[@banditfarmer1900]

If I get my beans cut and its still good weather I might be hooking a plow up to the 1850 again and doing some fall tillage and maybe planting some wheat if the weather holds. You got the plow pretty well dialed in I would say and like you I always like to plow in the fall more so than in the spring then hit it with the harrow gadder and packer and come spring its in good shape ready to be worked up and it seams to warm up in the spring faster too . Bandit

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Nothing works nicer than fall moldboarded ground.

[@banditfarmer1900]

@@Oliver66FarmBoy Aint that the truth ! Int the fall after corn if there is time I'll bush hog the stocks and then plow them under and go over it with the harrow gadder and packer and come spring time that ground is always the first ground ready to be worked as its dryer and warmer. You work it and get it planted in beans and they really take off and always do really good. I still think the plow has a place on the farm and will always go back to it as part of a tillage program. Our ground there is only 6 to 8 inches of top soil then you hit clay so deep tillage just doesnt work around here cause clay just doesnt grow anything . But if you stay in that 6 to 8 inch range you will do just fine. Its funny how the soil changes around here and I really got to see how much it changed when I took soil samples for the grain elevator in high school, I sampled a lot of ground in a 15 miles circle of the elevator and boy did the soils change a lot and it makes it a real challenge to farm around here.

@@Oliver66FarmBoy I like that idea as you could pick up an older Great Plains No Till grain drill and experiment with it . I liked it for double crop soybeans into wheat stubble rite behind the combine . This is what our field looks like as a "Minimum till " example .

[@debelibobo]

I'm always fascinated with the type of soil you in the US have... I'm from eastern part of Europe (Croatia if anyone is interested) and I personally have a yellowish, brownish clay type of soil. Not too hard to plow BUT my tractor is 110 engine HP, lets say 90 PTO and i can pull a 3x14" plow, MAYBE 4x12" and that's it... Plowing depth is usually about 25cm (10"). When I see what size of plow with what size of tractor you're pulling it's not making sense to me at all ;) Greetings from Croatia, keep up the good work!

[@geo52041]

You don't need to plow that deep 6 inches max .Just bury the trash

[@debelibobo]

@@geo52041 oooooh, boy... In my country 10" is considered "borderline" many plough 30-35cm deep (conversion is 1"=2.54cm, so do the math) Im talking arable crops. For vegetables, especialy sugar beet 30cm is considered minimum, 40cm preferable. I also see many US farmers plow in the spring. Over hetr that's a "no go". We plough everything before the winter so the soil can accumulate reserve moisture for spring planting season (oats, corn, soybeans). Chisseling in the spring and discing the fertilizer in and then planting corn, seed sprouting (cant remember the right term right now) would be very very slim because the soil would be sahara-dry. Very different farming conditions, that's why I'm fascinated...

Ahhh, memories! I don't remember ever plowing with a dual on. Not out of the realm of possibility. I think if I were to start plowing again, I'd want a rollover plow with auto reset. The old Kverneland we have now is a trip beam. Kind of aggravating in the more stoney field. You ever know anybody who had one of those John Deere 2 way plows (models 975 or 995)? They seem like a sound idea, but I maybe better off with a rollover. Have a good one!

I am curious if one must spray an herbicide before fall plowing or does plowing keep the seeds from germinating next spring? I know the plant itself dies, but the weed seeds don't.
