Tell ‘em it’s not how ‘how to’ video it’s a ‘We do’ video! 👍

Might be safer to turn off the tractor while the kids grease it.

Muffler is loose on the 66 .

Who wants to here my opinion, thanks and greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer

Great job I think you did a fantastic job If I can give some advice advertise the rock and get rid of it learn by my mistake get rid of it somehow Great job one of the best efforts

like the grumpy farmer says you be you and ill be me, here in western ny 5 16 were a good fit for a 1066 im not sure but do on land pull any easier than semi mount? I have never pulled a on land plow

Great job and yes I’m one those guys that will watch an entire 2 hrs of plowing, one of my favourite things to do each year

The Montana visit again. That's a nice gig he has.

Making do with what you have

2:32............I am one who loves watching videos of moldboard plowing. Plowing and corn picking videos are my favorite videos on the internet.

LOL Those old tractors work best wide open heavy load. My Grandfather had them on his farm. They are basing there concern of ruining the tractor on the fact the new auto hydraulic ones would overheat and literally melt beneath you. LOL

Too, bad you don't have the time to keep picking rocks. You could have found a easier place to farm but that's how it goes. The land in the Great Lakes area (Ohio, Pennsylvania) is some of the best farmland in America but many people settled here and they wound up building cities on it, so.. Hind sights 20/20 we should be farming over here and planting cities on the rocky less fertile land out there! Progress makes no sense but that's what we have to deal with!

That’s like making marks in sand with a stick. No real strain on those tractors. It’s when you are ploughing lay ground with a nice bit of clay in it that the tractor starts to earn its corn. Pun intended. Good luck to you and yours.

Yes certainly the old 1066 looks a lot better with that breather cut down ❤

We use our 1066s we have used 4 and 5 bottoms definitely could pull a six bottom if I had duels like you

We started doing more mold board plowing again we have done sone no till not as happy with it as plowing the growth

My dad did it 1066 and a 6 bottom plow for many years

The farmer around me that no till are the ones that have crop insurance claims every year, coincidence , I don't think so.

Don't worry about it, you cant kill those tractors.

When I farmed we started out plowing with a Massey Ferguson 1105 it was rated at105 hp I think it might have been turned up a little but we pulled a5x16" plow on it everyone told us it was to much. For it but it did it. As we went on in farming we never changed plows but we did get a bigger tractor and I think that first tractor we had pulled it better than the bigger one don't know why it just did a better job. We had black dirt where we farmed in central Indiana.Everyone told us that mold board plowing was a terrible way to farm that land it was all going to blow away on that flat land but we raised better crops than the no till farmers and the ground is still there black as ever

That thing works amazing

What did you spray on your oats last year to kill the weeds?

You aint gonna hurt that 1066, thats what that tractor was made for, if it cant pull it would just spin wont hurt it.

Growing up we plowed everything. We did not have free stalls for the milk cows, everything had bedding pack. So we had a lot of trash to turn under.

Paul running the 1256? 11 bottoms sure can cover a lot of ground quick.

That little John Deere is kicking butt man that’s cool

Great video as always.

Only issue I see is that tractor is the wrong color. ; )

Awesome video! Do what ever is best for your family! I hope you and your family have a great time together! I live in NC and farmers here still turn over their soil. My parents planted several acres of land in a large garden and several acres of sweet corn. We sold fresh produce to neighbors and a several flea markets. We always had the land turned over in the fall after having manure spread over the land. Thanks for sharing your farm and your family with us! ❤ Take care…❤❤❤❤❤

Enjoyed your video. Yes I enjoy plowing is one of my favorite things. Open station love the smell. Your ground looks very good awesome. Nice work have a great day .

If you want to smell something good. Stand in the middle of a freshly plowed field. It give coffee brewing and bacon frying a run for the money.

The markers do just that make a mark yo go by on the next pass. You can set them to suit you and your equipment . Every farmer has his own way to raise their crops.

I do believe Jordan has the lead on this one.

Do what works for you. The ground is plowing up nice. By the way I am probably considered part of the No-Till mafia This is my 30th year of continuous No-Till. Would never go back. God Bless.

We’ve pulled a 5x16 with an 886 turned up to about 100hp for the whole life of the tractor and the plow as they were bought brand new together back in 1977. Hay ground about 5.5 miles and hr, corn ground about 6.5 mph. I couldn’t care less what others say, it’s been doing it for 47 years and we’re in the middle of plowing this year just like always.

❤😊 would❤ to be there❤TOO❤😊

I always enjoy your videos alan. You know what it takes for your land to produce and you do great. Big red looked mighty fine out there as well. We always mold board plowed and it worked just fine.

You do what works for your operation

If you raise a crop that pays the bills that's all that matters if you make some money every year than that is great to just keep doing what is best for you

Great video keep in the DirT

Many many years ago when I was a teenager the one dairy farm I worked on had a 1066 Turbo and it pulled a 6 bottom plow with no problem! I agree with you I just loved moldboard plowing back in the day! Great video! 👍😎

Beautiful soil, like your pvc, GPS. Thanks for sharing, always enjoy your videos.

Plowing makes a good operator for all other dirt turning tools.!

Hi Alan great video you do not need expensive shiny machinery full of unreliable Hi Tec gizmos you do a great with what you have . I farmed for over60 years till i retired 6 year ago on some of the heaviest wettest clay soils you could find here in England which was all drained and needed subsoiling most years weather permitting . I used both plough and min till and they both worked well no 2 years are alike and used mostly second hand tractors and machinery which i used to adapt to do a better job . I think there are 3 key things in farming know your land no 1. maintenance no2 . and get stuck in when the weather is right' We have had one of the wettest 12 months in living memory in England and the one thing i have noticed where crops have been put in with the plough and early they have faired a lot better than the fancy No Till Drilled fields there is need for all methods not just one .Keep doing what you know best .

So u started with 1256

1066 about 135 horsepower if not little more

Do your own thing glad you shared bless you
