Here is Part 1 of the long-anticipated PA Plow Day 2018 video series! I decided to change things up a little bit this year instead of having 4 lengthy parts like I did last year. The next part will follow shortly.
DISCLAIMER: there is NO PLOWING shown in this video, just clips of various things going on during the two days at the event. GoPro plowing footage will be shown in the next video. I made the mistake of taking too many pictures and not enough video clips to go along with the pictures, so I added a few voiceovers to the video to make things interesting. The voiceovers explain most of the important events that occurred within our "John Deere Squad" at the 13th Annual PA Plow Day.
It was another successful year and I had a great time at the plow day! Got to meet several new faces, reunite with some good friends, run a few different garden tractors aside from my own, and most importantly, got to help out a farmer. I want to extend a special thanks to Josh Snyder, family, and friends who made the event possible. Here are some of the fellow RU-vidr's (all friends of mine) who you will see in this video.
Jimmy (JohnDeere318Guy)
Evan (1990johndeere318)
Tyler (All About Machines)
Hugh (pacificdrumma)
Andy (FullThrottle Andy)
Liam (Cunningham's Cadets)
Rory (Lobsterbox20) - Was great meeting you! Glad you were able to make the long trek from Alberta for this event.

Great video. I sure like plowin. I am wondering why most plowers don’t use the coulter. Most garden tractor plowing I watch is the same way. You don’t see the antique tractor guys doing that with their plows. Just wondering.

MichaelTJD60 personally I like that a lot you can lift up the plow or deck and still have both hands on the steering wheel. It's nice to have a tractor that you don't need 4 hands to operate lol

That was one of the best looking convoys I have ever seen the Cubs and the Deere's going up the road. How many acres did you all plow all together look like quite a few acres there for just a day and a half or so. Did you ever get the 111 tractor fixed I ain't seen anything new yet? And another great video Sir I look forward to seeing video plowing for this year
@MichaelTJD60
@MichaelTJD60 5 лет назад
We had plowed 129 total acres when it was all said and done. As for the 111, I parted it out and scrapped what was left. Most of the tractor was too far gone. That was 5 years ago.

@MichaelTJD60
@MichaelTJD60 5 лет назад
Thanks. We are usually instructed not to plow the headlands because there are so many tractors moving around the edges of the field...we need to allow room for them to pass through, and still have enough room for other tractors to turn around at the end of the furrow.

Nice video... I've been watching these plow day videos and would love to attend one. I live in upstate New York and can't find any around here. I've got a John deere 430 with a 12 inch 3 point plow. I would love to take a trip down to PA to do this. Can anyone do this or do you need to be part of a club. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.

@MichaelTJD60
@MichaelTJD60 6 лет назад
One of my friends plowed with a 345 last year which has the same rear end as a GT225. With ag tires and cast iron wheel weights you should be able to plow just fine. Turf tires and chains won't cut it unless you are really lucky.

@MichaelTJD60
@MichaelTJD60 6 лет назад
A friend of mine ran a 345 last year, which is basically just the older version of the X530. It plowed just as good as the rest of the tractors there. If you have ag tires, weights, and a sleeve hitch, come join the fun. Someone at the event might have a plow for you to try out or buy.

Just traced the pattern on a piece of paper and made a rough cutout on some cheap hardware store diamond plate, then drilled and pop-riveted it in place. But it looks terrible and is starting to rust out underneath because water collects under the plate.

You mentioned that you had to keep topping off the tank because of gravity feed. Thought about putting another outlet on the other side,ran together or single. Watching your vids has made me want a 200 or 300 series John Deere. They are not cheap.
@MichaelTJD60
@MichaelTJD60 6 лет назад
I had plans to build an auxiliary fuel tank with a selector valve to switch between both fuel tanks, but it never happened. I was searching for a 300-316K with the larger fuel tank, but this 140 H3 was basically handed to me for free, so I couldn't refuse. The market for old garden tractors is currently at a low, so if you can find them for sale, now is the time to buy.

Is it because the frame or the transmission?
@MichaelTJD60
@MichaelTJD60 6 лет назад
Transmission. The frame is shared with the GT series (GT242, GT262, GT275, etc), which are considered pretty heavy garden tractors. So you shouldn't have to worry about the frame. But the Peerless 801 trans in that LX173 wasn't designed for pulling heavy loads, especially ground-engaging attachments.
@nashbraymen9564
@nashbraymen9564 6 лет назад
Okay so If you put a stronger transmission and maybe add some weight it could be a homemade garden tractor?
@MichaelTJD60
@MichaelTJD60 6 лет назад
In theory, yeah. The most direct fit would be a K70 transaxle from a GT275. But I don't know if different mounts would have to be used. I'm sure the drive belt would also have to be changed. At that point a GT225 would be the most similar model...Kohler Command engine and a K70/K71 trans. For what it's worth, you'd be better off just buying another tractor for plowing.
