be pulling off abit. Also looks alot of pressure on the springs too

[@briangill6730]

Ploughing deeper one side.are all the knuckles even?that's why your springs are wrong??

[@eoinmaher3966]

It's the four balls that the plough body is set agenst with the spring pressure. The balls may ware and if one falls out and you put a new one back in, it will distort the other three resulting in the furrows not matching up, had the same problem only way to sort it is replace the 4 balls on the body's of which furrows aren't ploughing evin with new balls

@@FARMERPHIL3690 With the cost of growing crops now it might be an option to explore.. the cost of diesel, sprays, seeds are gone very high. It would take longer to finish of grass/silage but high quality silage may be a cost effective option, I don’t know, just thinking

[@richardradawetz8788]

Weird that y’all drive with the rear window open. I have never opened mine in 20 years. Canadian though

[@benallen647]

Ur springs on the plough don’t look like there set right they are bent out in the middle to much which means the leg of the plough has less tention to keep it in the ground it wants to be less say flatter to apply more tention to the leg it should be 70 inches from pin to pin on the spring but also check that there’s no leafs broke in the spring cause that’s can cause it to be weaker aswell
