Mole plough was a good guess BUT it doesn't look heavy enough to do the job to me.  Just according to how light his soil is of course but if sandy then a mole plough ain't going to be any use it will all collapse in on itself.  Pity I'm so far away because I have a ready made A frame sat in my yard he could have for free.

Not been a very eventful day. Got up late after a bad night. Been lugging 16 and 25mm plate about and cutting it with 9 inch angle grinder. Why oh why did i ever part with my gas cutting gear. I did manage to drill a few holes. I will be glad when i start tacking up, at least whats in your head starts to appear. I am sure my arms are three inches longer, I told my grandson when i start putting it together i may need one of his diggers.:lol:.

Had a little play again today, it still doesnt resemble much but i tell you what its starting to get a tad heavy for these old bones. Walker570 it isnt going to be used for pan busting, just putting 25mm water pipes through his paddocks,

That looks seriously heavy When I read 16 and 25, my mind immediately jumped to 16 and 25 gauge. It only dawned on me when I looked at the thickness on the fourth photo.

You have my admiration drilling and cutting plate that thick.

Like i said it is getting a bit heavy for this ole boy, every gusset i put in seems to add another 10 kilos:lol:. Day off today, got to catch up on housework, but on know where i would rather be.

how is the pipe going to feed ...have you made that yet 

Hoping to get tube rolled tomorrow Simon, just need to find a big piece of cardboard to draw template on. Bit of bracketry to bolt it on back of plough.Cross my fingers when young-un gives it the big-un.:lol:.  I am trying to source a 20mm shear bolt. If I put a shear bolt in the bottom fixing and things go pear shaped, the plough can pivot upward on the top bolt, giving the driver a bit of warning. thats the plan anyway. But as always there will be pics on the launch.
