how to start ploughing

[@robertschuler6825]

Enjoyed the video, always nice to see folks fussing over furrows! Perfection aside I just hook up my 3 bottom and go, no adjustments. Where I screw up I fix with the disc. After 45 years of plowing it works for me.

[@gordbaker896]

YUP. 44 Massey 3 furrow 12" tow behind plow with hydraulic lift. Also very straight for a 12 year old!

[@Alanrayc1957]

I have never seen a field started like that, I will definitely want to try this, very educational!

[@franksmith7419]

so you know nothing also

[@Alanrayc1957]

@franksmith7419 I have spent thousands of hours on a farm doing everything imaginable on thousands of acres, and I have never created a backfurrow this way, no matter how much you know there's always something more that you can learn. Your insult is not constructive in learning Frank...

Last year, He won the never-ending ploughing competition, The Weeds Grew Faster Than He Can Plough Them In.

[@kennethbailey2616]

Great video! Nowadays we use a chisel plow on our wheat fields but on irrigated ground I still see some moldboard plows but they’re all tumble plows 8-10 bottom plows mostly. I’m a dryland guy, no irritated ground.

[@gordbaker896]

I hate irritated ground!

[@kelceygerman1400]

I like plowing with my 1950 Ford 8n, I set the depth and angles, then after that I rarely have to look behind me, just look forward and listen to the tractor pull. If it sounds like it's pulling a bit too hard I just raise up on the draw bar lever slightly, then put back to original setting once it starts to speed up. It travels quite a bit faster than that with it's 2 12'' plows on it.

[@mikehagan4320]

I've seen these competition video's for years but this is the first one that explains what exactly they are trying to achieve.

[@martinjeffery3590]

Right ,drive in feild ,drop plough to correct depth ,drive across feild , job done

[@jamesranger6283]

Ya the only thing I ever competed with when turning ground was mother nature. Get it done. It is competition I guess. But it is painful to watch sure enough.

[@s1914]

Could do with a follow up video! I’ve got the opening sorted in my head, but it’s the next bit I don’t really understand, where you go onto a neighbour’s plot. The finish I think I get, it’s the middle bit… ☺️

[@MrDaChicken]

Too bad you didn't have some nice sod for this video so it laid over a lot nicer. I match plowed in Southern Ontario, Canada for 17 years, in the 3 furrow class. using a 3x 14" Kvernelands mounted. 13" is better for that class, but we also used it as our main field plow. Best I ever scored was... 132 I think? Usually in the high 120's. Not bad for a hobby plowman. Nice to see a plowing video that isn't about 7 furrows of rollover plough leaving a result that looks like it was chisel plowed. :)

[@TF856]

This makes plowing sound really complicated. I've watched a few plowing Day videos and they make it look really easy.

[@mikeskidmore6754]

My Grandfather had a neighbor who used a sheep as a Landmark to go straight across the field .. I think the sheep was in the field next to the field he was plowing across the fence.. The problem is the sheep started walking across the field and the Farmer plowed at an agnle across his field .. He was out there plowing all night trying to cover what he had done before any neighbors saw it ..

[@edgarmackie9249]

That's funny, bet he used a fence post the next time.

[@mikeskidmore6754]

@Phil Hall No it really happened he was out there all night trying to straithen things out. Another neighbor used to like to go the Dance Halls drinking and staying out late.. He would put the tractor in the furrow and jump off sit under shade tree until tractor got to the end of the field .. then drive a puck up to end of field jump in tractor and turn it around.. He fell asleep the Tractor kept plowing until it ran into Indian Lake.. His name was Jack Clarke Vicksburg MI .. His Widow was still a Substatute Teacher at my High School in the late 1970's .. Her Son David Clark was a Kalamazoo City Police Offier .. he rand a Red Light responding to a Fire and T-Boned a Fire Truck ,,

[@trulysurprised-bk7cy]

I had JD M with a 2way single bottom plow, and would have had that whole section finished in the time I watched this.

[@semco72057]

That tractor is doing a good job to be so old, and the guy on it is doing a great job also breaking up that ground.

[@smc1942]

That dog is good at being in the way.

[@wilfriedzonderman3168]

That is also my greatest talent!!!😊

[@milespostlethwaite1154]

What model BMC tractor is that? How many hp?

[@Trucker1957]

I love old tractors.

[@culmalachie]

Hey man! B 4 u start, your TRACK WIDTH is F A R too W I D E. - how can u expect a tractor - little or large to pull straight and efficiently - get your line of draft / draught ( DRAFT it is ) set right THOUGHT that even the BMC Mini had elementary draft control - so why the wheel - and so fa out PLUS ALL That weights on the plow ( Plough ). A well set plow doesn't need additional weights, Pulls better and will do a better job all round. ( FYI kindly refer to Ferguson and maybe Ransomes guide books on setting up plows Interesting commentary + your time taken to show how it goes in real time - the adjustments etc . good vid.

[@42lookc]

Ahh, the Nuffield 4/25. What a sweet little tractor. d:-)

[@flyinghigh1097]

Well almost; only that is a BMC mini tractor, the forerunner of the Nuffield 4/25. The BMC Mini is 948cc, 2 inches shorter, 16 BHP, and doesn't have the cranked right side drag link.

[@stanleynowak9325]

Sorry, but I have been plowing all of my life. Speed is critical to throw the dirt. He is going too slow.

[@surikmehrabyan7119]

How many horsepower BMC 1965 tractor has?

[@mikeskidmore6754]

Hmmm trailer plows and 3 point hitch plows you can adjust the depth the first round..

[@garybrion1953]

What a nice bit of vidio,I do plough, and would like to say what a great job you done there.

[@paulwithers1088]

The track width is also correct at 52 inches. It looks wide because it is a little tractor.

How much do you charge per hr, £ 0.1/6 Did you say, £ 450.00 an Acer, = 387 hrs That's if he puts his foot down. I reckon that's reasonable, I've got 112 acres to do, so I will pay you with my Pension, is that all right, well, I am rather busy at the moment, so if you have < past > buy then, get your son to pay me. As far as I know, he still has 97 acres to do. and he has been there for 3 weeks.

[@3113-q5z]

Wow made this way more difficult than it is

[@dangerbhanda]

how do you keep the furrows straight?

[@wilfriedzonderman3168]

By the correct use of the round thing just in front of the driver!

[@chriss7930]

That's the hard bit especially when ploughing first run, I was always taught pick your spot ahead line your self up and not to look behind on the fish run. But need ya plough set right at the start

[@philipprint9510]

Enjoyed that.

[@paulwithers1088]

Bmc tractors do not have draft only a spoil just up and down. And with ground conditions as they are with hard tramlines you should weight the plough accordingly.

[@anoka114]

At this speed it would take the whole summer to plow a field.

Seems like a lot of messing around to plow some ground. No one I know wastes that much time turning under their fields.

[@42lookc]

This is a plowing competition. They are graded on the quality of the completed job. It's altogether different from just 'making it black'. Quality plowing is an art form and a science, and real plowmen are a dying breed.
