The starts and the finished of the Contest are visualized by two beacon systems. These systems are originally made by the National Ploughing Association of Ireland in 1996. These systems were modernized in 2006. The beacons were replaced by tube mounted Xenon beacons. Also was a winch mounted to ease the mounting on a tractor. The slide show shows that two persons can do this job (on the pictures Willemien Spieker-Looman and Hans Spieker). (Timeline beacon settings 2006)
