I'd forgotten these!
This sequence of photos was done in the early '80's as a result of a college tutor saying I couldn't plough. I finished up teaching my own group of students for the season!

nice job there......straight as well....is it me eyesight or did the last furrow go a bit wide? :shifty:


Paul, you can't fill the last furrow but the penultimate run is half ploughing depth, then the final run takes the rest of that furrow out plus an inch from the same furrow. I think 7" is the norm if you usually plough at 6".

I don't think that in all the years I did match ploughing there was ever a finishing furrow of mine that you couldn't bury a cable in!
