Hi, ive embarked on my first bit of ploughing, no guidance, so its all a bit haphazard, woul d appreciate a few answers...
The plough is an old semi auto roind beam 3 sod kv, new points fitted, its pulling straight behind, ive left some slack on the stabilisers. Plough is 90 degrees to the land when its in work , tyre presure ok. Back sod was forever hopping /slipping out of work so toplink lengthed too far to compensate, but it works. Was running plough in depth d setting of tractor but it rose to 2inch deep in gravelly bits of field...same craic when in mixed setting. Finally put it in p position setting, seems better..stays at the chosen depth...should it not be in depht seting fir ploughing tho?
And why is back sod slipping out of work?
Ground is a bit stony not bad, odd gravelly bit
Cheers
