Most the centres ploughed at this stage, been at it since 1st week of January in that good spell. If the lands not too heavy it'd be alright i reckon. Did the same last year and turned up a great seed bed after the power harrow only, where as other years ya'd need a shot of the paddles off the ring roller on some fields. Though so lads would tell ya your 'ploughin in tthe cold'. Stay away if grounds totaly frozen tthough, you're only doin damage/excess ware then imo realy
