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!
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 !
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 👏👏👏👏
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.
The problem with the D7 was his plows were NOT set right, needed more dig. The NH was pulling more bottoms deeper, it could be done but has to be set better !!
And that's what happenes after 3 -4 or 5 years of no teal. And no the tractors don't like it neither. 😂 And neither does the plows cause you can wear points out fast like that.
The Fordsons , lovely tools . Another marvellous turn out . 👍☕
Many thanks
That old major is impressive its going like a Swiss watch.
It certainly was

More on the Versatile NH in next weeks video. Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for your video. Our harvest is complete.
No problem.
That machine was impressive on hard soil, I bet it cut like butter on the damper part... thanks Casterton, another good vid...
Thanks 👍
Another great video thank you. That looks like a really good event.
Thanks. It was a good event and I enjoyed it but it was too hard for math ploughing!
Thank you for your excellent video really enjoyed it.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks.

Great stuff and thank you ..sitting at home whilst you do the hard job of filming this amazing agricultural plethora of men and machine
Good day from Ontario Canada Boy yrs ago wehad super W-6 & could not pull it with a three furrow trail plow
3 pt had a big advantage
Ths for showing
Thanks 👍
I had a TW 35 in Iowa. Was a very nice tractor.
Excellent.
Nice to see me doing a bit in Meg the TW35.
👍
Good to the fordson majors going great guns ? Great video again .
Thanks.

Nice looking super major, and going well , think top link needed lengthening would of made it a little easier going

19:57 A beautiful Roadless 6/4 with raised PTO and full weights. Some piece of kit if you had one in the mid sixties.
👍
The rain it fall, but the dirt it tough.
👍👍
Used a pressure control hitch on an MF 188 with a class jag 60 pulling a 6 ton Wheatley trailer on hilly fields. It wasn't brilliant but it helped.
That's interesting to hear. Thanks for sharing.
What's that, does it release itself for safety or something.
@@martymartin2894 It applies pressure to the linkage which transfers implement weight on to the tractor
The problem with the D7 was his plows were NOT set right, needed more dig. The NH was pulling more bottoms deeper, it could be done but has to be set better !!
It was going better where the ground was less like concrete.
❤❤❤❤
👍
You should have taken a couple of buckets of water with you 😆🫣. Nice to see such a variety from the very big to the little ransomes crawler
Great idea 😊
Great video. Nice variety of machines. Interesting hydraulics on the big Ford plow. Looked very dry. 👋👋
@@noelstractors-firewood57 Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks.
The plow behind the CAT was set too shallow.
terencenelson Yeah plows not set to bite enough, the NH with more bottoms did a much better job !!!
the ford 7000 4wd come from my dealer ets finet nord of france !
Thanks
When were you filming that very . Wet .here now
August 25th.
What tractor is he driving himself, looks a bit like an old international b from the bonnet that i could see.
IH B275
@@Casterton-Vintage ah I knew it my uncle has one and I have an international 784 myself.
Quelle horreur ! il faut prendre les bons réglages !

Roadless keep feet warm
Cab on about sixty poneys
Under the hood 😂

Caterpillar doing a bad job take it off the farm and give it a rest in a museum
I went better on less compacted ground later in the video.
