Join us for a walk around the tractors at the Notts Tractor Working Weekend. The land was very hard and many of the ploughs struggled with it.

Excellent video! Some great ploughing considering the variables in the field. Great selection of tractors, l particularly enjoyed seeing the Fordson Major showing how it should be done!

That New Holland is like something from another planet! Another very enjoyable vid

Another superb video tonight.
That Versatile New Holland with the 10 furrow reversible plough definitely stole the show for being the biggest tractor on the day.
There were so many other interesting tractors working in the field including those rare Roadless Ploughmaster 6/4 which looked very tidy. The Ford 3000 shown at about the 6 minutes mark in the video looked like a petrol engined model by the dry air filter access panel cover on the left side of the bonnet.
It would be an expensive job running a petrol engined tractor at a ploughing match these days !

That machine was impressive on hard soil, I bet it cut like butter on the damper part... thanks Casterton, another good vid...

[philgardener]

Another great video thank you. That looks like a really good event.

[davevonmuenster]

Thanks for your video. Our harvest is complete.

[paulflynn]

Thank you for your excellent video really enjoyed it.

Good video thank you 👍 thats gotta be some of the toughest driest land ive seen being ploughed, we had a ploughing match last Sunday which even after a decent fall of rain 🌧️ was still bone dry underneath, then we had another yesterday and had had quite a lot of rain during the week but had helped a lot but furrows were still turning over in slabs 🙄🤬 think a well done to all involved in your working days was well earned 👏👏👏👏

Good day from Ontario Canada Boy yrs ago wehad super W-6 & could not pull it with a three furrow trail plow
3 pt had a big advantage
Ths for showing

Thank you for posting, The gentleman on the Fordson Major had just about sorted it, he just needed to lengthen the Top Link a little, he would achieve better penetration with less wheel spin

P.S We used the MF Press Control System on our New MF 1100 and a set of Ransomes Discs in Nottinghamshire supplies by Winsor & Stephenson, Newark, it worked okay, however not a magic bullet as they say.

Nice to see me doing a bit in Meg the TW35.

[johnd]

Good to the fordson majors going great guns ? Great video again .

[davevonmuenster]

I had a TW 35 in Iowa. Was a very nice tractor.

19:57 A beautiful Roadless 6/4 with raised PTO and full weights. Some piece of kit if you had one in the mid sixties.

My old Dad would not have been happy ploughing in those conditions, but we were used to ploughing London Clay with a pair of Super Majors, but after 4 years they were worn out!

[GaryBishop-pz]

Nice looking super major, and going well, think top link needed lengthening would of made it a little easier going

[tomthx]

The rain it fall, but the dirt it tough.

Used a pressure control hitch on an MF 188 with a class jag 60 pulling a 6 ton Wheatley trailer on hilly fields. It wasn't brilliant but it helped.
