There is nothing wrong with a one-way! They still have there place on the farm. Also certain areas of this country is not suited for 100% no till. Especially in areas that don’t see rain for month at a time and with out moisture to activate most of the chemicals it’s a big waste of money also.
Parabéns belo vídeo, música prá meus ouvidos, lembranças de quando arava com um arado 5 discos 28" e meu 820 Brasil 🇧🇷. Agora quero por na ativa novamente. Fazer motor ainda estender desde 1957 ,sempre na família.
I had one Oklahoma farmer came to South Dakota. Helped him often farming and he would plow the fields like that round and round first time the go to middle and go around backwards the second trip never seen anyone do that but didn't have a furrow in the middle after three trips if summer fallowing
Those 2 cyl's definetley sound much better than the 1086!!! I love hearing more that one running off synch just a little. The 730 had little traction slippage but the 80 didn't.
I loved seeing these one ways at work! Lots of fond memories and many days pulling two. Quarter after quarter. You could get a gang of two down the road so that was the usual configuration. But one guy I worked for had 4 sections of land all together in a bunch. He would plow them with with a gang permanently tied of 4 or 5 15 footers. Pulled it with 1940’s model D6 Cat. That rig would just do those sections. That was one hot and dirty booger! The dust just boiled off those tracks. A moistened kerchief needed to be worn over your nose and mouth. You didn’t drive it so much as herd it around the field. I think he used that set up through the late 80’s. Nothing smelled better than a freshly plowed field when you were done onewaying.
Why all the erosion-inducing, soil drying tillage? Why not just plant or seed right in the stubble from last season and reduce erosion, save moisture, save fuel, save on tillage equipment, tractor hours, man hours and at the same time, increase the health of soil with more residue on the surface and in the growing layer? Tillage is so 1950s.
Look at the dust, why wonder no till farming was brought about, however the new greenie wants us to go back that way and not use any artificial fertiliser to grow the crops to feed the people, Hey ?
Theres still a few die hard one way ploughers here in Aus. We use a Chamberlain plough, a 24 disc job that can be opened up to around 18 feet and a 14 disc that takes about a nine foot cut. If set properly they take very little power to pull, but get it a little wrong and it makes a huge difference . They have a lot of different settings that all change when you open them up wider or narrow them for different soils or conditions. Back in the 70s it wasnt uncommon for triple 24s or twin 28 disc one way ploughs to be pulled around. Nowadays they are almost frowned apon.🤷🏻♂️. Iv never seen five of those beasts pulled around though, awesome video mate.👍🏻👍🏻
I spent my summers summer fallowing what we called a Wheatland plow. One way disc. No hydraulics. Big long handles that I couldn’t adjust. Once it was down that’s where it stayed. I think ours was ten feet wide. I would go around and around in circles all day long all summer long.
Great video! Must not have very many stones! In our area, back in the day we used 1200 Jd diskers , I am in the hunt for a Jd model 2200 disker. If you know of one please forward. Thanks.
With the price of fuel, rising input costs and no til planting/drilling tech why in the heck do you disk arid land , dry it out even more and expose it to wind erosion?
The dust was flying, yes, but there was far too much stubble for no till. Our wheat drill wouldn’t work in that much stubble. At that point, there was good moisture in the subsoil.
If you're pulling just one, it's no problem on dirt roads. For the double hitch or more, the front one stays as it and the others move easily into road position and trail along in single file.
Hi Sally, Thanks for another great video of old tractors and ploughs just doing what they were built for. I do like the action of a one way plough. You all look like you are really enjoying the day and the work. Cheers Dave.
I'd love to buy a couple of these , I'm in Ohio and always thought these looked like a good implement for certain purposes, we have a farm around Russel Kansas , I've got to try and get a couple of these located to bring home and play with.
The oneway we used on the farm back in the 50's had a frame of heavy angle iron probably at least 6"x6" and maybe 3/4" thickness. It also had a large lever on each of the three wheels for adjusting depth. The wheels consisted of a heavy 3-spoke casting with the rim and tire attached with clamps. We called it the "kralice" but I don't now what make it was. Wondering if anyone could help me with some information.
Just beautiful watching and listening to those big 2 cylinders working. Very interesting seeing the one way disk plows working, never saw one of those at work before, having grown up in moldboard plow country. Very cool to see the whole family taking part. Thanks for sharing your plow day with the rest of us.
Those old two cylinders were one of the best tractors ever built. Before that it was the old Rumley oil pull along with Hart Par and a few others life the odd oil pull engines. I grew up on an old "D" that used to be my grandfather's a " H" & a "A" my father bought in pieces that we put together. The " A " came with bad piston & cylinder. I talked him into buying a cylinder bored 90 over with high compression pistons. That thing was never short on power.
