Learning to match plough

This video is from the third in a series of Classic and Vintage match plough training days.

After the success of the first two events the organisers have come up with new ideas and arranged for two demonstration plots to be ploughed in stages before the rest of the ploughmen had a go on their own plot.

I have tried to show and comment on some of the basic aspects in the hope of helping people that are trying to learn the art of match ploughing.

We would like to know if you found the video and the event useful. Please leave a comment below and don't forget to click the "thumbs up" button to give it a like.

On behalf of the ploughmen, I would like to thank the organisers of the training days for the valuable service they are providing for the art of match ploughing.

Without doubt the best instructional video I have found on here, learnt alot from it.... Your commentary is very helpful and I suggest that if you do another video like this maybe you could go into even more detail.... Thanks

[alwenajones]

A very good video, good detail, and one of the country`s best ploughman instructing, spot on.thank you for producing one of the best videos covering the most important points the start and the finish. (JJ)

Another great video thanks. I learned a lot from this. This must have been a fantastic event to go to and learn from the experts

[paulflynn]

I think that was one of the best videos you have made . It was great thank you.

Great vid, that's me in the yellow snap on coat 😂👍🏻 was a great day. Definitely worth while as we come up from Kent to see how the northern lads do it 👌🏻

[gerrymclaughlin]

Really good informative video 👌 thanks for putting the effort in it’s the best thing on YouTube I’ve watched for a long time.

[RalfT.Branson]

Thank you for the video. Although I had to utilise all my English skills to comprehend it, I appreciate the effort. The subject matter appears to be quite intricate, with varying ground and weather conditions. However, the riders seem to have an in-depth knowledge of their machines, down to the last screw. They plow more effectively than what is shown in the video. Greetings from Germany

Lots of good ploughing and weather looked good just right for ploughing ! Another great video great work by you !

Cracking vid, as a complete novice the only extra I would like is a bit of commentary on why the ploughmen make seemingly constant adjustments to the ploughs from one end to the other, compared to setting the plough at the start of the furrow and then just driving to the other side. Cheers!

Excellent instructive video there 👌 alot of worthwhile information to be gathered, could do with something like that up here 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 in each ploughing society area as they are often too far away 😕👍

Great video thanks for putting the time and effort into posting this, sadly the training days are a bit too far away from me but it’s been good to see how it should be done and hopefully some things I can try to work on for the next matches in autumn 👍🏼

I've always felt i should go match ploughing but finding the time is another thing, but i do use all my old tractor's ploughing at home so i sort of get my fix and I'm happy at that. Good video, making my own videos does soke up a lot of time though ❤

[davesanderson]

Another good one. Take me back to my dad teaching me. First with a trailed plough with the old Fordson . Then a few years later me showing him with our first 3 point linkage 3 furrow plough 😊

I bought a compact tractor to keep my place clean and to vegetable garden with. With it, I got a single bottom moldboard plow. You want to talk about crooked furrows. Hopefully I’ll get better with time.

Thank you, great video. There is scope on YouTube for someone to do more ploughing instruction. 👍🏻

[mykeready]

Blimey. I never realised there was so much to it. Is there anywhere where you can have trial to see if it’s something you’d want to get into before you buy a tractor etc ?

[davevonmuenster]

I was 13 plowing headlands by finding a landmark at the other end. Never was more than a round off. WD45 Diesel 3-14" mounted. Never an observer.
