Ford 2000 Tractor Pulling A Spring Tooth Tiller

[@BillTheTractorMan]

That front portion that was cut off was for a coulter. Not entirely sure why some of these had them but most guys cut them off when the bearings went out or it got in the way of the draw bar on some tractors. Someone has modified that 3pt hitche also which is strange but guys do all sorts of things.

[@Jtwes]

Hey Bill Thanks for watching.

[@Jtwes]

I just seen you had a KZbin channel. That Fordson is one off my favorites. That was my Dads first tractor.

[@BillTheTractorMan]

@Jtwes thank you! Yes, I really like it. It's a good tractor. Very economical to use and enjoyable.

[@Haggie-Farms.74]

Thank you for sharing God's word! Enjoyed the video.

[@Jtwes]

The least I can do is try to share some of the Gospel. Glad you enjoyed God Bless

[@Paulford369]

Roger, the man of many talents! You go Roger!

[@Jtwes]

Yes indeed.

[@bobe.5189]

Amen

[@saltwaterinmyveins]

I have a completely worn out 1968 3000 diesel. I was in kindergarten when we got it. Absolutely perfect!

[@Jtwes]

Those Childhood tractors are always the best ones. Im glad you still have yours.

[@milcollector111]

Nice old ford, hard to beat them. That’s why most of them are still out there working instead of at tractor shows.

[@Jtwes]

Agree with that.👍

[@phillipthompson5235]

Hey Joey. Thanks for reminding me of that verse of the video. That hit me like a ton of bricks. Been having a few problems here lately . Thanks again. You never know when something that little is going to touch someone in a big way. God Bless You Buddy.

[@Jtwes]

You are more than welcome. I have had to draw strength from that verse my self at times. Pray that your problems get worked out.

[@albertbell2561]

When you mentioned holding the plow bolts with your fingers it brought back bad memories. I rebuilt a Dearborn two bottom plow over the winter. I did that very thing. In a heartbeat the pad on the end of my finger was gone. Like you I used an angle grinder to cut the remaining bolts off. Good looking old Ford. I spent many, many horns in the seat of a 5k in my early teens. Love the videos. ❤

[@Jtwes]

Roger cut his finger real bad one time.

[@scottbehr5690]

I'm partial to fords!...We've got a '39 9N and a '58 601 workmaster! Been lookin real hard at getting a 140.

[@Jtwes]

I liked the Work Master tractors.

[@bobbyscott8024]

Hey Joey, you're gonna have to have Roger on more often! Tell him your fans love him! Grew up around a lot of those tractors here in Randolph/Moore Co. in the '60's & '70's!

[@Jtwes]

Oh I’m sure he will be. Thanks Bobby

[@patrickcreath217]

Up here in the southern piedmont region of Virginia, that implement is called a jitterbug. Back in the 70s, I grew up on a tobacco and beef cattle farm, and milked two cows for our large family. I've still got that 861 and use it for bushhogging and plowing, disking. Great tractor. I enjoyed your video.

[@Jtwes]

Thank You Patrick. God Bless

[@paulbrooks2024]

Thanks next to being right there with yall

[@nathanalmond8280]

Thanks for sharing the video Joey. Nice old 2000. We always called them a scafier growing up. They work pretty good. I'd like to have one with a fast hitch. Working on the farm years ago we had an 8000 and a Buddy of mine had one too. I ran them a lot. Good old tractors pulled good and easy on fuel for their size. They did good till you put them on a round baler as they were early and didn't have enough hydraulic pump for that. They worked but too slow on the end gate. So we baled with the other tractors. But tillage it was good. You have a great trip if I don't talk to you.

[@Jtwes]

Wish you still had it. I’d be up there doing some riding. Lol

[@jackgraham3393]

Good video , hard working crew! Out here in our country, that would be called a. "C C cultivator". Hope the rest of the week turns out well for you. Winter is returning for us this week, as it is to folks up north of you.

[@Jtwes]

Hey Jack I’ve almost given up on snow.

[@johnnyedgerton9936]

Those 2955's are nice tractors. They were perfect for plowing tobacco and sweetpotatoes.

[@Jtwes]

Rogers Dad really put a lot of seat time on it. Probably the most of all that drove it.

[@kylewatkins3946]

Always good videos Joey! I love Ford trucks and tractors. Down here in Georgia we call that a chisel plow!

