Great video. Very nice ground to plow. Would be hard to judge and mark points. Sure liked the funny sign on the, I believe a Fordson tractor, with RAF on the right rear fender. Thanks very much. Great entertainment and learning. If I could only plough that good.
Thanks for posting these videos. I’m currently restoring a David Brown 880 tractor and have a David Brown match plough and am intending on getting into match ploughing one day (all the gear and no idea). Can someone explain why the 880 here (at 4:00) has the right hand wheel set in compared to the left? I think this would give a track width of 54”. Is it related to the plough width or something to do with the design of the tractor? I’ve seen the same thing on another 880 too.
thanks for your positive comment. The right side wheels have to be correct for the plough but the left wheels can be where you like. Getting the wheels in the right place as you approach the finish is the most likely reason for the offset but it could also be argued that rolling the ground in the right place is important on some soils. Maybe the driver will tell us?
Very enjoyable , good coverage of important sections,thank you for taking the video. "John North Wales "
Thanks for the comment. I was a little short on the finishes because I got distracted showing a gentleman how to finish properly.
