PHOTO - Irish plough

Hi Gang;
This is a Star plough manufactured in Ireland using Ransomes bodies. Unique feature on Star ploughs is the ability to rapidly change the furow widths by screwing the legs across the frame with the hand wheels. Easier & faster than other makes where the legs had to be unbolted and repositioned in the frame or by adding spacer blocks.

I've been reading quite a bit lately about ploughing matches and the equipment used for such. I'd love to get involved with the "sport" but it's not too common in these parts of the US. I just completed a book called "The Tractor Ploughing Manual" edited by Brian Bell and approved by the Society of Ploughmen. Very interesting read. I'm most intrigued by the reversable plow class. It looks a bit tougher than the regular class's. I'm also trying to find more information about Simon Witty. From what I read, he's the current "Superstar" of match ploughing. Finally, I'm trying to find out more on HIGH CUT ploughing. Anything you can add will be greatly appreciated.

By the way, I'm absolutely enthralled with the pictures and text you post for us. Keep it up please.

Thanks,
Bill
