One Way 2022

This is a video of antique tractors pulling one way disc plows to work a quarter of wheat stubble.

[@kevindavis7822]

Awesome, you are doing a good job, sir. Thank you for sharing this. This made my day this is awesome. I love it.

[@real_cool_stuff]

Gotta love those old one-ways, and of course the tractors pulling them!

[@troybell453]

I love seeing the old John Deeres working in the fields in 2022

[@brentreid7031]

I remember seeding in the 60s and 70s with one ways. Got a good kill on weeds and seeding at same time. Thank for your your time.

[@watsonboggs318]

Well, I always thought that would good for wheat. One pass.

[@b.t.3780]

That is amazing to pull 5 at once. I can remember pulling 1 with a John Deere 820, then 2 with a 7020, but never 5.

[@lawrencekiel-sr2772]

Nice video, I've never seen these disc plows this large and in gangs hitched together, they do a good job breaking ground and stubble loose. And the older tractors still going strong he must be vigilant it maintaining all the equipment. God bless him.

Those old two cylinders were one of the best tractors ever built. Before that it was the old Rumley oil pull along with Hart Par and a few others life the odd oil pull engines. I grew up on an old "D" that used to be my grandfather's a " H" & a "A" my father bought in pieces that we put together. The " A " came with bad piston & cylinder. I talked him into buying a cylinder bored 90 over with high compression pistons. That thing was never short on power.

[@interman7715]

We had an IHC super wd9 man that could pull.

[@stevenowen4150]

Theres still a few die hard one way ploughers here in Aus. We use a Chamberlain plough, a 24 disc job that can be opened up to around 18 feet and a 14 disc that takes about a nine foot cut. If set properly they take very little power to pull, but get it a little wrong and it makes a huge difference . They have a lot of different settings that all change when you open them up wider or narrow them for different soils or conditions. Back in the 70s it wasnt uncommon for triple 24s or twin 28 disc one way ploughs to be pulled around. Nowadays they are almost frowned apon.🤷🏻‍♂️. Iv never seen five of those beasts pulled around though, awesome video mate.👍🏻👍🏻

Here in Oamaru New Zealand I have a 5 disc Australian made Napier. Are you familiar?.

[@derrickzenner9300]

Awesome tractor and I like the setup. Nice score on the 1086.

[@denniskalivoda]

Couldn’t believe my eyes, 5 one ways. I had enough trouble with one and a 1941 M Farmall in Kansas.

[@npalen]

Brings back memories of growing up on the farm in NC Kansas back in the fifties. I spent many hours pulling what I think was a Krause oneway disc. We called it "the kralice" but I'm thinking that was just a mispronunciation of Krause. Every once in a while the tail end of the oneway would take off in hard ground and just about pass up the tractor.

[@jailbreakgamin1966]

the way that wind is blowing he will be lucky to have any dirt left to plant in ..lol

[@homerlink8791]

I loved seeing these one ways at work! Lots of fond memories and many days pulling two. Quarter after quarter. You could get a gang of two down the road so that was the usual configuration. But one guy I worked for had 4 sections of land all together in a bunch. He would plow them with with a gang permanently tied of 4 or 5 15 footers. Pulled it with 1940’s model D6 Cat. That rig would just do those sections. That was one hot and dirty booger! The dust just boiled off those tracks. A moistened kerchief needed to be worn over your nose and mouth. You didn’t drive it so much as herd it around the field. I think he used that set up through the late 80’s. Nothing smelled better than a freshly plowed field when you were done onewaying.

[@ronaldanderson9274]

I have a Krause oneway I use on terraces. A real learning curve to set one.

[@anthonymeyer43]

Common sight in Eastern Colorado western Kansas in late sixties and seventies summer following. We used chisel plow with 12" sweeps too

[@leighcowley9869]

I spent my summers summer fallowing what we called a Wheatland plow. One way disc. No hydraulics. Big long handles that I couldn’t adjust. Once it was down that’s where it stayed. I think ours was ten feet wide. I would go around and around in circles all day long all summer long.

[@handheldgarage3297]

Those 2 cyl's definetley sound much better than the 1086!!! I love hearing more that one running off synch just a little. The 730 had little traction slippage but the 80 didn't.

[@208SledHead]

Cool video man!

[@davidkimmel4216]

2 cylinder sounds great

[@wayneclermont1950]

Why all the erosion-inducing, soil drying tillage? Why not just plant or seed right in the stubble from last season and reduce erosion, save moisture, save fuel, save on tillage equipment, tractor hours, man hours and at the same time, increase the health of soil with more residue on the surface and in the growing layer? Tillage is so 1950s.

[@nellsonstout7001]

I thought I saw some cornstalks in the wheat stubble so I’d say it was no till for some time. This was basically like a plow day I’d say

[@robmiller2919]

I'd love to buy a couple of these , I'm in Ohio and always thought these looked like a good implement for certain purposes, we have a farm around Russel Kansas , I've got to try and get a couple of these located to bring home and play with.

