Moldboard Plowing NEW Ground! Fall Tillage With The Minneapolis Moline! 

This is great! Thanks for not overlaying it with music but letting us listen to the tractor and the dirt turning over.

Great video, good thing we fell off the back of the plow, didn't get buried. LOL My great grandfather plowed garden with a 2 bottom plow pulled by his 1950s Ford golden jubilee. We would always gather worms for fishing after he plowed. Great memories from long ago.

I'm not a farmer, worked on a few in my younger days, but I could watch plowing for hours.

Sounds just like Grandpa working it when he was alive. He had Minneapolis Moline like that one and a 4 bottom plow. He lived in eastern WI so he had some hills too. That grunting Minnie Mo had a unique sound in its own way. I guess all tractors come with there unique sounds.

WOW 😃 Moldboard Plowing, Minneapolis. Thanks. Naaman

Lucky young man to have such a old Tractor in that condition and pulling that 4 furrow plow, what a great job it was doing as well. It is nice to see a young man take interest in keeping the old machines alive. Thanks so much for the great video. Gierok on the camera excellent.

Since I have been watching your channel I’ve never seen that Minneapolis moline in any other video except for this video

It's good to see young guys with an appreciation for older equipment and carrying on with farming. I left the farm when I was out of high school and off the college. That was over 50 years ago. Part of me wishes I had never left.

Now that brings back memories. Not all good or bad. I've spent many many hours out in the fields getting them plowed down. We used to say a poor job of plowing in the fall was better than a great job in the spring. We would run a 930 Case and an JD 4020 pulling 4-18 Melroe plows. It would take us 3 weeks to plow down 400 acres of corn stalks in good conditions.

I definitely agree. Turning over the earth is very therapeutic. Such a sense of accomplishment. Please thank Saul for sharing his time with us.

I love seeing and hearing the vintage equipment at work. Good luck with the MM 706 Saul.

Awesome!!!! Love listening to that old iron workhorse. Thank you for sharing! It's Wisconsin. We're used to that sudden weather change stuff here. Stay safe and God bless.

at 0:50...............videos of moldboard plowing are some of my favorite videos........along with corn picking

Bet the smell of that new ground was heavenly.!! Killer video!! Cool 😎!! Thanks 😇.

Olivers pipe plows were to this day still some of the best you can plow with!

I fully agree...there is nothing like watching a moldboard plow turning over the soil. Plowing with dad's 1950 WD Allis and a 2-14s John Deere plow is how it all started. I wish I could jump on that rig again and make a few rounds. Thanks for having Saul on your program.

I agree. There is nothing like the looks of a plowed field.

I watched when you went to look at that tractor. It is quite a hard working machine and cool that your friend has it now.

Came over from Trinity Dairy. Great to see a Minnie out working. We farm in Door County with vintage CASE tractors.

NO-Tillage😂. Love the moline though,4wd sitting on the draw bar all most. Thanks so much men. Ohh beautiful country side bye the way.

There's a good visceral reaction to seeing plowing like that. The smell of the soil as it rolls over in waves is always mesmerizing. I like all of it. I remember being three or four, hardly taller than my father's knees, on the deck of an IH 806 pulling a five bottom plow that hooked onto an old stump lifting the front end of that tractor (with it's full rack of suitcase weights) off the ground and up into the sky -- and I'm hanging on for all I could. However, ... I've switched over to no-till regen ag principles. When I see farmers getting the same yield with zero chemical and no tillage inputs the goal becomes clear. I can plow for fun or I can make a profit. Yesterday I saw an old AC dealer video from the 1950s up-selling larger tractors to spend less seat time plowing plus the _five_ disk passes they recommended -- and I was thinking that changing production processes saves even more time and fuel than that -- so I guessed my thinking has really changed. Plowing is still mesmerizing and takes me back.

Plowing is the ultimate farm tilling experience. What a sense of satisfaction that you are accomplishing something!

Agree, I no till/strip till, but grew up moldboard plowing, there is an art to setting the plow and satisfying watching the soil roll through

Super excited to watch this video. Those old MM are awesome.Great running tractor.

Thats a nice Minne Mo 👍

Real sod buster!

Those big Minneapolis Molines are still saught after for the power to the ground they are capable of. for being as old as they are, for a small farm they are very efficient and effective.

I couldn't help but notice that old John Deere combine at 8:40. I hope one of you can rescue that thing someday, those old combines are cool. That one is even more noteworthy for having the "round back" straw walkers.

