Plow Day Weekend 2022! Caterpillar D2 & D4's - Case - Farmall - Oliver Equipment all Turning Ground

[@ironman3406]

I had a great time! Met some more great people. One of these years if fuel is more reasonable I’ll have to tow something from Canada down. I’m the last guy to get my video done but I was also the last guy to get home I will try and get it done today!!! Stay tuned

[@lotharschiese8559]

A Canucker! Yah, we farm up here too! We even got some ancient equipment up here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKOwkIyrdpaFmck

[@lotharschiese8559]

One feller in Pennsylvania, completely restored to working order, one of these, a later model and brought it to the Steam show and had it shoveling. Video is on KZbin! Turn of the 18th century stuff!

[@lotharschiese8559]

This Thew Automatic shovel was early in Panama until the Big shovels came, then went to work at Bear Creek in the Yukon gold fields. Then moved to its current location to work on the big water ditch to provide hydroelectric generation power! No small adventure to move this thing.

[@kylechrist]

1, I didn't notice Bob went logging with his 4 bottom plow, 2, 5th gear was just too high to pull the disc uphill, 3, the stationary John Deere H is the best 👌 🤣

[@Zippy1wood.]

That was awsome watching them old machines turn the sod over

[@mikewednesday8541]

Looks like a great day!!👍🏼 Nice to see all the tractors getting worked!! Thanks for bringing us along!!

[@rickyjessome4359]

Great video Squatch! It sure is nice to see all the old Iron putting in a day's work. And the picture at the end should be on a calendar! Cheers

[@larrywalker7759]

Calendar, a capital idea. Hint hint Toby.

[@ron827]

The attendance of good ol' plow boys from near and far is impressive dedication to the event. I know sophisticated people do not have this much fun nor do they understand the fun you guys had. Great aerial views.

[@TheMilwaukieDan]

🎉🎉🎉🎉how incredibly awesome this was. I’m an oldish man of 76. Only spent a few weeks at my uncles farm in the late 50s. Have always lived in the city and lusted to be like those that farmed. Watching this plowing with beautifully still useful equipment was beyond words for myself. I’m amazed how perfectly the soil was flipped over so neatly. To have friends like this is what farm life is about…. And I think it’s that way the world over. Thank you for sharing Plow Day

[@IndergaardAcres]

It’s a good thing I was standing there drinking a beer while others cleaned the tree out of bob’s plow. Somebody had to!

[@toddhansen5072]

I would buy a ticket to go watch this in person…I’d pay double to get to talk to the old timers!

[@jbj27406]

That drone footage showing the moving line of demarcation between the gorgeous grass stubble and the freshly turned earth is a thing of beauty. And I can't even imagine the preparation that goes into all the equipment used and the days and days and hours and hours of hand polishing those plow faces so they turn the earth so perfectly. Lol. Good for all you guys!

[@Denis-tu1pd]

Your dad looks great on the super M . It sounds like the super M don't even feel the load of the plows.

[@MC-re2ry]

Favorite fall ever . . . brand new 1206 pulling 5 - 16" bottoms. Plowed almost 1,000 acres. Kept going until the plow popped out of the ground from frost. That was almost 55 years ago. Ears are still ringing.

[@michaelbrash8843]

Thanks for sharing the day. Brother inlaws here in illinois have a plow day after wheat each year. Always a fun day

[@indianoladave]

What did y'all end up planting? I bet it is a grass crop of some verity, I ain't there to really feel the ground but it looks like there is a hard pan setting up under parts of that field. Next time run a shank ripper through it first. Rip then cross rip , moldboard , float drag the highs, then pulverize with a sand dolomite mix added. Broadcast seed clover at night on the next new moon. ( Helps keep the wildlife from eating all the seeds) Drag a spring cultivator over to get the clover in deep. Come spring time moldboard then anhydrous ammonia then your sweet corn and sunflower . Knee high by the fourth of July! Yee Haw cash crop.

