I realize this video is 2 years old, but I just love that classic JD plowing outfit. What a beauty.

Love the older iron for sure. Can't beat plowing either. Really good having you back Jason. Keep up the recovery. GO BTP💪

Brings back memories! I was the engineer at Des Moines Works that introduced the 2810 & 3710 back in ‘87/‘88. Hard to believe that design lives on 33 yrs later. Thank you for sharing.

Just what I was looking for: another video from BTP to ease the pressure in my life. It’s so relaxing. Thank you BTP.

Had two 12 bottom jd plows in 1988 pulled them with 975 versatile and 950 versatile . Plows did great job easy to set .

I’ve always liked the look of the front windshields on the Deere’s. Had that round/bubble look to em. To me it gave the machine character.

When that rig plows a field - the field knows it’s just been plowed lol

Brings back memories of my days on the farm

Thank u very much. Great to see old iron still at work doing what they do best.

Great Vlog, wonderful JD power, thanks for sharing

Growing up on a farm that almost exclusively plowed makes me excited to watch this video. Eventually they stopped using it because it was so expensive to maintain and herbicides were a better option. But it’s still fun seeing this go through the field!

Thank you! Needed to see dirt, sick of seeing snow.

Beautiful tractors and plows

I can smell it in Kentucky and this guy can set a plow correctly

Here in Australia up until the late 70s , one way disc plows were commonly used. Chamberlain Tractor company in Whelshpool West Oz made a 30 disc model. They could sure cover some gound and if set properly they let a beaut smooth finish. John Shearer also made excellent ploughs with hydraulic stump jump action that could be set lighter for rocky ground in cab. The one way disc plows can be opened up wider or closed up for different ground types. The 30 disc model could be opened up to around 23 feet and still do a good job at burying trash and burying weeds. Then all of a sudden ploughing became a dirty word. Scarifiers were ok, but the plough really copped a bad name. They were the cause of hardpans and erosion issues overnight. I still use a 24 disc Chamberlain plow every now and then, depending on trash levels and it is a very very cheap way of ripping or turning the dirt over and burying trash. I pull it with a 2290 Case and even when its sunk in to it maximum depth taking around a 17-18 ft cut the old 2290 has no problem at all pulling it. We have never replaced a disc on it and its covered thousands of acres over the years. We can wear out a set of points on a scarifier in a day. We can also ear a set of no till points out pretty quickly in our soils. We seem to get better yeilds with conventional four inch points because it scatters the seed and fertilizer around a bit more and doesnt burn the seed. We dont have near the amount of top soil as you lot over there in the states but i have seen a few farms using big mulbourd ploughs to bring up a bit of clay in sandy non wetting soils. Great vid as always👍👍

The 60/70 series 4wd John Deere tractors are my favorite 4wd tractors

Everytime you post a video, i usually get here as fast as I can, always love seeing modern, but also old iron too, thank you BTP for passing my time especially when Im bored

Welcome back BTP....you’ve been missed!

Man she’s shining and h so nicely!!! The plow that is.

Looks like fairly sandy ground. Even with new land slides and lathes when we used to plow in our heavy ground the dead furrow would look like you were driving drunk....There was a lot of side draft going on trying to roll that heavy gumbo.

That plow is sit correctly, looks good!

I used to have an 8 bottom plow i pulled it with my case 2470 it was a pretty nice setup

Man! Look at all those different machines out there at work! Sweet! Definitely one of the biggest plows I've ever seen! And the dual exhuast on the John Deere disking was interesting! Thanks for sharing brother!

That is an awesome looking setup👍😁 I like plowing action😉👍

Nice machine 👍

Great video! That's some awesome plows! The largest plow that we had was a 5 bottom plow. Thanks for sharing! Have a great and awesome day!

There's a lot to be said for GPS, many tractor drivers today wouldn't have a clue how to use a conventional plow ,you would have to work out your stetches so they both marry up,it's not like a reversible plow where you start at one headland and finish at the other. If I was to be really picky ,the plow would have given a much cleaner finish if it was fitted with skimmers ,the plow in the video wasn't set right as you could still see corn stalks and rubbish that wasn't buried , plowing is slow and expensive operation if you don't care about the finish you may as well use a heavy cultivator ,great video I prefer a track laying tractor for plowing much better distribution of weight and more pulling power. Kind regards, Kevin Fox,England Essex

Great video!!

OK im Red-blooded but the first ten seconds of this tractor just ripping it blew me away, Nice.

thats one job i loved doing is plowing.nice video

Dang that is a huge plow and the 8960 sounds awesome

AWESOME, THANK YOU...

Who dislikes this video?! What a puttz

Farm tractor guys Curtis and or Wagner always said and truthfully that it takes weight to pull weight, so my point is that old Wagner was quite heavy and it's old 14 l Cummins pulled very well because that Bud was heavy, that big JD had a big similar 14 l Cummins, much newer, but both pulled well according to Weight but not necessarily according to HP,awesome video guys

Wheel weights and front weights of 8-10,000 pounds could greatly reduce slip if axle loads allow. Thanks for sharing brother!