[@Jtwes]

Thanks Kyle. I always call mine that too. Lol

[@natevanlandingham1945]

I went out and cut in the garden behind the house this weekend before the rain. I didn't get into it earlier in the fall cause I was either busy and needed to take down the tomato fence and cages and stuff then it got too wet. Wanted to cut all the stuff just once and get it into good contact with the ground to start rotting down more.

[@jaybeeman3628]

Me and the wife where down y’all’s neck of the woods. Picked up some stuff at birch store. Loved the country ride. Need to get caught up on your videos. Keep up the good work

[@Jtwes]

Thanks Jay. Everybody’s seem to have enjoyed the shop videos.

[@aaronvincent7558]

I really enjoy your videos and the videos of the 140s we use to have one we played tobacco with it and used it to side dress with to

[@Jtwes]

Thank you. Tobacco was probably 80% of who bought those Farmalls .

[@gwaynel8363]

Enjoyed the video. All the best from Greensboro NC.

[@Jtwes]

Thank You Gurrney.

[@harveyrousejr.2069]

We call that a spring tooth chisel plow. At one time my dad had a Ford 3000, 4000. 5000. and a 7000. These were all diesel engines. Later he had 3- Ford 3600's a 6600 and a 7600. We grew allot of flue cured tobacco in Jones County NC.

[@Jtwes]

Hey Jones County. I’ve been through there.

[@jvin248]

I have a Ferguson 35 that is the same size/features. Those cultivator shoes bumped up a lot in price when I put new ones on a year ago. Hint for you since you are trying Winter Rye Grain as a cover crop: use the cultivator set to scratch in the corn rows in the standing rye then follow up with a conventional shoe type corn planter. It's "almost" notill that way. Then when the corn emerges you roll the rye flat (either roller-crimper along once or a cultipacker/lawn roller down and back to mash down any that try standing up from the first pass). I have searched around for a no-till drill and haven't found any cheap enough to replace the strip-till+shoe-planter. The standing rye brings up moisture from below, catches nightly dew, and blocks weed seeds germinating because many of them need direct sunlight.

[@Jtwes]

I like a Ferguson 35. I’m not set up for handling rye just yet. Maybe one day I’m sure it helps in dry years also.

[@harveyrousejr.2069]

I see the old Transplant Systems greenhouse in the back ground.

[@eugenemartin5918]

Nice video as always.

[@Jtwes]

Thank You Eugene.

[@jerryhill681]

Those were sold by both Ford and Ferguson in 3 pt model as chisel plows. Nice video.

[@Jtwes]

Thanks Jerry

[@MrHawkjo]

I have the exact same tiller/chisle plow for my 140 and indeed with 7 tines pulls hard in tight ground.

[@Jtwes]

I had one for a sort bit but traded it off for something else. Didn’t need 2 of them.

[@stehlfamilyfarm6886]

I have a Ford 2000 diesel. They are hard to find videos on

[@Railfan90]

Is that the same Ford that was at the first plow day? Sounds quieter 😂

[@Jtwes]

Yes but it’s a lot louder. Straight pipe.

[@Railfan90]

@@Jtwes must have had my volume turned down then 🤣

[@Dave-fo1cb]

Some new tires and some added weight to the rear end that tractor would plow great. The engine wasn’t stallling it was just losing traction. They are great tractors. I have ford 3000 1966 model it keeps going every year.

[@Jtwes]

I told Roger we need to put water in them with some new ones.

[@christinamoneyhan5688]

I don’t think he had the draft control set to the desired depth or he would not have had to fiddle with the up and down control.

[@OldRedTractors]

I'd like to find one for my tractor. I like the way they turn dirt

[@Jtwes]

Maybe you can find one like mine but with 2 prong. I’ll keep my eye out.

[@OldRedTractors]

@@Jtwes I hope so

[@j.r.shotwell3799]

Was that the John Deere you were bushog going with in ur earlier videos?

[@Jtwes]

Good memory. No that was a fellow neighbor down the road . Roger was servicing it for him. It was a 3055

[@markmoore8616]

I have a 8600

[@Jtwes]

Jealous. Lol 8600 has that same look as the 8000 I like. I’ve always loved that tractor. All goes back to my favorite toy tractor which was a 8000.

[@bobbyscott8024]

Hey Joey, still have mine from the Ford Dealership in Liberty from the early '70's.!@@Jtwes
