Plow Day Weekend 2021 - Caterpillar, Allis Chalmers, IH Tractors & Equipment Turn Out & Get It Done!

The 1st annual Squatch253 plow day weekend! We turned a lot of ground and had a ton of fun - let's do it all again next year!

[@vernonrosene7309]

I feel nostalgic for the sense of community and shared purpose which you all engineered this day; friends working together is how it should be...and how it USED to be! Well done.

[@maxnex7676]

And not a auto steer or gps in sight, great lines.

[@terrymumford7659]

What a great day of plowing and disking. Blue skies, green grass, guys on their machines having fun, the sound of engines that are decades old purring like kittens...and a awesome video. Does it get any better?

[@ohboy2118]

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. In the 70's as a kid on the farm there was nothing more I liked more than when we got working parties from the 3 family farms together and just got the work done. Sometimes the good ole days were just that, good!

[@boruff68]

Looks like everyone put in a good day's work. That Super M-TA Diesel is a big money tractor ...Nice footage.

[@ron827]

Always enjoy seeing sod turned upside down so effortlessly and you guys made it look so easy. Nice straight furrows too. I know for sure sophisticated people do not have that much fun. And of all people, the host ran out of gas. :-) After a few more decades pass, you guys will be having coffee at the local hangout and reminiscing about this plow day when Squatch ran out of gas.

[@ThisOldFarm]

What a bunch of fun we had! And actually managed to accomplish something while goofing off, lol! It sure was a joy getting to be a part of this! Thanks again for letting me tag along, and I’ll try to be there for the next one too!!!

[@nigelsears7191]

Great to see you out Conner and clearly having way too much fun

[@larrydavidson3402]

Looked like a lot of fun, good friends getting together having a great day of plowing and enjoying themselves. Best part was the bringing of food to the field. Don't see much of that anymore.

[@dieseltruck5074]

Watching the old equipment cutting and making the perfect rolls is a thing of beauty. Friends coming together to getter dun. Great video.

[@jeffo881]

The machines that built and feed this beautiful country..

[@leecrump4614]

This was fantastic. I love seeing people get together to get a big job done.

[@dougdoug2165]

Very cool...... love between man and machine, and the legacy and history that ties generations together.

[@stumpy2816]

Never get tired of watching dirt being turned over. Very satisfying. Thanks Squatch 👍👍

[@MichaelSmith-dg3kr]

Man, you fellows are laying furrows out three ways. Wide, deep, and continuous. I love it.

[@machinistbytrade]

Great to see buddies helping each other out. In these messed up times its good to know you can still rely on and trust friends and family! Looks like everyone had a good time !

[@glennford8844]

One thing about the plows is that turning the ground over,keeps the moisture longer in the soil coming into summer. This no plowing has got whiskers on it because if you don't, the mouses build their nests and breed in unbroken soil, so, with the rain that we've had, plows are now a premium item. Lovely to watch.

[@dennishayes65]

Squatch, I like the sound of that Allis Chalmers crawler ! It’s a nice beefy tone !

[@paintedblue1791]

You can tell which furrows Bork did they got empty beer cans in them!

[@nigelsears7191]

Fantastic work by a great bunch of good friends all pulling together to have some fun and get a big job done , you really don't realise how big that field is until you put the drone up well done to all

[@alcopower5710]

What a great day…….I especially liked seeing the old AC crawler. 👍

[@stevenm3141]

Just simply amazing to see equipment that's upward a 100 years old still cutting away like it was nothing. I love it all. Makes you feel like America is running smooth as always. You guys got it all! Best toys, for the big boys.

[@dougkubash8673]

A darn good looking group of old iron! Kyle's AC crawler is really nice! I am looking forward to next years plow day!

[@iamrichrocker]

such a good vibe to this episode..guys just doing what they love to do..machines purring a long w/out a hitch..and the music and editing was just superb...and Mrs. Bork and her culinary skills was a great reward to you guys...

[@InquisitiveSearcher]

The 3-bottom hydraulic lift plow you had behind the Super-M did the prettiest job of turning that dirt over. So incredibly smooth and even, which is what I would expect when turning over sod. Really wonderful seeing all that equipment in the same field at the same time.

