UKPoacher Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Went to one near Driffield a few years ago. There was a young woman there with a brace of horses and she hardly touched the plough handle. Others were sweating their wotsits off wrestling the ploughs, but she looked like she was just taking the horses for a walk, and cut a pretty straight furrow too.

Velocette Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Went to the World Championships near York the other week. 32 countries represented !! The steam ploughing was outstanding,,over 20 traction engines fired up and moving through the misty morning was quite unforgettable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he uses a Nuffield of some description and a Fordson Major. He doesn't work on a farm at all; he is an undertaker by trade! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant hit them all Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 no one told me about these ploughing matches would taking viagra be count as cheating. on a serious note i my mate has a ferguson match plough and a super major he can literally jump of the tractor while it's going and have a fag and walk beside it and the furrows are almost perfect but he only ploughs for the game cover strips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
