I'm going to play the pessimistic youtube commenter here "You need to offset the drawbar on the tractor to get the implement closer to the fence, you kids know nothing!" 🤣😂

69 year old former New York farmer and I swear that I can smell that dirt

I've been loving these videos. Hope your eye is healing. I've noticed you been letting dad do the tractor driving and lifting. Good knowing you are taking care of yourself and Senior is participating in your recovery. Thanks for bringing us along. I've plowed many an acre with my dads 3 disc John Deer breaking plow. It did much the same job as a Moboard plow but roller the disc. It also had the wheel lift rope pull. I've worn out a few ropes myself.

I can't imagine our sod busting forefathers breaking virgin soil with a wooden plow and a mule. Must've been a tough and determined bunch.

Excellent video it's nice to see you and senior out doing projects together

I enjoy watching you work with your dad. Lost my dad at 88 years old in 2008 and I still miss working with him.

Senior's spot on - I blow dry my Husky riding mower after nearly every use. Their open frames collect grass clippings with can block the movement of the hydro transmission 'lever' or actuating arm just behind the engine mounting area. My grandpa always made the point it is easier and cheaper to clean your equipment after every use. You also are looking it over every time for indicators of potential problems.

Electronics and hydraulics are just the ticket for a lot of jobs but if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it and if simple works, don’t reinvent it. I can’t imagine that any modern contraption could do the job at hand any better than this vintage farm helper. I’m glad you rethought your decision to try fall planting of the Go-Pro crop. It’s been proven that fall planting doesn’t give you any advantage over springtime planting. Get the seeds in in mid April and before long you’ll see the tiny lenses poking up from the beds. Sr has still got the knack for running the old equipment. 🥸👍👀✅

It looked like the ground had just the right moisture content for working it up. It was fun watching the M pulling the sub-soiler!

That was a real treat to see the subsoiler in action with GREAT camera angles. Hard freezing this winter should mellow out some of the compaction from the tractor tires. Like the old saying about plowing, the worst job of plowing in the Fall is still better than the best job in the Spring.

Gorgous opening scenes Toby! Your woodland is taking on a perfect fall. Thanks much for taking us along.

My dad always told me that plowing a garden once in a while helps the garden. He been gone many years. I try to remember everything he taught me about gardening. I wish I had small tractor with a one bottom plow to do it with.

The Super M sounds great, looks great. Takes me back to when you two were pulling cylinder liners out of the egg-shaped holes in the short block.

Passenger side rear tire is low on air on the nice super M I love it thanks BigAl California

My uncle use to rototill his garden. Got so the carrots were 1 1/2 in in dia and 4 inches long. When I got my tractor I moldboard plowed it 8 inches deep. Problem solved.

I love those old machines, their simplicity, and the fact a genius designed and built a simple and well working unit. And that nice little “M” just chugging along at an idle with not a care in the world, now tell me how you like the new stuff better, I don’t, this is the oldies I enjoy.

Isn’t it amazing how much capital equipment it takes to run a farm? Thank heavens that old stuff still works.

Nice . I enjoyed watching . Thanks for sharing .

Still can't get over how smooth that Super M is!

Toby, the super M is running great and the subsoiled did a good job too. Nice to see you and Sr doing another project together.

You guys are getting this done just in time the cold weather is coming great video thanks for sharing love seeing the old iron putting in work

Senior has been on a Tractor at least once before, great job Senior. 😃

Beautiful fall foliage colors and another great video! On a personal note, my Dad taught me to wipe off the excessive grease from thè zerk when done. He was a neat nut like me and said the excess grease would just collect dust and dirt and get caked up. Just a friendly heads-up so he doesn't give you the stink-eye too. LOL 😅😅😅 Seriously, great content as usual!

