Aussie here. Just refurbished on of these early Ferguson ploughs, that I purchased for $50. Have it hooked up to a 1946 Petrol TEA20 Ferguson, plan to resow my entire property. New to ploughing hence found the explanation of technique extremely useful.

This is the only video in YouTube that someone explains how to plough opening is done. I’m a new farmer. I didn’t get exactly what pattern should I follow on the field so I don’t mess things up and make ditches. Of course I’m talking for good old non reversible ploughing. Thanks

I moved from Ullapool 27 years ago, lovely area, my great grandmother was from Mellon Udrigal, she settled and raised a family in Durnamuck in Little Loch Broom, one of her daughters was a teacher in Scoraig school in the 30's

I love it! This is the perfect tool for doing swales and retain and infiltrate al rainwater that falls on the property to make it drought proof! The best thing would be to loosen the line first and then plough on swale into it. On contournof course, so the rainwater can sit flat in it and infiltrate slowly! I saw that on Heoff Lawtons canal and it is astonishing what he does to avoid droughts and to increase fertility.