Good to see some fresh dirt 👍🚜

Amazing 😊👌

I'd love to smell that ground as it's turned over. Most acres are now no-till in my area and I'm sure there are some youngsters who may never know that wonderful scent. I'll never forget it.

great and big tractor

We run a two John Deere plows with buster bars. One is a 10 bottom and the other is a 12 bottom. Pulled by a 9430 and 9420R. My dad has been plowing for over 40 years and his dad before him.

Love me some green paint tearing up some ground !

I am guessing this field is snow covered now.I wonder how the 8970 would pull the 3700 with 30 more hp & power bulge

Que hermosura de maquinas

SIXTEEN, EIGHTEEN Inch bottom plow!!!!! Versus the two, fourteen inch bottom plow I pulled with dad’s 1949 Case model SC. DAMN! That’s an advantage of 260 inches (21 2/3 feet) per pass. Double DAMN!

That's turning some dirt...👍👍

74K for a plow 😂 I couldn't imagine... I guess someone still buys them. Thanks for the video! Awesome quality as always!

It doesn't take long for the moldboards to polish up real shiny. That 8960 is making it look real easy, too.

Top

farming done right, right here. great video. hope you are well, haven't been seeing much content

Nice👍

I used to plow gardens with a Farmall Super A and one bottom plow in high school

The 60/70 series was the best 4wd tractors John Deere has ever made in my opinion, I ran a 8870 in the 90s poling a 57’ air seeder

Très fort

Had no idea Deere was still building plows 71,000 is pretty steep though considering you can buy turbo tills or mulch rippers cheaper than that and cover mire ground in a day. Still a cool old school video!

I see a little power hopping going on... I used to run a 8960. It was running around 425 hp and would power hop too. We tried different things to stop it and finally settled on lower tire pressure. Had a 350 Cummins in it. Standard quad range trans and was a good trouble free tractor.

I live in the city and know nothing about farming but this is all so intriguing to me.

It looks like the 370 horsepower range is a very versatile model in all the tractor companies 🌻

Very much enjoyed your video.

I liked to plow. Used a 4430 John Deere 5 16 bottom, and a 8440 with 7 20. Miss thoughts days.

Pretty significant slippage

Looks like a plow day... Just a little newer and bigger machines then the Johnny poppers

thats a nice outfit,power on the land,

Wow , nice work

👍👍

👍

Wonder what the tire slippage percentage is when pulling a plow like that? These tractors nowadays throw more dirt out their tire treads that I could till in a day back when I had a 60 John Deere struggling to pull a two bottom plow set shallow. Pretty amazing!

Nice shiny bottoms on that plow, looks like it gets used quite a bit.

I have a 6 bottom JD that had to be built in the 60's. It has speed plows so it does better at 6mph than 3. Pull it with a 986 IH. Pretty field left behind.

I'm impressed with the way that Big Bud is handling the 10 bottom. Looks like much less slippage than the John Deere. At the end of the day might not be much difference in the amount of ground plowed even thought is 2 bottoms less.

He sure has a nice collection of equipment!

I am interested in the case IH 2166 axial-flow combine harvesting corn

Love the smell of turned dirt

Big Bud is working a lot harder

You ever gonna get some merch?

Moldboarding is great ig you do not get a lot of winter precipitation. That causes excessive erosion of loose soils.

Bet the old girl is drinking a lot of diesel pulling that plough

Im planing on buying land in mexico , for crops. Thank you .

👀YES 👍 💋💪

Nothing polishes steel like soil

Hello! Awesome ancient tractor performing flawlessly!

I think every plow should have one of those rake things to break up the clumps. But this is an impressive plow.

Good video she's doing a great job

what is the price of case IH 2166 axial-flow combine harvesting corn

I hear a Screaming Jimmy at 5:30😀

Good plough for level ground but wont work on hilly terrain

Wish I could do that all day!

Happy new year big tractor power, where have you been?i think for a few weeks you havent made any video, welcame back

That soil looks really compacted.

Plowing was the best part of farming to bad no one does it anymore

Looks like that Big Bud is a bit lean on DEF... I'd open the spigot another 1/4 turn or so.

👍👍👍👍

How soon after harvest are these fields plowed?

👍👍👍

Maybe it's my imagination, but that 8960 seems to have a lot of tire slippage pulling that 12 bottom plow.

Probably not to many of those plows sold in that frame size. See a fair number of 6 and 7 bottom 3700s but nothing that much bigger than that. Looks like the ground was righ on the verge of being to damp to run that day.

8020 in the background?

Are those tires on that 8960 710x42s?

That’s good looking fields, do you put manure on your fields. 🤔

At one time there was a 18 bottom moldboard plow a former boss of mind had one. And it was red in color. In the fall my former boss had me greese it. And put greese on the surface of each plow.

Impressive
