Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Flintham Ploughing Match, Newton A plough is made of many parts. In front of the plough body may be a coulter, this is either a sharp disc or a knife set to make a vertical cut in line with the flat side of the plough. Coulters are not needed in light arable land that was last ploughed a year ago, they are vital when turning over a tough grass sward.
To help bury turf a skimmer may be fitted just behind the coulter. This is a mini-mouldboard that trims a shallow slice off the top and tucks it in so that not even the edge of the turf will be visible at the surface after the plough has passed. The plough point makes a horizontal cut at a preset depth and a slice of soil is lifted onto the mouldboard which turns it over. Everything must be in line, sharp and firmly mounted or the tractor will have extra work to do. |
