Great video. Just plowed over the weekend myself. Love the smell of fresh dirt and diesel. Next time when your going to plow, could you do a in-depth on how you setup your plow angles and on the draft system on a Massey? It might be very helpful to the younger generation getting started. Keep up the good work!!

Good Video, Plowing is an art and it takes time to learn to plow....Make sure you get to those plow points, shins and slides before long......replaced mine a couple years ago and found everything at Agri Supply online .......They haven't made those 101 plows in about 40+ years now, but they don't make anything like they made them back then.....To last that is....

I need to do some repairs on these plows for sure. They don’t see too much use though. I visited an agri supply a few years ago, it’s an impressive store! Appreciate you watching!

Enjoyed the ride along. Brought me back to my preteen years when Dad would give Us a list of gardens to till up. Lucky for me Dad upgraded from a Farmall cub to a Jacobsen chief 7hp lawn and garden tractor. It had a 32" roto tiller on the back that did an awesome job.

I miss my little MF tractor for turn plowing. Dial the setting of the 3 point in and have at it. The tractor does the rest in difficult ground. Best draft control ever made IMHO. I would like to get a single or double bottom plough for my Yanmar Tractor

I need to turn my garden plot. Those older Masseys do make good plowers. Both my neighbors have them. One has a 255 and the other one has a 135 and a 235. You hardly have to run them a little above idle to work them. DPFs don't like low rpms as I understand it. I watched a well known KZfaqr say older 2 wd tractors aren't worth much these days. I disagree. I have a 86 32 hp 2wd Ford and it plows a single bottom pretty good and swings a 5 ft. cutter pretty darn good. Keep up the good work.

I disagree too on the 2 wheel drives. I’ve accomplished a lot over the years with 2 wheel drive tractors and still continue too. You just have to work smarter with them. Thanks for watching!

First thing i saw was the counter weight you made, i really got to make something like that, you did a very nice job with it. Pretty jealous of the nice weather you are having, its just a muck mess around here on top of the frozen ground. I guess its hard for the water to settle when everything is a hill lol!
@khtractors2 жыл бұрын
The counter weight is great! Yeah the slopes definitely help with the ground drying out. Plus all the rock underneath provides drainage. Thanks for watching!

Noticed you don’t seem to run very high rpms when plowing. Do you run a higher gear and lower rpms for a reason? Just trying to learn. Also have a 2 bottom but pulling with Ford 861.

I do that because I like to run first gear high range when I can so I don’t have to switch ranges to back up in high. These Perkins engines are great at low rpm’s. Thanks for watching
