Conditions relating to Implements. 
CONDITIONS EELATING TO IMPLEMENTS. 
General Conditions as regakds Ploughs. 
The specified weights of the ploughs in each class are to be taken when 
fitted with two wheels, and with the breast, share, and coulter, as used at 
work, but are not to include the skim-coulter or any other occasional extra 
jjarts, such as drag-weight and chain, although employed during the trial. 
The standard of excellence of work will be the same as that laid down by 
the Society for the Newcastle Meeting, viz. : — 
" That the plough should cut the sole of the furrow perfectly flat, 
leave the landside clear and true, lay the furrow slices with uni- 
formity, with perpendicular cut of the landside, leaving a roomy 
horse walk. That it should have an efficient skim-coulter, be 
light in draught, simple, strong and economical in construction." 
Ploughs will be tested by a dynamometer, and drawn by steam power 
-diiring such test. 
Each Plough must go at least one round drawn by steam, and with the 
dynamometer attached, but not registering, so that it may open its own work 
prior to having its draught tested. The draught will be registered on not 
less than four difierent furrows, and averaged to ensure accuracy. 
Each competitor may use a new or sharp share and coulter during the 
dynamometer trials, but these must be of the same shape and make as those 
which he has used during the rest of the trial. 
When tested on the dynamometer, each Plough shall have a share cutting 
the same width of ground, namely : — 
For a 9-inch furrow, not less than 7 2 inches wide ; and for a wide 12-inch 
furrow, not less than 10 inches, measuring across the wing. 
The length from the point of the share to the end of the breast will be 
measured along the centre of the breast.
