I'm Going to try to answer some of the comments on the plowing match pictures, the PVC pipe is what the gentleman is using to carry sighting poles used at the start of the match. The weights on the plows are a necessary evil for the varying conditions we encounter, these matches usually take place in August, in stubble fields, often planted wet or harvested wet and compacted to rock like consistency in places. The old plows will come right up out of the ground in places like this, especially if the plow is a little worn( most all of them are). Most plowing matches try to be on decent ground, so all competitors have a reasonably fair shot, there have been matches on hilly ground too, just no pictures in this bunch. Soil conditions are whatever the plots have to offer, anything from sand, to nice loam, to clay, to rocks, (sometimes in the same plot) are encounterd. The ridges in the plowing are the odd thing about plowing matches, the theory is you would plow to leave the ridges, then you would broadcast your seed and then do a light tillage pass and your seeding is done, (seems plausible, but I've never tried it) Mostly plowing matches are a way to get together with friends and put our old iron to work, and show we have some skill at manipulating our machines and the soil, too some written standards.Mike
