Most people that to comment on what you are doing wrong problem haven't ever set there but on a tractor, much less plowed or know how to set plows to the tractor. Worked on a farm since I was 14, 60 years old now. Keep turning and burning, your way not there's

I had to chuckle about the plowing sand comment, that’s all we have on our farm too, with the right amount of rain and fertilizer you can grow pretty much anything! I’m right there with ya

[@FarmallFanatic]

Yeah, this Is all river bottom ..awesome ground

[@arlodewald5378]

Plowing prairie field has the most amazing smell that most people will find it hard to comprehend . It's one step above cutting alfalfa and clover with a sickle bar mower on sunny morning . Two of the best smells of farming . Only one smell I miss more is a rain after thunder and lightning storm on a warm sunny summer afternoon . When you can open the window and fall asleep with smell filling the room at night ! Never slept so great !

[@FarmallFanatic]

Yeah, this clover had that strong clover smell...awesome 🍀

Love those C's. That fast hitch plow looks great and makes me wish I had one. My no. 8 does a smokin' job but fast hitch just looks really clean. Kills me on how the C and the H are similar in tillage capacity. Great video and some of those haters are just going to hate. Thanks for sharing your fleet with us 'want to be farmers'. 👍🤛

Patch the racoon. Neighbor to the south farmed 120 acres plus 25 acres rented hay with a Super C, and a F 12

[@davidkeville9282]

I can’t wait to see you use that rollover plow that should work great to do headlands

[@cheesebigcheese1]

I was raised with a 400 farmall and I have a 200, both with the fast hitch, if you take out the pin at the top of the lift rod before plowing then your plowing will be floating, that will help you keep the plowing level, another tip that they designed is to move the pins at the point where the two points are inserted will allow the attachments to move side

[@FarmallFanatic]

When I disk and plow I pull that pin out

[@erikhinds-cy9cx]

Nice. Spring makes for some good videos. Thanks

[@tomhall7250]

That does a nice job!

[@larrymcever4601]

OK, I operated one of these back in the day. Because of erosion issues our ends we could not leave any headlands (we didn't even know what that was). We left a strip about tractor length on each end up against fences, woods, or lowlands. With two row equipment it worked ok. When we moved up to 4 row and others began to do 6 and 8 rows the narrow turn area did not work so well especially when the ends included point rows. We still had the erosion issues, so we stopped row cropping to keep gullies from washing on all steep ends. Between me and my dad, mostly my dad, we whore completely through the wings on original Plow Chief bottoms. He replaced the bottoms with Super Chief and maybe used the plow for one more year before it found its place in the fence row. I rescued it a few years back and use it now and again.

[@FarmallFanatic]

There's no doubt they were very well built... Put new stuff on a fence row and leave it there for fifty years...unusable

[@andyadelmann3158]

We pulled a 3/16’s Oliver plow with our 400. That was no problem , don’t listen to the no it alls in the comments ( there is always a few ) the super C and 400 are beasts , great tractors still today ! Boom 🇺🇸

Excellent video Geno :) also lots things learned on Farm back things have changed too recently when did with dad also uncle! Also was talk to my neighborhood neighbor farmer one I restoration on his 1945 Farmall H basic model he told got it this year and only doing 660 acres now ! He said cut back acres on cash crop because hearings not to good and eyes too ! Plus want do with famillies more to and he 68 years old also found a mint Farmall H tractor only thing the Generator going to a GM Delco Alternator soon want me do for too ! He told tractor found on Internet it was never starting after 1980 and got for steal $1500.00 he said stored inside too got all new tires too! I seen it and he did super well next month I serivce up!

I agree with you fanatic!! As long as you get from point A to point B that's all that matters. You might like to drive an extra 2 miles for the view for all I know. It's what works for you and if it doesn't you change it. You only have to please you not everyone else. If you start in the center and go round and round you would never have to lift your plow and save on wear and tear on the hydraulics. 😅😅😅😅 good day to ya!!

[@jvin248]

I'd mix buckwheat in your clover plan allowing it to reseed then the mid-September before spring planting corn go through and drill in winter rye ... then you'll get NPK in there. Plus weed (rye) and insecticide (buckwheat beneficial insects) control. Experiment with strips. I use 2-3bu/ac rye.

[@FarmallFanatic]

That sounds like a good program

[@duncand5148]

Awesome!! Definitely my kind of video. 👍🏽 Kudos to the clover for a year. I mostly use crimson clover and winter rye mix for soil building, but I have land in Landino clover no less than two years and wow!!! The difference growing the clover over a year or two versus annual crimson clover is definitely noticeable. Perennial clover has time to pump extra nitrogen into the soil and keep it “in place” and “ intact”. 👍🏽 In my predecessor’s pre-soybean day, biennial sweet clover was used on all fallow ground before corn. Primarily for its nitrogen fixing, but it’s long taproot “mines” the soil and brings up nutrients and minerals to the surface. That soil building skill is almost lost. Today Leaving land fallow equates to loss of income. I beg to differ. If you can and your livelihood permits, leaving ground fallow for a year has huge benefits. I’m all about soil building first and crop second.

[@FarmallFanatic]

I totally agree

It's not out of the question

[@mmielcarek3046]

Trying to figure out the spring on the plow. Does it just give you about 3 to 4 inches of give to hope the plow points jump free of the rock? I'm guessing that might be a reason the hitch is bent on the 4 bottom plow is that it hit something big and the hitch was sloppy enough that one prong came out and it got bent?

That's exactly what the spring does