Thanks for the video Toby! Nice to see as Rick says the not so Super M out and working again! That sure did a great job. Thanks again Toby

Y'all do such a good job at everything you touch. It's a rare pleasure to see this in our throw away society.👍

It's a little hard to notice at the start, but by about 10:45 it's pretty clear that the soil is getting real broken up by how deep the super M's wheels are sinking into the dirt versus at the very start. Another little idea that could be done to help boost the productivity of the garden plot would be to collect as much saw mill dust and ashes from the wood stove. Mix those together and spread them over before roto-tilling. Kinda like drying and crushing in egg shells. I would suggest shrimp and crab shells if you were closer to the ocean and availability were higher.

I don't blame him I'd be doing that too after the wash up can't have any water seeping into the trans and diff areas. The M acted like it was pulling an empty stone boat. No grunting what so ever and smooth never seen a subsoiler work so slick.

I remember when I was younger a neighbor has a old ground driven sub soiler it was huge it had 4 foot steel wheels on it I bet that the shank would have about 3 feet long with a chain hooked to it with a 6inch steel ball on the end it could make a tractor work in heavy ground

Love the sound of the IH 4 cylinders

Crisp Autumn day, beautifull Autumn colours, pity we can't smeel the engine working.

While I miss seeing you out there operating, it’s good to see senior getting some seat time. Hoping for a great report from the doctor on the first!

Great camera angles, makes us being live in action! 😂 Have to do something similar to my garden in the spring, turning a piece of lawn into something more useful, probably by hand, Luckily on a much smaller scale... Thx for showing!" 👍👍👍

I finally got my dad's old IH B250 diesel out of storage, thanks for motivating me to get on it!

This reminds me of the BBC "Wartime Farm" episode where they tried to improvise a subsoiler based on a UK wartime design and completely underestimated the forces involved. If they'd been KZfaqrs they probably would have used the resulting metal pretzel to reengineer their design but it was broadcast so the end result was hardpan 1 farmers 0. How close you're willing to get to that fence directly correlates to how much time you're willing to spend rebuilding it.

Great job 💪 the M just purring along 👌 over here 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 usually if we sub soil at this time of year we just leave it open for the winter let the frost into the ground and break the soil up naturally an it also helps drainage if we have a wet winter 🤔 really nice working sub soiler that 💪

Man, I love the sound of a classic Farmall.

Thanks for a great video. I especially enjoyed the close up of the trip clutch in action.

Hey Toby,,,,good to see you and Sr. out enjoying a perfect fall day together in the most awesome way possible. Hope thee eye is coming along well.

Any moisture you get now will be able penetrate deeper in the ground that subsoiler is a really cool tool and I must say you have really nice sandy soil and it doesn’t really stick to the tires 😀🇨🇦

The old super just out for a stroll with that sub soiler!

Put some wings on that tip and you will get a larger soil fracture area.

Good on ya, Squatch! Great camera placements.... appreciate your going to those lengths for your viewers. The real close ups, if you play them at 0.25x you can see the soil heaving, like a continuous earthquake. Really something to watch. Also Senior is a skilled operator in anything he gets in the seat of!

Great Video. The Super M is a Beautiful Machine

Thanks for the video Toby! The M hardly worked up a sweat with the subsoiler. Cheers

I like the sound coming from the diff on that M.

Very handy tool. Fun to watch it work up close like that. My brothers wive's family have the modern version of a subsoiler for their farms. Works well as advertised.

The old chisel works very well thanks for sharing.

that sub soil plow really works nice ,I got a garden that needs that treatment bad ,I am going to go on the hunt for one ....the m is running like a fine watch ........

That ought to help the garden. I wish I had done that to my small garden plot i recently moved.

Great video!! Thank you for sharing!!

Makes me realize I need to get my H put back together and running soon, also need to freshen up my Ferguson and restore my little genius #8 2 bottom

Had a old John Deere subsoiler much like your Ih one but converted it to 3 point with a 18 inch cultivator sweep on the point talk about lifting the soil. Wow pulled lack of bear at 24 inches deep.

