Big Tractors Plowing in Illinois. In this video I am out in the field with a farm in Illinois in the fall of the year as they are plowing under harvested corn fields. I was out here two different days as the first day it was raining and snowing and git a little slippery on top.
On the first day I was here they were running their Versatile 550 Delta Track Tractor pulling a Salford 14 bottom moldboard plow and their Challenger 1042 tractor pulling a Salford 10 bottom plow.
When I was back two weeks later they were running the Versatile Delta Track and 14 bottom plow but had switched the 10 bottom plow to their Cat 855B Challenger and they also had their Case IH 340 half track Magnum Tractor on a John Deere model 3710 8 bottom plow.
This farm grows non GMO corn and soybeans and moldboard plowing works out great for them.
Thanks for watching and please LIKE, COMMENT and SUBSCRIBE.

Back in the late sixties, at 13,I was in the seat of a John deere 4020 with 5-16's. Plowed all day and into the dark. Best times of my life! Morris Illinois. Thanks

I grew up on a farm in central Indiana in the 70's and spent many hours doing this. Except I was on a JD 4440 with no cab. It had a white/orange umbrella over the seat and a corroded AM radio on the left fender. I was too short to reach the pedals and my uncle strapped a 30 lb bag of corn to the seat so I could reach! lol Many nights I could see my Aunt coming across the field in a pickup truck to make me come in. No joke, I was a workin' fool even back then. Liked and subbed

I guarantee you that PhD behind your name is a lie because I seen multiple posts by you and every one of them you've proven to be a moron that has literally no idea what you're talking about! Style plowing is one of the absolute most destructive things you can do to your soil. First it tends to blow away but more then anything you kill off all your soil biodiversity by doing this!

Why do modern plows leave such an unclean furrow? Doesn't look like they go in very deep either. Back in the day where we plowed in Michigan, we sucked it down 10-12 inches and it left a perfectly clean furrow.

I have a Versatile Deltatrack driving around near me in central east Germany. I just recently found out that it is the one of the only, if not THE only Versatile in Germany, might even be the only one in Europe. When I saw it, it was pulling a Kverneland PW 100-12 12 bottom turning plow. Btw, are all Versatiles so insanely loud?

What causes the plow to jump up and down? My dad has a small farm however 90% of the grain planting was done either before I was too young to remember, different farm, or after I left home and was married so I'm not that familiar with plowing. We mostly did hogs and stuff like that when I was growing up.
