Ploughing Match {Horse Drawn Plough - Ancient & Modern Tractor Ploughs - Vintage Engines Vehicles} HD
What happens at a Ploughing Match? I spent the day learning how horse drawn ploughs operate and about the many Ancient & Modern Tractor Ploughs. There were also vintage engines and vintage vehicles at the match. Sheep show too. There were some seventy tractors of all shapes and sizes at the ploughing match. Vintage tractors to the very modern. Each had a small are of the field to plough. Judges awarded marks starting for the initial furrow to the final cut. There were three horse ploughing teams in operation along with market garden tractor ploughing combinations. Ploughing matches are held throughout the country, with the majority being held during September, October and November although many are now held in the spring. There is even a Societ of Ploughmen which works to cordinate everything from matches, judging, ploughing skills seminars for more details go to https://www.ploughmen.co.uk/academy
