Most people that to comment on what you are doing wrong problem haven't ever set there but on a tractor, much less plowed or know how to set plows to the tractor. Worked on a farm since I was 14, 60 years old now. Keep turning and burning, your way not there's
I was just suggesting not telling you what to do but I have farmed all my life and ran most and everything possible and a very successful farmer I enjoyed watching videos and seeing what everyone doing around the world interesting doing videos great if you like doing tales time to do all that I only commented as a suggestion
I had to chuckle about the plowing sand comment, that’s all we have on our farm too, with the right amount of rain and fertilizer you can grow pretty much anything! I’m right there with ya
Plowing prairie field has the most amazing smell that most people will find it hard to comprehend . It's one step above cutting alfalfa and clover with a sickle bar mower on sunny morning . Two of the best smells of farming . Only one smell I miss more is a rain after thunder and lightning storm on a warm sunny summer afternoon . When you can open the window and fall asleep with smell filling the room at night ! Never slept so great !
I've worked for farmers and each one done things there own way. I just enjoy your videos and seeing you work each of your tractors so continue the good work brother.
Love those C's. That fast hitch plow looks great and makes me wish I had one. My no. 8 does a smokin' job but fast hitch just looks really clean. Kills me on how the C and the H are similar in tillage capacity. Great video and some of those haters are just going to hate. Thanks for sharing your fleet with us 'want to be farmers'. 👍🤛
OK, I operated one of these back in the day. Because of erosion issues our ends we could not leave any headlands (we didn't even know what that was). We left a strip about tractor length on each end up against fences, woods, or lowlands. With two row equipment it worked ok. When we moved up to 4 row and others began to do 6 and 8 rows the narrow turn area did not work so well especially when the ends included point rows. We still had the erosion issues, so we stopped row cropping to keep gullies from washing on all steep ends. Between me and my dad, mostly my dad, we whore completely through the wings on original Plow Chief bottoms. He replaced the bottoms with Super Chief and maybe used the plow for one more year before it found its place in the fence row. I rescued it a few years back and use it now and again.
We pulled a 3/16’s Oliver plow with our 400. That was no problem , don’t listen to the no it alls in the comments ( there is always a few ) the super C and 400 are beasts , great tractors still today ! Boom 🇺🇸
I was raised with a 400 farmall and I have a 200, both with the fast hitch, if you take out the pin at the top of the lift rod before plowing then your plowing will be floating, that will help you keep the plowing level, another tip that they designed is to move the pins at the point where the two points are inserted will allow the attachments to move side
I agree with you fanatic!! As long as you get from point A to point B that's all that matters. You might like to drive an extra 2 miles for the view for all I know. It's what works for you and if it doesn't you change it. You only have to please you not everyone else. If you start in the center and go round and round you would never have to lift your plow and save on wear and tear on the hydraulics. 😅😅😅😅 good day to ya!!
I'd mix buckwheat in your clover plan allowing it to reseed then the mid-September before spring planting corn go through and drill in winter rye ... then you'll get NPK in there. Plus weed (rye) and insecticide (buckwheat beneficial insects) control. Experiment with strips. I use 2-3bu/ac rye.
Thx for the therapy FF, like it when you decide to sow clover and grow venison 👍🏻so I guess let’s sow and grow…lol. Hope your health is doing well hoss, prayers🇺🇸💥🇺🇸
Awesome seeing that C pull that plow!! Good job on the camera angles and shots!! It is definitely alot harder to do than people realize!! Keep up the good work!!
Excellent video Geno :) also lots things learned on Farm back things have changed too recently when did with dad also uncle! Also was talk to my neighborhood neighbor farmer one I restoration on his 1945 Farmall H basic model he told got it this year and only doing 660 acres now ! He said cut back acres on cash crop because hearings not to good and eyes too ! Plus want do with famillies more to and he 68 years old also found a mint Farmall H tractor only thing the Generator going to a GM Delco Alternator soon want me do for too ! He told tractor found on Internet it was never starting after 1980 and got for steal $1500.00 he said stored inside too got all new tires too! I seen it and he did super well next month I serivce up!
