How to plough headland ins and outs to leave a tidy finish

[@buckshotaaa]

As an ex ploughing demonstrator in the 80's i watch many ploughing videos on you tube and a lot of them make me cringe with their lack of commitment or knowledge. It is a refreshing change to see someone who knows what they are doing and have a passion for ploughing. Your ploughing is a credit to you, it's plain to see you take pride in your work. Well done that man. 👍

[@GEOFFKV6080]

Thank you very much, your comment is very much appreciated

[@trevorcox3020]

Did a bit of ploughing about 50 yrs ago but not given proper instruction... this has started to answer the questions. Many thanks

[@andrewcollins6525]

Great video. I feel like i actually understand this now. Thanks

[@GEOFFKV6080]

Your welcome Andrew hope it helps

@Gary Alden i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@ethancain3008]

@Gary Alden It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thank you so much you saved my ass :D

Best job in the world! Good job man.

Subbed you buddy great video I could never plough straight but won some furrow drawing cups my father 72yrs old use to love watching him ploughing straight as a dye we have a family member HUGH BARR from Ireland 🇮🇪 world champion several times 👌

[@GEOFFKV6080]

Thank you. Great talent to have ploughing at that level especially to be world champion. I'd love to have ago ploughing at national level but don't have the time or transport to get to events with the plough.

[@Hassle68]

When you return to travel over your plough out I'd suggest slightly deeper to throw soil over the edge and merge with original. Otherwise when you top dress or spray you'll feel that line on every run. Everyone an internet armchair expect :) apart from that tidy work, be proud and keep it up.

[@GEOFFKV6080]

Hassle 68 thank you. That line is the depth wheel not sure if I can get front furrow to turn it that far. Will try what you suggested next time out.

[@Hassle68]

@@GEOFFKV6080 👍if lands light enough a bit deeper and bit faster should do it. Strong land the wheel wont mark. Good luck, it's a dying art with direct drill.... until black grass shows then your skills will be in demand.

[@pictlandpickers1171]

Can you help me plough😂

[@theulsterscots]

How do you plough out your corners?

[@keithsmith7278]

I enjoyed your video. Wish I had some nice dirt like that.

[@HerrHalmakenreuter]

Perfect ,thumps up Greetings from east frisia

[@stephenblackwood5255]

When you come back the other way to turn soil back in , I find if you drop the plough in deeper so it has no play on toplink it makes a better job , cool video

[@GEOFFKV6080]

Thanks Stephen. What advantages do you find doing that? I've always run too link slack in the slotted hole all the time. Find it runs better

[@stephenblackwood5255]

@@GEOFFKV6080 I only do it when iam coming back opposite way, filling in the open furrow , it stops the plough riding in and out of the ground so much

[@mrmjf5689]

How do you do it if you want to start against hedge and throw out leaving open furrow in land?

[@660einzylinder]

That's a nice tidy finish, good to see someone with a bit of pride in his job, and clearly doesn't have any qualms about people looking over the hedge at his work.

[@GEOFFKV6080]

thank you. these fields got reseeded so I wanted the ins and outs as level as possible. they'll be getting foraged for 5 years. I don't mind anyone looking as long as I know I've the best I can in the conditions at the time

[@Sten_Takens]

the first time is not on full dept?

[@maesy6730]

will the same technique work when ploughing up pasture land? i think you are ploughing arable land in this video ? Beautiful job though !!

[@GEOFFKV6080]

I find on grass land doesn't always work to well, I find the grass stops it from running through twice and tends to block the plough. Depends alot on the soil type as well. You just have to try it every field is different.

[@maesy6730]

yes, i can see the grass sod just rolling up in the plough .

[@NorthFenFarm]

I don't really understand the ploughing the first run both ways. Also surely by double ploughing you're uncovering trash and potential weeds that could grow?

[@GEOFFKV6080]

doing this leaves the headland run level with the middle work. There is no trash uncovered its all buried as you can see. i thought the same untill i give it ago years ago. Give it ago yourself

[@Ronis88]

@@GEOFFKV6080 do you change depth between runs?

[@GEOFFKV6080]

I’m looking forward to it.

Enjoyed that. Cheers.

[@donaldtriumph1682]

Never turn ground twice. Rule 1 of ploughing

[@davybennett3659]

very tidy work man, do you give lessons?

[@GEOFFKV6080]

Not really given lessons but have given the younger generation advice. My ways may not be text book commercial ploughing but work for me. I do match ploughing but thats a different game altogether. Iam not an expert only self taught over 20 years

[@genechronister7085]

Nice vid! Good job

[@farmingyear3972]

Hi nice video good

[@GEOFFKV6080]

thanks

[@chrisbunyan7856]

Done right, but please do not run over ploughed land in the corners

[@ast5504]

Why do you put those annoying hedges on the borders?

[@georgedoorley5628]

the hedges were put in over 1000 years ago to keep livestock in or out as the case may be ......and to mark property ownership ..........they will be there when we are all dead and gone ............!

[@briandubach3188]

Looks a little rocky, like the big one sitting on top. Hope you stopped to pick it up.....

[@georgedoorley5628]

thats not a rock ....! its only a stone .........only becomes a rock where i live when you need a loading shovel to pick it up ,......!

[@paul.maplelandscaping1004]

I plough like this but I leave a very shallow furrow on the inside and move over 3 furrows on my return , it turns up less stubble that way for me . Love your vids keep it up . Check out my ploughing vids if you get a minute, filmed most of them last season so scroll down .Cheers Paul.

[@GEOFFKV6080]

thanks Paul. Checked your channel out few months ago and seen your ploughing videos. You make a very tidy job. I learnt this technique many many years ago of an old boy in the village. Dont see many people do this and those who see me think iam mad lol

[@paul.maplelandscaping1004]

@@GEOFFKV6080 yes I've been questioned a time or 2 about it , l know what you mean.

[@Livoirienyvoitrien]

Cepta the crappy music, was very fine ag vid.

[@heatmoon]

Maybe just stop plowing. You ever heard of a plow pan? actually quite bad for your soil. Not to mention compared to a chisel plow or disk with a roller seed to soil contact is far better.

[@gregshearer423]

A typical American thinks everything should be done there way yet plenty of British farmers plough and get far better yields than use lot

[@duncangodfrey1448]

Greg Shearer Britain tried the American way decades ago, machines were heavy and expensive to run and maintain,tractors were bigger and heavier,and the yields went down. Quite funny listening to Americans speaking about what’s good or bad for soil when theirs blow away in the wind 😂 their soil erosion is far worse than ours 😂