[@pinwizz69]

That was absolutely awesome and entertaining. Something I've never seen. Old tractors plowing up a field. Growing up in a small Michigan farm town north of Flint Michigan I did see farms plowed but the equipment was way newer. Mostly Ford and Farmall tractors. A few odds and end ones I can't remember.

[@Ihbinder14]

I just love a good plow day, nothing is more satisfying as watching that dirt turn over!

[@terrystewart2070]

Man Toby I'm tellin' ya I can't explain how satisfying it is to watch the earth roll up behind you! Topping it all off is the fact that it's all done with vintage well loved equipment and bunch of good friends.....it just doesn't get a whole lot better!

[@LLAHTI1]

Awesome video, great job of plowing by everybody- the drone shot were really great, you are really getting good with that! Bob could really fly with his rig, and he was plowing deep!! lol Nice video

[@stevemccoy8138]

Looks like you all had a great time. Kinda reminds me of back in my youth, when all the neighbors showed up to help with the threshing, my Mom cooked lunch for the whole crew. Good days long ago. Thanks for Sharing. 🚜

[@markthompson8656]

Back in the 50's & 60's my Grandpa did custom combining TEXAS all the way up into Canada! my dad and all the uncles went.

[@dhamma58]

That sepia tone on the last shot was a really masterful touch...very nice

[@johnmccallum9542]

Thanks to UTUBE for letting all these folks meet over the years to make this event happen ,,, looks like was fun time had by all and memories made for a life time for folks there and those of us watching on utube. Regards J

Having way way too much fun Lucky everyone

[@bobpaterson1845]

Brilliant video 💪 love all the restoration videos an engineering video's you do but my thing is working with vintage tractors and that video made my day 💪👍 on Sunday this week we are having a vintage ploughing competition so looking forward to that 👍👍

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Man enjoyed every minute of it! Beautiful job boys!👌😎👍there’s some great working cat crawler’s and tractors!

[@rotax636nut5]

Utterly brilliant and very inspiring to see such like minded friends come together in mutual cooperation

[@ericcorse]

What a great turnout looking forward to next year.

[@frankcurley]

Good time makes memorable times. Nice to have friends come out and have fun!

[@larrydavidson3402]

What a great video, I can't begin to imagine how much fun it is to get together with good friends and old iron and do something like this.

[@deannabell6986]

Thanks for showing us how fun a hobby can be. The still shot antiqued was a nice touch. I have enjoyed your channel.

[@swag8724]

Whoever witnessed the first time that satisfying grass tilling confirming the design works must have been pretty damn happy, that never gets old to see how clean those cuts are

[@davidpeterson5186]

I think it was a feller the name of John Deere I reckon.

[@crazydave4455]

Nice overview with the drone 👍

[@paulsto6516]

That was completely awesome. Thanks for bringing us along!

[@Brindle_Boxer]

I wonder how many relic hunters were hiding in the woods twirling their mustaches? 😂

[@RobertFay]

*- Nice rocks in the pile **20:07**.* *- Excellent big round corner stones to set hand-hewn barn-sills back in the day.* *- And the smaller ones to fill in between so the pigs and sheep can not get out of their holding pens.*

[@shaneharrison4775]

They're not wrong it was an awesome picture with everyone round the Cat 20 feature and great plow day too that was fantastic. Totally loved it we dont have many of those days here in New York now days we did alot when I was a preteen until I reached my 20s

[@andyalfaro9646]

Great group of friends, I have friends like this, old buddy’s from Army past that drop everything to come help out with each other project. We all are blessed tho have them in our life’s.