[@edhoran1709]

A great plowing video!!! Lots of action and lots of views of the plows and the tractors. Can't get much better than that.

[@joeromanak8797]

Well, that was quite the equipment show. You could have plowed all that ground by yourself but it would have made the video about 3 weeks long. I must say that you have beautiful topsoil on your land. You cuss the rocks but most farmers would call that dream soil. Kudos to all the good friends and all the determined old iron that came to help out. You are rich indeed. I enjoyed this video. 😎👀👍🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜

[@steveleach7512]

What a great day. So fun to watch. That older equipment still getting the job done. Thanks for the video.

[@stevenrapp3217]

WOW......What a neat way to spend the day....Good Machines, good company and sounds like good food too!! You lead a blessed life!!!

[@thorsbyguy5121]

Way to go Squatch, you maxed out my Tractor Nerd-O-Meter! 👍 Pretty darn straight furrows, especially for those crawlers.

[@EXARCWithGrandpop]

I wish I was a younger man, and could work and learn with you guys. I always wanted to be a farmer. And watching you and your father work together is just amazing.

[@EXARCWithGrandpop]

@@squatch253 I agree, right now I am teaching myself blacksmithing and Pottery, But Farming is life long commitment. I hold all farmers in high respect.

[@traybarr341]

@@EXARCWithGrandpop nonsense. I'm retiring from fire in a year and 9 months and ranch on the side for now....when I do, then I'll ranch full time. Like is way too short not to try things....

[@ericcorse]

Looked like perfect weather and great turnout.

[@kevinschroeder3889]

Small communities need to have events like this. It brings friends together.

[@cassiuspuckett8789]

Great to see the 350 d out working with Sr. All this old iron showing that its still got what it takes to get the job done. Thanks for sharing....

[@boe4448]

Thanks Squatch, Nice video of some vintage machines doing a nice job on the hay ground. Pretty farm ground/area of this great country. Boe 44

[@raincoast9010]

Great to see all the machines, especially the track units. Good job and so nice that you were all able to get together and help out and get it done.

[@matthewshelley1748]

Cool video. I could watch the dirt turn all day.

[@jerryhammack1318]

Loved seeing the older ones still getting it done! Both bottom plowing improvements and tractors! The cat 4 did not even look like it was (working) ! Great to see and here!

[@tbirdracefan]

When myself or my neighbor runs out of gas, we call it the walk of shame. Seems applicable in your case too.

[@Bullifreund]

What a great idea to turn something that might be alot of annoying and hard work into a big party. 😃 And while having spent lot of my youth on tractors I've never seen anyone laying furrows as smooth and even as you do. My compliments! 👍

[@neilshep50]

Now that looks like a great weekend, all you guys together.

[@josephwarner8349]

Fantastic video! Getting the Super M broke in, running great.

[@KennyKizzleRustyNutzRanch]

Man what a great bunch of machines. Really loved that SMTAD and Allis K! Heck, I loved them all.... There was only one piece missing. Next year!

[@KennyKizzleRustyNutzRanch]

@@squatch253 Oh trust me, I will be there... I will use sick time if I have to! Ha ha! On a side note, I will be attending Rollag's STEAM SCHOOL next June! That should be a BLAST!

[@whathasxgottodowithit3919.]

Thanks for posting, the soil looks really good, and easily workable ( apart from the rocks) I used to love ploughing (Plowing on your side of the pond) here in the U.K. the freshly turned soil in the fall always smells nice.

[@markbehr88]

Fantastic Squatch. Your very own Tractor show. Great friends and cool equipment. It doesn’t get any better than that. Especially with the food on hand as well. Hats off to the lady who made it.

[@Mighty-Quinn]

Always nice to see a plow day! I was just wondering yesterday how big of a plow my D4 would pull, and I guess I got my answer today. That D4 sounds really good by the way.

[@pettyfogger2305]

Super episode, Squatch. I could smell that freshly plowed field like I was back on my uncle's John Deer multi-fuel (big hint: Never forget to switch from gas to kerosene and then run it dry at the far end of the south 40!).

