Chisel Plowing | Added Suitcase Weights

Chisel Plowing | Added Suitcase Weights. Do front weights on a tractor help you plow better? How much front weight does a tractor need to chisel plow effectively? #farmallfanatic #farmall #farming

[@bwx2121]

I got quite a controversial statement that most arnt going to like. No antique tractors or trucks are “better” than the others. It really depends on who you are and what you need. You can prefer an ih, I’m a Deere guy because that is what I prefer, but ain’t nothin wrong with Oliver allis or ih. For someone to just go out and say “oh Deere is better than ih” they’ve probably never owned an ih in their life or operated one. Now some do have their perks, like ih torque amplifiers or fords without live hydrolics or an overrun pto. I like deeres because they are very simple with the two cylinder and they are easy to get attatchments for considering they never had specialty ones like farmall or allis. Not that I wouldn’t love a nice farmall M but I would prefer a Deere A more just because that’s what I think is cool. Just because I like one brand doesn’t mean I don’t like the others. Same goes for trucks. If you are looking for a cheap durable work truck dodge is what you need. If you need something to pull a trailer with that is good on fuel, go get yourself a ford. Now with modern tractors that’s a whole nother story because some are better than others. Tell ya right now kinze makes a better planter than Deere. I love the channel. I hope you never stop making videos. Have a good day. 💥

Kind of reminds me of my dad. For years he farmed with F-20 and B Farmall. Out of nowhere a M Farmall showed up. Giant leap forward. A few years go by and F-20 was gone. Replaced by C Farmall. Giant leap forward again. Super M showed up. Wow, 3 tractors. 450 showed up. First M was gone. Able to do field work in hours instead of days. Mostly what I see in your recent purchases is just how amazed you see what more power can do for you. Just like my dad. Getting advice from so many people can be good or bad. Depends all on what works and what works for you. I enjoy your videos. Most of all I enjoy how you set up your equipment for your use. Thanks

We always chisel plowed at a angle and then deep disked at a slightly different angle. That's what breaks up the big clodes and then likely disk the direction of planting for a great seadbed.

[@d6joe]

If you really want to turn some dirt with the chisel, put some 3” twisted shovels on. But it will pull harder. A mounted spike tooth harrow would really smooth it out.

[@JasonSmith-vd1sz]

Boy, I tell you what, that tractor is just walking the dog!🔥🔥🔥

[@AldenHayFarmer]

When we chisel plowed at the dairy farm we went on a slight angle compared to how it would be planted then disked the opposite angle. But sod would either get chiseled twice or disked twice.

[@MikeJensen-wo7oh]

The only way to know for sure if a tractor will pull something or not, hook 'em together and go to the field!

Absolutely

[@markstokes6075]

826 sounding good ,nice chisel plow ,mine is 3 point it works great ,draft control work really well on my set-up for depth control ,you got yours set-up well ,forsure disking after first ripping will take out the bounce on the plow ,great video and the front weights and hubs look good bud .

[@FarmallFanatic]

Thanks man tonight's video I definitely have her dialed in

[@user-qp4vq6le4s]

We used a similar chisel plow. Works great when you get it deep in the ground. Loosens up all the compacted ground and loosens it up for the disc. You're gonna like the results better than a plow probably. Helps with those wet spots in the fields of PA.

[@donwills3771]

I really enjoy your videos, Im originally from Mercer county,PA and grew up on a small dairy farm. Hearing those Farmall tractors take me back in time, First tractor I drove was a 606 , We had a H but didn't use it for much, running the blower filling silo or cultivator duty and had a blade for snow on the front. Last tractor I was operating was a Hydro 70 that was a great tractor in my opinion. Take care and thank you for letting me hear those Farmall tractors

The biggest IH tractor we had was an early 706 diesel with the lesser diesel engine and clamshell fenders, narrow front and quick hitch. We did have the 3pt conversion parts. It was a good tractor for us in Sandy central Wisconsin. Pulled 4-16 semi mounted plow easily. We baked hay a lot with it as well. Never had any problems with the engine. The parking brake pawl gave way while the tractor was moving and took out a bunch of gears. To me, that’s just a stupid parking brake design . Let’s set the parking brake by jambing some iron in the transmission gears. Overall it though it was a good tractor for us

We used the chisel to stir the top 5 or 6 inches. This would mix the grain stubble in so we could plow down a blended soil profile instead of plowing down a mat layer of organic matter. A 3pt 55 chisel plow 11 shanks, 966 in what we called 5th gear, hi range 1st TA forward. No suitcase weights 18.4-R38 duals, no rear weights. Pulled great for years.