We still won't bored a lot here on our place in Western PA but mostly in the spring for the spring crops now we will mold board for speltz and wheat in the fall the only real fall tillage we do is we will chop and then disc in our corn stalks which we have about 10 acres of them left to do here as soon as we get some either dry or frozen weather in the next few days. I do agree with you there's nothing like moldboarding and there's nothing like watching it done the only thing more fun that's being in the tractor seat on the plows it's turning the dirt

Those old Oliver pipe beam plows are by far the best plows

I loved being able to watch the dirt turn over again. Now if you could find a way to give me that sweet sweet smell of freshly turned dirt I’d be a happy old plow jockey.

Really love ur videos, just wanted to tell you that ur Dad reminds me of my uncle donny, I spent many a summer's on his dairy farm and he was a talker just like ur dad. U guys are very down to earth hard working people. May God bless you and your family

Nice job that tractor just playing with that plow.

Awesome video I have put lots of hours on them old Minneapolis Moline tractors like that I had a G705 diesel and 5 mf97s mine were all 2 wheel drive I was plowing once in the spring time with the exact same Oliver plow and I hooked on a rock with the 4th bottom back and it was sliding under the tractor the rock was so huge it slid the rock along ways until I spun out and had to lift the plow and back up to get off of the rock. I sawed lumber with them too for thousands of hours the last one I used to saw lumber would take 5 gallons of fuel per hour I maxed the injector pump out and set the injector pressure up some and advanced the timing I figured that I was getting 150 horsepower out of it on the pto shaft I was direct coupled to the sawmill.

nothing like watching old iron still getting it done, thanks for sharing

God bless you Saul in your farming adventure. Hope you have great success.

Nothing more satisfying than turning ground over

Try replacing the fuel filters again try additives that will clean and lubricant the fuel injectors and the pump. The EPA continues it's march to ruin the diesel engine and have removed sulfur which was the primary lubricant for fuel system components.

ploughing really well there , good to see that beautiful old tractor at work , we always plough in the autumn and let the weather break the ground up one pass with a drag in the spring and it was ready to plant

I was thinking that sure does look like an Oliver pipe plow! Oliver made the best plows out there in my opinion.

Dam the Minneapolis was tugging. And there is nothing better than watching the oliver plow just turning the soil. Awesome video

How refreshing to see you plowing. I was born and raised in western Oklahoma back when we plowed, done a lot of it in my day. Now days, they all no till. Thanks for showing this. Keep on farming!!!

You shown a rare bird around our part of the world. Moline is a rare tractor, in our part of the country it was John Deere, Allis Chalmers, IH, Case, Massys, in bigger tractors of lots of Fords. Also I don’t recall seeing many pull type moldboard plows used, mostly 2 and 3 bottom 3 point hitch plows. Of course any tillage in my area of NC is virtual non existent except small garden type. No till is the way it’s done

The Moline's have always been tough horses!

Thanks for the wonderfull plowing video!! That MM G706 is a nice unit ! Quite a rare collector tractor from my area (Manitoba) not many MM front wheel assist tractors around. I do have a G705 parked in the shed , seeing that G706 , makes me want to plow a bit next year with my G705.

At first I thought that Minneapolis moline was your tractor I didn’t realize it was a friends tractor

The ol Minnie's are a beast! Fun to watch plowing for sure! Thanks for sharing

That's going to be some dandy soil come spring. I love hearing that old tractor pouring the coal to her. Thanks for the great content

It's rather satisfying watching that soil roll off the plow, it reminds me of waves from the ocean.

I remember 15 years ago a neighbor bought some CRP land that was grass for many years and the first year of farming it the corn was several feet taller than the cab on a 1660 combine. About the same time another neighbor a mile away did the same with some CRP ground and had less than 10 bushel beans. I'm hoping Saul will have good luck on that field next year

I haven’t plowed in years but used to love to see the ground turn over so was nice to see and great sounding tractor

Absolutely love watching big old iron plowing it never gets old thanks for letting me hear that beautiful diesel engine instead of annoyingly music well done

When I bought my farm in '77 it came with a MM U i believe it was, narrow front and steered like a lumber truck. But we used it for hauling manure, raking hay and grinding feed. In an emergency we pulled a plow with 2-18's. "the good old days" lol

Love Minneapolis Moline-way ahead of their time-shame they got bought out and consolidated.