[@erik365365365]

Something awe inspiring about this. Cannot quite put my finger on it though. Just the whole act and community of it, is something else

[@uglysteve1]

Senior was turning it over like water. Very nice.

[@TractorHoarders]

That looked like a fantastic day! I love the smell of fresh turned dirt. Wish I could have joined you fellas!

[@Ckktopa]

Plowing is just mesmerizing…. Love those straight lines💕

[@matthewnelson5472]

I don’t let the kiddos waste precious time on earth with screen time but I do make an exception for a good clean plow video.

[@rickyjessome4359]

Man I could sit and listen to those machines work all day! Great video squatch253

[@DAKOTANSHELBY]

Sitting here watching Senior plow that open field, along with all the others, and I could smell the earthy soil release it's fragrance. Wish I was there to help.

[@patamos7019]

Looked like a fun day out playing in the dirt!

[@nickslistm246]

Man what a great way to spend the weekend.

[@ronaldwprovo5530]

Thank you from Cheboygan MI.I R2 Cat 1937 and F12 Famall.1937 of my dad.

[@jamesdiehl8690]

Thank you! I love it! Good old fashioned "modern enough" machines getting the job done! 😀😃🙂🙃

[@davidadaur5163]

It is really good to see your restored equipment at work. I have friends who collect JD but they don't do any work with them. Good on you. Thanks, David

[@djohnson542]

This video brought back memories of watching M’s and H’s at work when I was a kid. I was driving a Farmall H long before I could drive a car!

[@regsparkes6507]

Beautiful symmetry on and in the field. Great to watch. Thank you T.

[@robbybachmann332]

Beautiful video. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@93Martin]

The way you get around on that Super M, you'd think it was your baby, not Senior's. Love seeing these old gals getting a workout yet.

[@hermanschepers4739]

God, I love the sight of soil rolling in the sunshine!

[@jamesdiehl8690]

That proves you don't need AI telling you and the equipment how to do everything! My Dad grew up on a farm using two Belgian draft horses to work the field. So much for AI! 😀

[@bobuk5722]

Hi, that's HI! Horse Intelligence. My late Dad used to tell a tale about the local milkman who having delivered in the morning had a few drinks for lunch. He put his arms around the two horses pulling the cart and they walked him home and waited patiently for him to sleep it off in the stable.

[@markrepka8669]

You fellas did a stroke of business out there, fine job! Way to go!!!

[@PrimetimeNut]

The variety is just awesome!!! Keep your eyes out for arrowheads!

[@wheelieking71]

What an excellent day ya'll had! This is how I remember it being growing up "on the farm". Wasn't our farm, LOL. But, they (my parents and the neighbor farmers. The Porter's) couldn't keep me away when I was a kid (and I mean "kid", I started butting in when I was about 6). They eventually realized they were wasting their time trying, LOL. And, just let me work. And work I did! From tending the hogs (you don't know how hard dealing with animals can be until you deal with hogs!) to spreading manure before I was 10! I can remember backing up trailers for adults when I was a kid from the skills I had gleaned from working on the farm. You want to see a proud kid? Watch a 12 year old back a 40 year olds boat trailer down the boat ramp because the 40 year old was struggling. I got to be that kid many times. New guys would show up at the boat ramp, and struggle to back their boat to the water. I would wander over and offer to do it. They would laugh at me every time. Then one of the regulars, or a game warden would fill them in. And they would let me behind the wheel. Those days on the farm taught me a lot of lessons I still use today 45 years later and 2600miles away. I sure miss those times. I don't get to see days like that any more. I never got to do much dirt work. They kind of did draw a line on what size equipment they would let me operate. The Farmall dragging the manure spreader was about my biggest responsibility. And I always got to move the hay wagons around. But when the heavy iron came out, it was all business, no time for the kiddo. But at the end of the day, it was just like you showed: A bunch of good people, gathered around after a good days work. Thanks for sharing Squatch! Took me down memory lane for a little bit.

