The dig: Crops plough fascination

[headcase]

You might need a better harvest than the past year to finance it.

Lets plough a seedbed to show how crap our plough is🤦‍♂️
Why o why dont they ever show a plough actually doing what its supposed to do and bury trash,ffs diesel burning exercise to show off

I still don't get the seedbed prep before ploughing, but a fine setup.

They are afraid the plough won't enter the ground.

This would be more my scale.

That is an odd plough, spring loaded furrows with the springs removed, I never realised that the subsoiler legs were fitted in that position.

It looks like they just put bolts in where the ball type knuckles would normally be?

I wonder what the reason for that is. Perhaps they wanted to put on the subsoiler legs but that was causing the spring loaded furrows to lift too much when in work?

They just used a blanking plate at the end of the connecting rod, where the springs usually connect, I have never seen one like it before.
I was thinking the exact same as you on the reason, even with a 3 sod in good conditions he has fairly high wheel spin, I would say the 3 subsoilers add a lot of pull and the springs wouldn't be able for it.

Must be ploughing fair wide furrows, only 3 furrow and covering almost the full width of the tractor 🤯

20" I'd say

Your going to need a bigger field @Crops !

They seem to waste alot of time turning at the headlands.

Serious gear, that person has a few videos of that outfit on YouTube. In fairness it’s a fairly intensive operation for big scale, normally that scale would be min till and fast trailed drills, whereas they are plough/press, power harrow, fertiliser down the spout (looked dark like Phosphorus), jcb for picking stones. The ground had already been tilled too (probably rape stubble for slug control).

There is some huge scale in former east Germany.

You’d think that if they have a lot of ground to cover that they’d be better off splitting it into two outfits: one plough and one drill so they wouldn’t be in each other’s way.

I can’t make sense of this. It can’t be good for the land.

Hhhhhmmmmmmmmm!!!! The furrows will be like pre cast slabs when they dry and a fine pan underneath. I wonder how many years will be needed to the repair the damage.

nice to see someone actually ploughing something 👍 👍 rather than driving through a seedbed

Fully expected that to be a video of a new lemken with press on its first day out in Carlow before it loaded 😂😂

I would pay them whatever they want if I can have that field and those conditions.
