Ploughing '19

Eamonn has 2 or 3 valmet 900/A's/4400 mf's and a few, at least 3 competion ploughs in the family. It wouldn't be unusual for 3 generations to be ploughing.

3 generations often compete alongside one another in Wexico anyway. You forgot the 6610 :laugh:

I assume the gear won't be back in time for the Ploughing in Carlow in any case.
 
My neighbour had some of it rented a number of years ago. He sowed beans the first year and got a huge yield. Came a middling back end and spring, not disastrous, but he had to mess in spring barley the 15th May. It was the deadline for area aid so had to be done. He had beet in it once or twice and it was hardship getting it out.
 
I hate Ford 6600's and 6610's so probably have chosen to ignore the downgrade.

He got the 6600 with Ford safety cab when Eamonn got the first Valtra, the green 900 around 1997 ish....I think the 5000 was traded in with KOB at the time and I saw other in the past few years somewhere.

John has the 6610 close on ten years now I think and still handling the dual wheel too :sweat:

The soil around Kilbricken hse looks to be D2 . Poorly suitable for Tillage moderately to poorly suitable for pasture and meadow.

It must be coming up for sale if the neighbours are talking it down :lol:

Apparently a Rolls Royce was spotted outside the BOI in Carlow. The teller behind the counter had to wear a dust mask as the dust off the old Punts & 50 pound notes was upsetting her asthma.

Well done to Eamonn and John, second place for both in the World Ploughing.
 
Bit late I know lads but just wondering if anyone knows of accommodation available on the Tuesday night anywhere near the site??
 
Just thinking anything Anna Mae lost last year due to weather she will more than make up this year, looks to be great weather right through to next Saturday, plough on..
 
If you are stuck for a place to lay your head you are welcome to stay here, but it is not a B&B.
Fair play to you,and thanks for the offer.
I am bringing the missus and 2 lads though so that might be a bit much for the couch to bear

I have an empty house next door, been a couple of months since it was used, in general clean but not up to modern standards. I can send you a few pics if you are interested.