I've never plowed with a Super C before, but she does a nice job. We plowed with an M and an H. Super was saved for planting and scraping the cow ally.
Hey Farmall nice job plowing. You're putting in clover huh? Time to get you some IH hay making stuff! Putting up hay is my favorite time of year. Keep er movin woohoo
Always liked the super c - just a few horsepower shy of an h ( but less weight) and easy on fuel. I would have liked to have heard all the decisions that went in to decisions of tractor model to choose when farmers transitioned from horses.
Awesome!! Definitely my kind of video. 👍🏽 Kudos to the clover for a year. I mostly use crimson clover and winter rye mix for soil building, but I have land in Landino clover no less than two years and wow!!! The difference growing the clover over a year or two versus annual crimson clover is definitely noticeable. Perennial clover has time to pump extra nitrogen into the soil and keep it “in place” and “ intact”. 👍🏽 In my predecessor’s pre-soybean day, biennial sweet clover was used on all fallow ground before corn. Primarily for its nitrogen fixing, but it’s long taproot “mines” the soil and brings up nutrients and minerals to the surface. That soil building skill is almost lost. Today Leaving land fallow equates to loss of income. I beg to differ. If you can and your livelihood permits, leaving ground fallow for a year has huge benefits. I’m all about soil building first and crop second.
It is your field and if I’m not mistaken, you own it you don’t rent it. You don’t lease it you don’t plow for anybody else you do you🎉🎉🎉 and party on if your happy with it and how you do it and not hurting anyone have at it and have fun 😊
I'd probably do the same thing as he does on the ends. Not everyone does the same thing on the ends, and he is doing everything the right way, so I do agree with him on that
Those fast hitch plows do a good job I has a super c I used to cultivate tobacco with my dad had an a I sold my c wish i still had it I still use dads a it’s a 1939 has the lift that works off exhaust
The tape measure confirmed it I was one of the ones that said it looked like your scratching the ground the video don't do it justice good job in think most watchers think your farming to make money when all your really doing is having fun an giving people to talk about
Your discussion of fertility is interesting. Here in the Panhandle of Texas I'm shooting for 300 bu dry. Us 250 N spoon fed thru center pivot. 200 ammonium sulfate 100 11 52 0 and 200 elemental sulfur, and a big dose of micro nutrients. The grow your own does not work too well here
I have seen people plow the head space in the other direction just to square it up and I planted crimson clover in my gardens last fall what I read it gives you the most nitrogen
I could watch farming videos all day long but it also makes me sad that I walked away from it 50 some odd years ago to make something more of myself. What was I thinking?
Could you share your thoughts on traditional tillage work and no-till planting. Just curious on your views and why you choose the traditional method. I am not a row crop farmer, we just make and sell hay. TIA
Hey FF I’ve run both and for around the farm use I’ll take the super C over the H but in the field the H in my opinion has more power and I think it can work faster and I having 4 working speeds that’s just my opinion though
If I could make a suggestion if you want to plow sand come to Florida you could plow till your hearts content you could probably pull a 4 bottom with the cub
You ever thought of putting oats and yellow clover in it cut the oats off when it just heads out for feed it will clean your wild oats if you have it and all the weeds and then next you would have sweet yellow clover to cut but don't cut it short sell it for feed that sweet clover puts lots of nitrogen in the ground that clover growers in any soil good I am sure there's a farmer will buy it for feed around you nice thing about it this year you have next years crop plantedat the same time I put it in the drill clover but I even put it in the spreader to sometimes just go over with harrows had beautiful clover
Trying to figure out the spring on the plow. Does it just give you about 3 to 4 inches of give to hope the plow points jump free of the rock? I'm guessing that might be a reason the hitch is bent on the 4 bottom plow is that it hit something big and the hitch was sloppy enough that one prong came out and it got bent?
@@FarmallFanaticreally depends on what you are using for equipment. Playing with farmalls like you do is a ton of fun. Sitting in a cab of a brand new tractor, not fun
@@FarmallFanatic I did watch video and just made an observation. I grew up on a farm in CT and we used a little giant 2 bottom and a 1949 Farmall H. Enjoy your tractors