[@shadowbanned69]

Beautiful lil piece of paradise you have Toby!!!!

[@greenmule4634]

enjoyed it Squatch, I really love that ole K Allis, thanks for the video

[@antoniolepore6875]

nice work and thanks for sharing all the tractor action!

[@festus51]

It has been many years since I have seen sod laid over in ribbons like that. Good video thanks.

[@mikestewart7338]

Good clean fun. One of your best efforts.

[@LLImprovement]

Such nice hay to be plowing under. We have had such bad drought for the last 5 years we barely have anything in the fields. 80 acres and we get maybe 15 five foot bales...

[@shaneharrison4775]

Love seeing yall haveing such a beautiful productive day love it awesome video guys .thank you!

[@PRRGG1]

That's the beauty about farmers, everyone is always willing to lend a hand...

[@robertquast9684]

That cab on the cat crawler looks pretty cool. Looks like it was a good time

[@traybarr341]

I'd love to know WHAT that cab was on the 7u......I'm supposed to pick up a '48 7u this spring......a cab like that would be cool!

[@jondavidmcnabb]

The small dozers are really cool. I love how the look and sound.

[@jasonbadman159]

Just so great to see the old gear out there doing it like they did many moons ago great work to all a 🤟👍

[@rswany16]

Wish i could like more then once. There is just no better enjoyment in the world then turning over dirt!

[@jeffbrandon9179]

This was a fun video o watch with all the different brands of equipment Great job!!

[@andrewklahold2880]

Great show of forecast and recovery !!!

[@BillTheTractorMan]

I really do love that MDTA, I'd love an MD too. After watching Pete's (Just a Few Acres) rebuilding his, my fire rekindled. However, I've got a new spark for a WD-6 I saw earlier this summer too. Hard to not be attracted to them standard tread machines. Now next year maybe you need a Fordson Major to come to visit and plow too?

[@BillTheTractorMan]

@@squatch253 would definitely be interested, I'm by Rose City, Minnesota. Not many plow days around me, just threshing shows!

[@jamesdiehl8690]

Go Squatch Go! Looking beautiful guys! All of ya'!

[@brycewiborg8095]

Always enjoyed breaking sod. Was always annoyed with multiple tractors because the headlands looked tough with everyone picking up the plows on different spots. Learned behavior because my Dad wanted it to look nice where visible from the Township road. Our Ms used 3 tanks full of gasoline for 20 acres plowed which was a long day. Thanks Squatch.

[@chrismann2954]

Looks like a ton of fun. I would love to have been there. Great video! Love the old iron.

[@dangerrangerlstc]

I miss going to plow days. Wish I knew where some were around me. Got to get my IH two bottom back together too.

[@EricMatson-ru7jj]

I just love your vids especially the restoration of the D2 I had a 1941 and your vid brings back memories

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

Awesome lineup! Field looks great.

[@jimbritt2874]

Very nice showing of vintage steel thanks 👍👍🇺🇸

[@edwardpolinder6434]

Love when Farmings done with old iron wish I would have the 730 JD diesel grew up with John deere geen still love the sound of the old 2 cylinders you needs some John deere green next year

[@SootHead]

Wish my ground turned that easy. Heavy clay around here. No rocks, though. Not sure which is worse. Around here, you derate everything by one bottom.

[@PixelSchnitzel]

I'm torn between the idyllic green rolling landscape and all those classic old machines turning the sod over with such precision and ease. Very satisfying either way!

[@Fatamus]

Damn that looks like fun. Just sold my Ol JD disker I hadn’t used in 30yrs and a guy in Fairbanks need one for the newly cleared 15 acres of his 350 acres. Sold the Ol girl for two but his next option was 14k so he was happy 😃

[@WACRE44]

Loved it thanks guys

What a great weekend looks like more fun then I've had in a long time!

[@rickpeterson9968]

I love the old school way of farming!!

[@kylechrist]

The Farmall M sure follows that furrow nicely behind that Allis crawler, thanks for the fun weekend Toby!

[@kylechrist]

@@squatch253 Is there ground to be turned next year? If so, we will bring something
