Working up a Snow Covered Field - In this video I am out in the field with a John Deere 9420R tractor pulling a 25 foot wide Versatile Fury high speed disk. The field in this video had winter wheat on it which was harvested back in June then after harvest the field was seeded with a cover crop mix of oats and sunflowers. It started snowing on this morning and we were curious how this would all work up in the snow.

By discing in the snow you add stored moisture. How the snow helps the dry soil. 🙂 Nice video Mike.

I love tillage in light snow. Makes an excellent contrast to watch. If it was cold enough that the snow wasn't melting right away, it wasn't going to overheat that engine. I can't see how that is much different than a semi tractor running down the highway hauling a full load with the wind screens over the radiator either fully or partially closed.

Just guessing but looks like a little power hop going on, tires look they need air pressure adjusted. We have a 9470R and it hopped terribly till we got that set.

I wonder if engaging the tractor's differential locks would have helped with the low traction situation so you could run a little faster than 6-7 mph?

Losing traction was not the problem but the snow was bunching up if he went much faster and causing the front blades to plug