Neat video. The old Minnie Mo doesn't sound too bad. He'll get her up to snuff pretty soon I'm sure. Good looking plow job.

The 706 should easily pull 5 bottom. Love the sound of a strIght pipe!!!!

That big 504 cubic inch engine handled that Oliver Pipe Plow with no problems.

What a wonderful video,,that tractor sounds great

That tractor and plow are doing a great job

Wow, works really good!!!

Great to see the plow in action and Oliver made some really good plows. Also great to see thee MM out there moving right along.

There is something oddly satisfying watching that plow turning the ground over

I used to watch coyotes and predatory birds hunt mice while plowing, even deep breaking. That was the only entertainment for the day. Even saw a coyote get one of the hawks one time. That was wild!

Beautiful tractors, beautiful gothic arch dairy barn. I love plowing, I spend more time looking back than forward. Watching the dirt turn is mesmerizing. That said, his plow is not adjusted correctly, the frame should be parallel with the ground both ways. I know not much about Oliver plows but drop "That Oliver Guy Chris Losey" a not on RU-vid, he knows everything about them, I mean everything. He literally grew up at an Oliver dealership. Great farm, Sol is a lucky man. Best regards from Indiana.

Two good ole boys out farming. Nice video!

We used to fall plow what we were gonna plant corn in, ground worked up like ash in the spring.

Now that’s cool !!!!! even if it’s not RED 😊

Beautiful soil, turning over real nice. Regards from Down Under.

AWESOME just AWESOME...great video love that Mini Mo and Oliver pipe plow.

Oliver plows were the best!!!!

I wish you would explain how to open a field, what a dead furrow is, how one has to do loops and cant just do a 180 and go etc.

The old mm and Oliver trackors were a head of the other ones back then. They may have been the first 4 wheel drive trackors. Some land better tilled. If you sod plant every year the hard pan gets so conpacked here it will not grow anything. Good video and job. Take care , be safe and well

Man, this really makes me want to get our G706 going! That straight pipe makes that thing sound amazing!

Turning the old sod in nicely , good sound on the tractor . 👍🇬🇧

Go get em Boyz!! Love seeing videos of older stuff especially if you're at Saul's place. Keep em comin. Heck yeah! ❤️🇺🇲💪

You need to put cows in that nice barn over there! Plowed with a XT190 Allis & 5 x16's IH plows, semi-mount, back in the early 70's! 178 Freguson wouldn't do it! I run 1 Moline! Nice plowing!

Enjoy seeing the old tractors work…I have a John Deere 40S, 1953 built in April. Coming up on 70 years young and continues to run great. I also have a John Deere 2150, putting a new water pump on it now…1985 model. Repainted in November 2019.

That Minnie Mo is Beastly so awesome cool to watch in action!!!!! Thanks for sharing

The Minneapolis Moline made in Hopkins Minnesota town I used to work in

Pretty cool. My grandpa had Minneapolis moline tractors when I was growing up. Same kind of plow he pulled it with a M602 diesel. Lee up the good work god bless our farmers

Nice to see the old workhorse in action! Love to see old iron at work! Keep them coming. Nice job!

Hope everything works out for Sol. John T. Great video too.

Thanks Saul!

Oh, and that MM is a beast!

The Minnie is a beast👍

Nice, that was satisfying. Thanks for sharing.

at 10:40.............nice job laying that sod over

Awesome, I've got a G705 I really need to get going. That 504 engine sounds great

Awesome sight to see! Sweet setup too!

Moving right along

Maybe try putting some atf in the fuel tank. It's supposed to clean out the diesel system

Great tractor!

The most satisfying is plowing over gopher mounds.

The tractor sounds like it has a lot of power! !

As i remember, the deal was not finalized when you went to look at it, so great surprise he bought it. Great to see the machine being put through its paces. I have to say, your channel has a very grounding and tranquil character, great to watch. It often reminds me of a David Lynch movie, "the Straight Story", a very down to earth and almost soothing story. Thanks for all your hard work!

This was very satisfying!👍

I swear I just saw an "ELM" Tree in the distance?? NICE 'Moline!

That was my favorite job on the farm plowing when I was younger. I would plow all night just enjoyed it for hours

Nice. Old Oliver pipe plows were the best of the era. That MM could handle about 3 more bottoms. Nice video!

You should do a video on that old JD combine Saul has sitting in the fence row. Would be cool to do a video on his Gothic arch barn too.
