Ploughing question for cockies

Lang you will be ploughing pretty good in few passes
Message me if you need help, I'm not a expert and never ploughed in matches as I only use disc ploughs as moulghboard ploughs aren't suited to Australian soils
Thats another topic though

Only to happy to help if I can

Once you the grain from the chaff so to speak of advice it isnt very hard
Open a paddock correctly
Tractor should pretty steer itself
Maintain a proper speed at all times for a level job
Close paddock correctly
Set the plough correctly before you start
If you gotta fight it you need to adjust the plough
If your running out of power adjust the tractor
If it rides rough adjust the tractor
If it pulls you into ploughed lamd lengthen the top link
If it pulls you to unploughed land shorten the top link

Great info. Looks a lot harder than learning to fly a plane! But then again you can teach a monkey to fly but not very well. I think we might be seeing a monkey on the tractor seat.

Set tool post height correctly for proper weight transfer
Sway chains are only used to control the plough when its out of ground and should be fairly loose


I'll thinl of more thongs if you go down this path

I have one of those drag grate things down the back here you can have if you want it. It's 5, or 6' square. I'm in Ipswich.

See if I can get a picture after work tomorrow.

Don't see the old FIAT going that good.

Speedy on the fast tractor had a mouldboard plough and is the plough you dont want to use as they leave winrows all the way along.

What the hell is a winrow? Obviously not a win in any row? :whistle: Or it could be, in the right row . . . not to be confused with the wrong row, or the left row, or the middle row or even the next row!? Was that the last row or the penultimate row?

Row, row, row your boat, etc, etc :blush:

The windrow is the highpoint, PDU. If you think about a grader leveling loose earth, the row of soil running off the side of the blade, sitting proud, is the windrow.
