BIG TRACTORS PLOWING in Illinois

[@henrysimiyu-hp6ls]

Wonderful machine and equipments be blessed you're inspired.Glory to God.

[@stevenphare5455]

Back in the late sixties, at 13,I was in the seat of a John deere 4020 with 5-16's. Plowed all day and into the dark. Best times of my life! Morris Illinois. Thanks

Plowing is always so satisfying, when you look back you can really see what you did.

It depends on the mess you're making.

One of my favourite jobs was ploughing. First with a Fiat 411R and 3 furrow International reversible disc plough and latter on with a MF168. Latter on we went to a 5 furrow Hodge reversible behind a MF 188, 1085, 2040 and a 4wd Ford 8210. My Dad always took great pride in straight forrows. If you couldn't shoot a bullet down the length of the furrow it wasn't good enough. So I prided myself in making straight furrows. We ploughed in Sugarcane land and at time in sorgum and lucerne fields. We had a lot of melon hole country and the reversible plow was excellent for opening up new country. It would leave the field almost level after a couple of ploughings. Melon hole soils were fairly shallow and ploughing enabled us to break into the clay a couple of inches every year after a sorgum crop and every few years after a cane crop.

Beautiful black dirt there.

I like to watch a tractor plow a field. It's a fascinating sight. I love the smell of raw plowed land and burnt diesel fuel.

[@robertburt9071]

Me too lol

[@formerfarmer1718]

Nice to see someone who knows how to drive an on-land hitch.

[@sherrysundblad8722]

I think back when I was a kid in the 80s we had a 806 with a 4 bottom a 986 with a 4 bottom and a 1066 with a 5 bottom and some rare days we would have 656 with a 3 bottom. All plowing at max speed of 3 miles per hour. That one Delta tractor and plow gets more done than we all got done all day.

[@fastsetinthewest]

We used an Oliver 1950 Detroit Diesel with front drive assist pulling a 8/16 plow on a Michigan farm near Lennon.

[@randykroells8049]

I remember the bang when the 720 IH reset after hitting a rock.

[@bradhaenitsch1145]

We pulled a 4 bottom with a D-19 and I thought that was it and forger cabs it was a heat houser let me tell ya it was still mighty cold

[@danareynolds1976]

I love seeing plowing videos. I used to molboard every year

[@joelg8004]

Amazes me how people maneuver with these huge implements. Watching thousands of years of knowledge with every pass is just incredible.

[@francomtz7115]

It's actually pretty easy especially with newer equipment, I did it big time from 83s to 2000 +.

[@leefury7]

Most are now GPS, computer guided. "Look ma! No hands."

[@sherrysundblad8722]

A guy has to love plowing. I am amazed there are no seagulls. I farm west of the twin cities in Minnesota and anytime we are doing tillage we have seagulls everywhere.

[@milesboehmer9969]

Thanks, I thought moldboard plowing was totally gone,disabled arm vet from 80’s used to help during high school always fun.

[@andywintz959]

What is it about plowing videos that is so interesting to watch? My dad always plowed his garden to cover up all the grass clippings he out in it all summer. I think that’s why I enjoy these videos.

[@MrPummi88]

Nice to See then plowing! Ground Has to be turned.

[@JT-ee1ii]

If we turned our soil in Alabama that wet, you could build a house with those clods. Excellent video and Beautiful dark soil! Thanks for sharing

[@philhosier9185]

These Case rear tracked,m front wheel tractor are so awesome. If my long dead Uncle Dutch could see these working in the fields, I know he'd just laugh because in his farming world back 50's-60's, these tractors weren't possible ! His big tractor was an I-H F-20.

Mike. I would like. To see them finish the ends!! I stoped farming in 1966. Jd 720 5 bottoms. Excellent!!! Ken

[@theburnhams2925]

Mike, I don't know which was more pleasurable to the ear; the sweet mountain music or those turbocharged large-displacement diesels clawin' an' scratchin' pulling steel through soil.... Excellent video (again).

Moldboard plowing is cool👍😉 seeing different tractor brand at work is very nice😁👍

[@christianlacasse2937]

Versatile nice tractor Canada

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

I grew up on a farm in central Indiana in the 70's and spent many hours doing this. Except I was on a JD 4440 with no cab. It had a white/orange umbrella over the seat and a corroded AM radio on the left fender. I was too short to reach the pedals and my uncle strapped a 30 lb bag of corn to the seat so I could reach! lol Many nights I could see my Aunt coming across the field in a pickup truck to make me come in. No joke, I was a workin' fool even back then. Liked and subbed

[@tony98discovery]

Is the table still alive at that farm now?

Mike, another good video from you and thanks for it. I'd like to see that Versatile pulling a French Gregoire-Besson 18 or 20 bottom rollover plow and it would mean less compaction of the headlands.

Back in the early 80"s here in greenville ohio worked for a big farmer Bill Mcowen , He had a 4786 IH turned up to about 550 hp and we pulled a custom dmi plow 14 bottom 16 inches wide , Was still way to much for it finally blew the transmission after about 120 hours of use .

[@jamesbarbour8400]

What was causing the rear plough behind the Delta Track to bounce up and down form about 1:05 into the video - perhaps there was mud sticking to a portion of the rear support tyre ? If that was an issue, surely a scraper for the tyre would be the answer ?

Farmers would rather poison the dirt and give us GMO crap.

[@deannelson9565]

@@fastsetinthewest no they would rather not have their entire field blow into the next County! I guarantee you that PhD behind your name is a lie because I seen multiple posts by you and every one of them you've proven to be a moron that has literally no idea what you're talking about! Style plowing is one of the absolute most destructive things you can do to your soil. First it tends to blow away but more then anything you kill off all your soil biodiversity by doing this!

How come they don't use reversible plows ?

[@Parents_of_Twins]

What causes the plow to jump up and down? My dad has a small farm however 90% of the grain planting was done either before I was too young to remember, different farm, or after I left home and was married so I'm not that familiar with plowing. We mostly did hogs and stuff like that when I was growing up.

[@danemeyer7340]

Why do modern plows leave such an unclean furrow? Doesn't look like they go in very deep either. Back in the day where we plowed in Michigan, we sucked it down 10-12 inches and it left a perfectly clean furrow.

Hey Mike I love your Video. You said in video they plant non GMO corn. What is GMO corn? What is the difference in the corn?

[@whjerts]

Genetically modified

[@Beyonder8335]

GMO corn means genetically modified, basically the seed companies can take genes from other plants and put it into the corn so that it has different attributes, such as drought tolerance, pest resistance, or just general increased yield. Non-GMO would lack these features but probably has a higher value due to Non-gmo marketing. Hope this helped!
