I remember as a little girl sitting on the back porch after supper listening to the 70 as my Dad plowed in the spring My husband farmed with.our 70. I still have it. He passed a few years ago. I still love to hear 70s start and run. Good black soil!

Looks and sounds like you're plowing in 5th gear - try 4th or 3rd, and adjust that plow so it plows right... but I grew up on John Deere two-cylinder tractors in the 1950s and early 1960s and although it sounds like it's lugging down too much, it's always great to hear those John Deeres!

@kswaynes7569 6 жыл бұрын

Half way through the first pass, you lift the plow and use a putty knife to clean off the moldboards. At the end of the pass you do it again and again and again, until the moldboards are polished clean. Easier to pull and does the job it was designed to do. Also, if you start plowing at the edge of a field, you either travel to the opposite side of the field from where you started and drop the plows and travel back across the field. On a fairly level field, you never waste time, fuel or cause compaction by running the tractor back to the beginning with out plowing. Only time you might do that is to throw dirt up hill, that is why the make 2 way plows , so that you travel/plow back in the furrow you just created.

@janlabij7302 6 жыл бұрын

Because the front bottom is cutting deeper than the middle and especially the rear bottom. The 70 is a four bottom plow tractor. I can tell from the sound of the engine that the plow is out of adjustment. It is working way too hard for pulling a three bottom plow, especially a fully mounted plow, like this one. There are many techniques used to set plows, but the one I used is the simplest one. With 16" bottoms I set the plow to cut 7 or 8 inches deep. With 14's I set it to cut 6 or 7 inches deep. So we start in the field, you driving, and me walking behind while you are plowing. I tell you to stop. I would lengthen the upper link, then wave you on. When I got the plow level, front to rear. Next is right to left. You need to start from level, with the plow operating. Hard ground, extend the right lift link 1/2 to one turn. Normal ground, like you are in, should be ok at level, left to right. And level front to rear. Hydraulics set at float on that tractor, or draft control on later ones. Make sure you have good landsides on the plow, and set the rolling coulters about 3 inches deep, offset to the left of the shin 5/8th to 3/4 inches. MORE PLOWS WERE THROWN IN THE HEDGEROWS BECAUSE OF WORN OUT LANDSIDES THAN ANY OTHER REASON!!!