My dad pulled a 3 bottom plow in good black Iowa soil with his Super M so that sub-soiler is a real easy pull.

Awesome show. Thanks

Very enjoyable to watch, but that Super M may as well have slept in today!😂

Nice work, I don’t have to use a subsoiler where I am in Michigan, my fields are all muck. Anywhere from 5' to 30' deep. I pushed a shallow well down for watering crops, first 20' went fast and easy, then had to get through the peat layer. That was hard.

Thanks for the video Toby.

Had never seen one that small before….works pretty good

Just some very nice old school action, could just be modern so well did it work

That is the ripper you had behind your d2 at the tractor show. Denis from Santa Rosa CA

You get a good snow melt down in there and you get some deep water in that soil

That trip mechanism is really cool.I dont think i've ever seen anything like it -with a single control action at least.

Couldn’t use a sub soiled here in western mass. We grow rocks here.

Wow, for a minute there I thought the GoPro bit the bullet. The sub soiler gets happier with excise,oil and grease.

A two shank might make that M think a little bit. 🙂

Looked like big fun! Will you moldboard plow it in the spring or just rototill?

as someone whose never been around this farm type equipment i'd love a walk thru that explains how that trip mechanism works both for the up and down.

You should cover you tractors with old bed sheets or old bed blankets to keep the dust off

Need to procure yourself a mole plow attachment for your subsoiler. It will make a tunnel for the water to break up the hard pan. It will make the tractor work too!

The right tool for the job.

Those cleats are working great, even covered in soil. The vertical shots on my big screen make me dizzy. Whee!

Max points for Senior there, His ins and outs were of ploughing match standard. Yes I know I spelled plow wrong, it's were I come from👍

Hi Squatch Hows the eye healing up? Noticed that a few other tubers have had eye injuries recently. Throughout the UK during the war 39-45 were using subsoilers with a bullet style plow bottom to break up pasture so they could plant crops like wheat and barley, It really broke up the hard pan

So cool to watch. Do you ever metal detect on your property?

I’ve never seen one of those. The idea is to mix up compacted soil? Sort of like the big chisel plows used in corn country today. I can’t imagine the rocks I’d hit up here😳.

Now with more PlowVision. I like it.

Nice episode Squatch

How far apart are you trying to subsoil? On a modern ripper shanks are 24”-30” apart typically. To get that kind of width you would most likely have to drive over the last shank pass thus adding compaction back in.

I must say that was a really nice oil can you have.

Hello : You know that you always take good care of a Lady.

There were reasons farmers turned their soil and dug down deep. It wasn't to find rocks and roots.

The M wasn't even slowed down from the working speed Senior set for it. Was that Grandma in the background? Good to see her. Did the garden pass inspection?

Please show us how the garden does next year now that the plot has been all broken up.

You can tell it's the super M cause of the whining hydraulic noises 🙃. But regardless of that the subsoiler is one of the best investments.

Now I want either a super m or a SMTA 😅

So that subsoiler is like a cultivator then health break up the ground without really tearing it too far apart, right?

Was the wax and tire shine done off camera? 😂

It's getting cold n rainy in ks now play time is over for me

Just curious. Is there clay in your area ? We had clay, but it took a post digger to find it. Sadly i drive past home, and see it on top. The old style of farming didn't encourage erosion. Thank you.

The M should draw a 3 Ripper easy, didn't struggle at all.

Sr. Was having fun

Thanks for Squatching!😂

The subsoiler looks to be a Minneapolis Moline implement.

Minor malfunction and suddenly we're snorting sod :)

What's that vibrating sound at the beginning on the super m? My super H makes a similar noise and I'm worried somethings wrong with the transmission

You'd think Senior migrated from Sweden is his twenties, judging from the accent.

I am new to this, what is “ hard pan” and how this sub soiler works ?

I bet the "M" could handle 4 or 5 ripper shanks. Fun video!

👍

What, you can back up without a back up camera. New drivers take note.😂😂😂😂
