If the section you are doing includes some serious up and down, then you can do it as several downhill sub-sections and put joints in at the bottoms.
Or tow the tractor up the hill with a large digger.......
B4RNing is founded on invention
Approaching some farm buildings we knew it would get rocky eventually.
Clapham use the one that you can buy for about £1500 from Browns. Plough one kilometre and you've paid for it.
There's a cut a few inches to the right of the plough line. It looks like the cutting wheel wasn't lined up with the plough blade. A neat job anyway, it shows
That the cutting wheel wasn't necessary for a neat job.
And that the cutting wheel actually does a good job in being in contact with the ground and making a cut.
There's a lot here that is going to need further design. A lot more rigidity and a big lot of mass are needed for the plough. It appears to have potential to reel from about 8 drums - which would have to be attempted at some point, but only for fun.
You could just use it for transportation, if you have some general direction that say your core route is following, then you have moved all your stocks to where you need trhem.
Left This tube is very narrow and it pointing straight back. Duct will usually be laid out ahead of the plough, so some care will be needed to ensure there is a lot of slack in the duct around the machine. Otherwise as soon as the duct starts getting taut it will crush as it enters the tube. You may well not notice it has happened.
Right A similar thing has happened where this orange duct has left the protective outer. It has made it vulnerable to being kinked.
Grass has built up and they will have to stop to sort this out. In this case there was a shortage of volunteers. There was one person who had to guide the duct. And no spade in sight. A second volunteer with a spade can stop this accumulating by cutting down alongside the plough-blade before this starts to build up.
Once grass starts to accumulate it lifts the plough a bit, so any cutting wheel is doing nothing at all, so the grass then rapidly builds up. You can keep it in check fairly easily if you are vigilant.
You can also stop this build up by treading or standing alongside the plough-blade. So it is possible for one person to cope with both guiding the duct and stopping any clogging, if they know what they're doing.
Again a shortage of experienced volunteers. There is no-one at the back of the plough watching for problems. The machine has a built in curve at the back - its purpose is to guide the duct if you have a reel carrier on. You don't have to use it if the duct is laid out on the ground, you can feed it down in the usual way and stand at the back. So you can could cope with one person if you have to.
