We had a set of plows looked just like them good plow they was 2 14 they was a pain to set but once you got them you was good to go only thing I didn’t like they would pull you to death we still got a set of 3 16 Massey Ferguson and I like the bigger ones better then the smaller one beleave or not the bigger ones pull a lot better and easier keep up the good work and videos

That garden in the bottom land plowed very nicely, beautiful looking dirt too. In my opinion it’s a little early to plant but every year the first sunny week people start calling. It is a good time to start turn plowing and let the ground loosen up about two weeks. Thanks for watching!

Me and daddy have spent many late nights breaking land together back when we had tobacco. Nothing like being on and open cab tractor hearing that thing pull and when it pulls real hard I’ve even seen sparks fly out the exhaust at night. Good times right there

Enjoy the videos, and you will do fine with the garden just remember the K.I.S.S. method and apply it to gardening also....just don't be complacent and neglect to weed as soon as you see them, not tomorrow, a strap hoe makes quick work, if you use it when weeds are small! there is nothing more discouraging than a weedy garden, when you are fighting to pick the produce.........and if you don't want to weed ask around there is pre emergent herbicides you can use to help out......for a while, at a cost.....

I know your doing short runs but try to go faster. Your plow is considered a high-speed plow. Most of the old plow manuals state you should be going between 3-5mph that helps the plow roll the dirt all the way over. Really enjoy the video I went back the past couple days and watched a lot of your old videos so the last time I saw your backyard it was all bare dirt and you were working on it still looks good all finished and covered in grass.

@khtractors 2 жыл бұрын
