    Hey guys, I hope you enjoy today’s video! I definitely want to create more areas like this on the farm. Also, this was my first attempt at conventional ploughing, I definitely need a bit of practice 😂 I might do a bit this autumn to get a bit more used to it! Happy weekend!

    Maybe see if George Saunders could give you some tips he seems to know how to use an old ford and a dowdeswell plough pretty well. Not far away either in Bedfordshire might be a good collaboration video idea.

    You want to get out and see if the plough is level with the ground first and then stand at the back of the plough and see if the plough is at right angles to the ground there the basic checks, theres depth stops on the land wheel aswell you want to check there set right so the rear of the plough can go deep enough

    When I was a youngster age 9 to 11, my dad was in the US Air Force stationed at RAF Woodbridge and we lived in government leased housing in Melton. There was an ice cream truck from Tony Bell that used to come through the neighborhood several times a week. I used to like to get the nutty waffle cones and the red, white and blue rocket icy.

    More noob questions, how easily do the shear bolts fail, and what is the main cause? Also, are you able to turn at all with a conventional plough (to get around telegraph poles, curved field edges, etc.) or must you go entirely straight?

    • @vinylrevolutions9718
      @vinylrevolutions9718 3 роки тому +1

      I don’t know much about farming, but I do know that it’s hard to plough a dead straight furrow, especially a long one. Farmers have ploughing competitions to show off their skills. It takes years of practice... or GPS!

    • @NicksFarm
      @NicksFarm  3 роки тому +1

      As for shear bolts, they’re designed to shear and is usually caused by hard ground or incorrect setting up of the implement. We do a fair bit of chisel ploughing, and I’m forever changing shear bolts on our headlands where there is more compaction 👍

    • @georgedoorley5628
