Nice work,
What plough are you using? Have you some pics of your set-up.
Do you plough using position or qualitrol (draft) hydraulic setting, ie lever up or down?

The plough is a Swedishbuilt one. The companys name is Overum(O with two dots) and the model is Sesam 1x20" Brage. Made in the midle 50. Its a special one for land that hasnt been ploughed for a couple of yers like the one im ploughing in the flick. Im using the positioncontrol and lett the ploughwheel controll the dept. I havnt test the qualitrol yet.

Many thanks. :wink:
Looks like its ploughing quite deep.
What does the big spring on the plough do?
BTW I think Overum bought Ransomes in 1989.
