Well done guys

i met shane for the first time on saturday, his ploughing stood out from the rest at the start. very nice bloke as were the other entrants. nice day
here are a few pictures that i took

Only my personal opinion here , Trustys left the competition standing when it came to the actual plough itself , I’m far from convinced that the Trusty was actually the best machine. If competition ploughing is your aim , then yes , a Trusty is the way to go , but it is nice to see some of the lesser known machines at work , even if you don’t score as many points.

just print off the ploughing guide from this forum get along to a few local matches chat with the other entrants and it all becomes easier to follow. some will do lots of practice before even thinking of entering, i personally had a bit of practice then took the plunge and entered a few local matches. scored 99 of 140 for my first go. most will be very happy to give you advice on how and what to do. the most important thing is to enjoy it, not worry how good or bad you are as it will all come with practice

Very many thanks for that offer Dave, with regard to machines to purchase I would think that spares supply may dictate choice of machine especially with regard to tyres. I have seen an Auto Culto Gardener complete with plough which might be good but I have heard that tyres for this one are all but impossible to obtain and I suspect that these may be a frequent replacement when using on fields etc