I watched this video 1 more time and noticed that the chisel plow is not really that deep as the tires are caring it all the time. The wheels should only be used so it can not go to deep but not to carry it through the fields.

[@oliviahentges2890]

I like all your videos and watch alot of them but am sure I missed some. I always wonder why you seem to use the 756 very seldom. Is it a gas hog or just not a tractor you care for much? I had a 656 diesel years ago and loved it but traded it for a new tractor and have always wished I had kept it. It was comfortable, easy to operate, super easy on fuel, and a real powerhouse. So am just curious why you don't use your 756 much?

[@tyfrank3427]

Here we call them deep tillage cultivators. We always pull harrows behind them and it helps a lot with smooth. We don't dare disc in our clay ground that much otherwise it's too fine and becomes concrete. Now your Farmall M (Not Super MTA) will not only pull 7 shanks but will pull them deeper than you think it will. The Super MTA will of course handle it better, but the M will do it. We don't use the suitcase weights at all here. The primary purpose of suitcase weights is to counterbalance mounted implements. For drawbar work, they're seldom necessary.

[@FarmallFanatic]

Well they sure made a difference here

[@user-gg4rz4vo6w]

Here in eastern washington we chisel in the fall to. Break up the hard pan. Then in sping disk then cultivator with harrows behind the cultivator.

[@FarmallFanatic]

That's what you're supposed to do... But I can't do that because I have deer food plots

[@j.sfarms2894]

It seems like all the IH diesels drink a little oil even if they dont leak it. Spring and fall when the 856 racks up 15-20 hours a week I usually have to add a couple quarts a week. 560 is the same way in the summer with hay.

[@FarmallFanatic]

I could write a dissertation on that

[@glenntimm4874]

That's the way to learn. Is by doing. I learned to disk or run a digger lightly

[@FarmallFanatic]

That's the way I see it

[@mmielcarek3046]

The object is to work the ground as little as possible. Less expense per acre the more profit from the crop. Also the more you drive over the ground the more compaction you have. Duels will let you work ground a bit more wet but it does spread out the compaction. It's just me but I would have brought out the disc after the chisel. The more you chisel the lumpy it becomes. Still I believe your going down a foot where you used to plow 6 to 8 inches so you are breaking up dirt so the rain can drain the the roots can go down in the ground. From the video I didn't notice any wheel slippage. You need a bigger plow or you need to put something else behind the plow.

[@FarmallFanatic]

Not my objective

[@tomglidden7938]

Best way to learn is to just do it and see. Looks good though

[@FarmallFanatic]

For sure

Field cultivator with harrow then plant.

Plow then disk and it would be ready to plant or seed. These weeds will be back growing at the end of the 1st week.

[@nielsdybro9759]

With all the green growing on that land, you might have saved yourself some time hitting it with the moldboard plow first. Then just a single trip with the disk would likely be all you would have needed before pulling in with the planter.

[@FarmallFanatic]

Well that's what's normally done here but i'm trying something different. I just bought this 826 and chisel plow.. so i'm definitely going to play with it

[@rodneybalog4605]

You should be pulling some harrows be hide it or tine mount harrows on the cultivator after if you cultivate go to wide sweep shovels .When we go over fields spike it deep with wide spikesthen disc it then after or all summer wide shoels on cult with tine harros mounted on cult all summer we all ways have harrows on cult even spiking does a nice job saves the kiddneys on the second trip but if you spike first then dic its smooth after that on our disc we pull it deepas we can we have tine harrow s on the disc as well and pull a set of coil type packers behinde the disc does a wouderfull job
