That plow is set perfect for that sod. Great green manure. Right up there for some of the best plowing I've seen. Good job! Buy that plow. You have some neat videos.
Nice to see real farming once in a while the horse or the mule and a plow and a fucking shotgun or rifle was what made this country amen young man keep being what your being
Such plowing that you use is nothing new to me, in Poland where I live, many farms plow at least once every two seasons, the basis of a good plowing taught by my father, a well-adjusted plow, does not have to go too deep, nor too shallow, plow furrows must be at perfect distances to each other. And after the first level crossing, you can boldly release the steering wheel, the same rut after the last furrow leads the tractor in a straight line. Greeting from Poland :D
I know talking like a know-it-all makes you feel special and all, but nobody asked for your advice. Plowing, in general, is as old as time. Don't act like you invented it.
Got your work cut out for you. Always difficult changing a pasture or hay field back to a row crop. Would have liked to see the plow a bit deeper. Assuming you hit it a couple of times with a disk?
Gavin Spoor bet that disking was rough haha ! We did some plowing cornstalks last year on our farm, and I ran the disk over it with our 4650 and wow. I cracked my head on the glass a few times 😂
Yep, use/buy what you can find. Nothing wrong with that. My 504 pulls a 3 bottom 3 point. Little heavy but pulls fine. Maybe some day I'll run into some front weights and bracket.
Gavin Spoor My apologies. I totally understand that. We finally quit using mold board plows. I have a 5, and 6 bottom semi mounted IH plows and two 3 bottom snap coupler and a 4 bottom 3 pt hitch. I know plow poor lol
Nice video I've read in the comments why didnt you go deeper to me it looked like you were 5 or 5 1/2 main thing was when you seen what you were flipping over it looked like you were under the roots. Maybe popcorn dont need 8in or maybe the soil was moist. People always have things to say as an outsider looking in. I have a international 586 with a 3x16 and 72 massey 135 2x16 I never do 8in.
Looks like you've been taking good care of that plow. She cuts like a razor. I think it's pretty neat that you made your tractor into a half-and-half row-cropper of sorts as well. Not many people would have put that much thought into it.
Instead wasting so much fuel plowing to kill grass. Just run a mower at the lowest setting. Which will help dry out the stem of the grass fast. Then run a disk over whats left.
Jason Buis plowing to the best of my knowledge isn’t used only in the hopes of killing grass. It is used to turn over the soil to bring nutrient rich dirt from below the surface up to the top and also to open up new fields and make a good seed bed
Terminator Maurer maybe that’s all he can afford to buy? Plus what the hell is wrong with international? U do realize that just because of a tractors color doesn’t mean it’s better than another.. I’ve been around John Deere all my life. I’ve got a family farm full of them.. John Deere doesn’t always do a better job than IH or allis or new holland or Massey
Good luck! We still used a 1066 for random shit, and we needed to just paint our 4 row plow for reasons. (ours is a bit different). Kudos for keeping the cab on the 1066. Dad had asthma and since it was so hot with no A/C we got rid of our cab on ours. NJ. (1066 was our main tractor for soooo long ;)) We could plant soybeans into pasture though last time we tried it, there were some addatives for it, but we didn't need to plow it. We did right into pasture. (maybe part of the country, we're in North Missouri) (we do notill, and that's kind of our bag) We only do field corn (sometimes goes food grade) and soybeans though.
There's nothing really to worry about with a plow that small unless you drive like an un-hinged teenager. Slow and steady wins the race and all that...
