Amotherby Young Farmers held their annual ploughing match on March 22nd near Wath Quarry in North Yorkshire on land belonging to the Wilson family. Just over 70 participants took part in the match that comprised six classes.
Modern tractors involved included local contractor R E and A Dowson’s New Holland T7.245 and T6080 yoked to five and four furrow reversible Kverneland ploughs whilst Will Russell brought along his Valtra T Series and six furrow reversible Kverneland plough.
However, by far the best sounding modern tractor taking part was host farmer Andrew Wilson’s very tidy Massey Ferguson 7495 that was yoked to a five-furrow reversible Ovlac plough and piloted by Digby Blenkin.
