Join us for a walk around the tractors at the Notts Tractor Working Weekend. The land was very hard and many of the ploughs struggled with it. Don't forget to like and subscribe Find us on Facebook at www.facebook.c...
Excellent video! Some great ploughing considering the variables in the field. Great selection of tractors, l particularly enjoyed seeing the Fordson Major showing how it should be done!
Good video thank you 👍 thats gotta be some of the toughest driest land ive seen being ploughed, we had a ploughing match last Sunday which even after a decent fall of rain 🌧️ was still bone dry underneath, then we had another yesterday and had had quite a lot of rain during the week but had helped a lot but furrows were still turning over in slabs 🙄🤬 think a well done to all involved in your working days was well earned 👏👏👏👏
Another superb video tonight. That Versatile New Holland with the 10 furrow reversible plough definitely stole the show for being the biggest tractor on the day. There were so many other interesting tractors working in the field including those rare Roadless Ploughmaster 6/4 which looked very tidy. The Ford 3000 shown at about the 6 minutes mark in the video looked like a petrol engined model by the dry air filter access panel cover on the left side of the bonnet. It would be an expensive job running a petrol engined tractor at a ploughing match these days !
Thank you for posting, The gentleman on the Fordson Major had just about sorted it, he just needed to lengthen the Top Link a little, he would achieve better penetration with less wheel spin P.S We used the MF Press Control System on our New MF 1100 and a set of Ransomes Discs in Nottinghamshire supplies by Winsor & Stephenson, Newark, it worked okay, however not a magic bullet as they say.
My old Dad would not have been happy ploughing in those conditions, but we were used to ploughing London Clay with a pair of Super Majors, but after 4 years they were worn out!
You will notice that most of the ploughs were running with a short top link and rolled on their back to keep the front furrow under control. It looked strange to my eye but it was the only way they would go in the ground.