[@joescheller6680]

I had one Oklahoma farmer came to South Dakota. Helped him often farming and he would plow the fields like that round and round first time the go to middle and go around backwards the second trip never seen anyone do that but didn't have a furrow in the middle after three trips if summer fallowing

[@kevindavis7822]

Love to see those old tractors working my favorite a 30 John Deere how deep are they cutting

[@davidtholen4761]

There is nothing wrong with a one-way! They still have there place on the farm. Also certain areas of this country is not suited for 100% no till. Especially in areas that don’t see rain for month at a time and with out moisture to activate most of the chemicals it’s a big waste of money also.

[@kevindavis7822]

I believe you want that international 1086

[@thomassvoboda4747]

Wow! Thought one-ways were a thing of the past. Ground must not be hard there, down here the first one-way would get ripped apart.

[@duanebryant709]

Want about a video of him turning got to turn sometime

[@miniaturefarmer464]

I thought all the disc tillers had been scrapped by now.

[@Traktor_Ngawi]

kerja bagus teman 👍 salam sukses selalu 🤝

[@bill45colt]

looks like we are only cutting about 3 inches deep

[@gjn71]

be nice if you could tell how many disc plow, they using.

[@glennspreeman1634]

Too bad those blocks were so hard to cast without pinholes, etc. They were quite the powerhouses!

[@NorthEastSaskFarmer]

With it being so dry and there being so little straw left from the previous crop, why would he disc it ?

[@sallygerard8962]

We run the one ways the first time through and then use the disc to ready the ground for drilling.

[@joescheller6680]

They were an awsome tool in their time but overuse lead to dust bowls as did the disk leaving no cover on top bad wind erosio

[@miniaturefarmer464]

They created a hard slick under the top soil.

[@terryanderson4366]

Am doubtful that hitch on lead disk plow can last very long with that much drag. We used one ways for years on small acreage making left 90 degree turns going in rectangular pattern. Even with some what rocky soil, plowing was beautiful. Plowing out the turn corners were a rough ride. Never used mold board plow but can guess they were higher maintained. We never had to replace bearings like is common on tandom disks and offset plows. One ways worked great throwing dirt back up on terraces. Getting wind blown dust in open cab tractor is not pleasant and usually not avoidable because of pattern of path. This is one reason tandom disk are more common being that they can go with the wind so driver and tractor can stay out of the dust. Listing also called bedding created hills or rows. Flat plowing created so much blowing dust that Kansas and other mid country states lost a great amount of top soil creating significant crop income loss. Bedding gave hills about 36 ranging to 42 inches apart to creat wing breaks similar to rapids in a river. Only the tops of the hills could be blown. Also the hill gave depth in lower area of hill conserving moisture.

[@sallygerard8962]

Terry, only the front one way is attached to the tongue, the others are held to the tractor with cables and a heavy clevis. He has the system figured out well.

[@terryanderson4366]

@@sallygerard8962 ok. Can not see cables. Obviously can only go straight, no curved boundaries.

[@royl9858]

@@sallygerard8962 I would like to see a close up of the cable system! Good video!

[@trucktirebuster5622]

How do u get that down the when u move?

[@sallygerard8962]

If you're pulling just one, it's no problem on dirt roads. For the double hitch or more, the front one stays as it and the others move easily into road position and trail along in single file.

[@michaelhelmowski4499]

Canada?? How many feet??

[@ronnienovak3752]

I’m betting it’s north central South Dakota. In the late 90’s I saw a Big Bud pulling several one ways.

[@user-hn7my8ow4s]

I am looking for a good, useable 16' to 20' one-way. Does anyone have one for sale?

[@paularthurwebb7212]

how did the dust bowl get started??

[@lynwessel2471]

Moldboard plowing. These machines' design were the early attempts at shallow tillage and leaving part of the crop residue on top before the transition to hoe drills and no till disc drills.

[@leinie6683]

ifhes cutting 80 feet at 4 mph , thats about 38 acres per hour

[@stevenleahy5941]

With the price of fuel, rising input costs and no til planting/drilling tech why in the heck do you disk arid land , dry it out even more and expose it to wind erosion?

[@sallygerard8962]

The dust was flying, yes, but there was far too much stubble for no till. Our wheat drill wouldn’t work in that much stubble. At that point, there was good moisture in the subsoil.

[@The-Real-America]

It's a way to get around buying an expensive no till drill that is junk in a few years .

[@ashleyflint3501]

Look at the dust, why wonder no till farming was brought about, however the new greenie wants us to go back that way and not use any artificial fertiliser to grow the crops to feed the people, Hey ?

[@dennisvestby4432]

❤️❤️❤️❤️😂⚡️🇨🇦

[@oransmith6009]

It would take longer to set this up when you could do the job with one or two oneways. To me this is a jpke

[@sallygerard8962]

Oran, it actually comes together very fast. And it makes for less rounds. :)

[@tealpaddles8664]

Look at the loss of soil fines. Just sayin, not impressive
