Hi Cowman; I agree 100% with you. However ploughing matches in England have been very competive for many years, and Ransomes who were the largest plough manufacturers have constructed "match ploughs" for many years - they worked on the logic that the winning make of plough would sell them more ploughs. I personally dont agree with the tractors used having hydraulic rams to control the left & right lower lift arms & top link; and the width adjustment. BUT each match has several categories which cater for all types of plough, and types of bodies ie digger, general purpose & grassland. The most important thing is there is a novice class for beginers to enter. Also many experienced ploughmen are giving their time & expertise through the area tractor clubs for a "beginers ploughing day". They talk through & show the novices (some have never ploughed before) how to set up their ploughs & how to plough to the match rules. This gives novices a chance to learn the correct way. In fact many younger farmers who have only used reversible ploughs the chance to learn how to use conventional plough techniques. If you send me your address via e-mail I will try to get an English Ploughing Society book of rules sent over to you. my email is:- flatfender@arepo.com. Glad to help if I can. Cheers David
