I have been working on my grandpas old two disc turning plow, trying to get it ready to turn some dirt over this fall for a corn patch. Its an old plow, not sure the age of it or the last time it has been used. Its old and used but new to me.

I doubt you can find a better turning plow than what you have ! Good luck and enjoy the old iron !

I’m looking forward to using something that my grandpa and dad used to use.

Just Subscribed. We have one of those . There is supposed to be a couple of scrapers that keep the soil from building up on the disk.

@jathomestead Год назад

This disc had them also. They are no where to be found. We will see how it does without the scrapers, if needed I will try to track some down.

We had one too, but got better results with an equivalent mouldboard (even more old school). We had pretty heavy going though, old overgrown and heavy soil.

I know a lot of people prefer moldboard over a disc plow. My disc was free, so going to give it a try and see how it does. Thanks for watching

Tire is backwards. Bar type traction tires go that way when they're drive or pulling tires, the other way when they're driven or pulled. It'll keep mud from collecting on it. Sweet plow. You can make scrapers for it if need be. Ground gets a little moist in the fall, go to town. Best regards from Indiana.

Thanks Bill, I have been wondering if the tire treads was going the right direction. Easy fix, I will take care of that when I start plowing.

@farmerbill6855 Год назад

You're quite welcome. In case you ever wondered why they were backwards on an old ground drive manure spreader or the rear wheels on a two wheel drive combine, etc. Not trying to be a know it all. Just passing on knowledge. I'll be expecting a good long video when you put it to work.

I will take all the advise I can get, as long as it’s good and reliable. I’m looking for a disc harrow now, something cheap I can work on if needed, I have my grandpas two row cultivator also, that will need a little cleaned up also. Thanks for subscribing.

I didn't criticize anything genius, I merely stated fact. Indeed that is how lug type traction tires work. I was just sharing what I know. Knowledge is power, you should get some.

These are Disc ploughs mainly used in Australia. John Shearer brand in Australia had massive 30 plus discs. Mine I have a 5 disc Australian Napier. They really have not taken off in N.Z here as mould boards are preferred. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RU-bMGt5f-Q.htmlsi=CqJsqaAKyJZE78G0

I would have to say that mold boards are probably most farmers choice here in the United States also

@@jathomestead Nothing beats the beautiful flow of soil. I think in South America disc plowing is for deep soils.

@jathomestead 9 месяцев назад

@@conmanumber1 I’m going to put it to use in a couple of weeks. I’m going try to video it. First time plowing for me, so we shall see how I do.

@johnnyholland8765 Год назад

Those plows don't like hard ground. They will just roll across the top. I have seen people cut notches in the disc like a harrow disc. You probably don't want to do that being it was your grandfathers. Then again it might do fine. One way to find out...

@jathomestead Год назад

We are going to give it a try. Trying to get out cheap. If it don’t work out, I will try to find a cheap bottom plow somewhere. But my dad used it as a kid, plowed 20 acres for feed corn for their hog operation. So hopefully it will work out just fine.
