Hi gang;
For you guys who are unfamiliar with this system of ploughing & pressing at the same time, this photo shows what happens (the tractor has reached the headland and has raised on 3 point - released the arm on side of plough off arm on press)
The plough will turn over hydaulically clockwide so the press arm will go over the top. Then when the tractor returns and lowers the plough the arm on the plough catches on the arm of the press.
There is a 3 point hitch on the press itself which is used on front 3 point to tansport the oufit from field to field.
The press is 2 rings (Flexicoil) spirals which beak down & compress the furrows.
For all you guys who know what it is - sorry to bore you.
98% of all ploughing here is done with reversible ploughs, up to 12 furrows on back in semi mounted form.
Cheers David

That soil sure looks mellow and it even looks like it had been plowed not to long ago. Sure wish we had soil like that in Mn. instead of our black gumbo, with our gumbo, you can be plowing along at 5 mph and the gumbo will coming off the moldboard at 4 mph. The turnover plows were somewhat popular in our area in the late 50's or early 60's, but the biggest I ever saw was a 4 bottom that was used by the Green Giant Co. behind an Oliver with front wheel drive.

Our packer (press) was connected to the roll-over plow with a chain. How hard is it to catch that arm on the way back?

David,
Allan in NE has one of those plows - he took a real ribbing over the thing (people accused him of trying to plow the top of a cave, etc!!), but I sure see the advantages.