[@clydeschwartz2167]

excellent video the ground gets turned over fast with lots of plows

[@clydeschwartz2167]

@@squatch253 I am used to a 3 16 inch John Deere plow and 10 acres takes a while and you guys flew right thru the crawlers can move right along with a plow I can see why they were popular in big prairie fields years ago. It would be nice to see 5j1113 turning some dirt too but I am sure it is in the works

[@frankdodson3534]

Awesome picture. Real men having a good time exercising old iron enjoying themselves and each other's company . Good food it could not get much better I hope you all gave the LORD thanks and prays for all things and a safe and wonderful day GOD BLESS

[@halsnyder296]

I went and subscribed to This old Farm… what are the others that were there? Already got Rick and Kyle

[@bobjohnston8316]

Great! Reminds me of Old Tyme Plow Day here in southeast Pennsylvania. I never miss it with my 1940 Ford 9N and 16” one bottom. I’ve acquired a 14” Ford/Ferguson two bottom which I should have ready for 2023. It’s in April and we usually have somebody grilling burgers and hot dogs. Attendance is around 20 tractors. In past years a D2 showed up but I haven’t seen it in a couple of years. Plowing old corn stubble is a pain. I always take a small army surplus shovel along to clear coulter jams.

[@joelknierim1456]

The lost art of plowing! Thanks for taking us along!

[@paulsilva3346]

21:10 I LIKE the Sepiatone/black and white Conclusion.! Now where next year.? Hey SQUATCH253,... I count 2- 4 bottom, 2-3 bottom, 2- 2 bottom, and ironmans 1 bottom.? ROLL CAL.?

[@KevinJones-pj8kx]

Looks like the day went well. Just wet enough to knock down the dust but let everything roll well. Sounds like you got to work the equipment to their limits. Other than a stall it two I didn't hear of breaking things so a very good day.

[@MrAmartins72]

Great video, it demonstrates the old iron still capable to do the work. Simple, no electronics no hidralics no DPF...... No problems Cheers to all from Portugual.

[@vburke1]

Man, I love the sound of a classic Farmall.

[@bhuff123]

What is the opening shot when you showed all the tractors coming up the driveway just got to be a five star award opening

[@daviddziomba9664]

Looks like you had some well set plows, also some great drone footage, and some Mike Less type music good job hope everyone had a good time , looks good. Dave D.

[@bluegrallis]

@ 7:35, I've never heard such a term as "the field crown", other than on a football field. anywhere around here in the midwest, it's called the "back furrow". A raised ridge left at the center of the strip of land when plowing is started from center to side is called back furrow.

[@nedfoley]

Its nice to be loved and respected. Of course that means you're going to need a bigger farm. I'm sure one of the members out there has an algorithm that will tell you how many acres to acquire per number of plow bottoms in the group!

[@beginlivinglikeaboss]

What a great gathering of old iron. Nice shots with the drone. Can get a good sense of what your land looks like and all the work done so far.

[@toddabbott781]

So what are you planting in those fields... wheat, barley, or clover maybe? That soil looks pretty good. The small farm I grew up on as a kid was a bit too sandy so we were limited on crops. We grew mostly vegetables. We had one acre fenced in with a small barn/coop for animals like pigs and chickens mostly, but also rabbits, goats, a cow once, and even a horse. We had a second acre for growing mostly vegetables like tomatoes, green beans, carrots, potatoes, peas, beats, cucumbers. We also had some rhubarb, strawberries, and blackberries. We made cheese with the extra goat's milk and canned or froze everything else. We also got salmon and s blueberries from my dad (he leased out an old 10 acre blueberry field to a larger grower and they could not run the shakes all the way to the end of the rows because of the ditches). We also had another farmer that would bring my mother venison and apples. We sold mot of the goat's milk to people that could not have cow's milk. We made pickles and jams and jellies and baked most of our bread. Anything we did not eat we would sell, but mostly the food was for our large family (my mother had 6 kids and I was the youngest) and we were poor (my dad was not, but they got divorced when I was 4). I hated farming as a child, but now I am grown up and have a messed up back... I wish I could farm. My favorite channel is the Veggie Boys. I wish that was my life.

[@keithwarkentin]

That looked like a absolute good time excellent camera work! Lots of variety and it looked like lots of laughs 👍

[@SuperMAZ007]

What a great day. Had a sneak peek from Kyles and Ricks channel of what was going on. Lot of old iron and lot of old plows. Can't wait for next year to see what you all will come up with.

[@kevinjohnson5214]

Good one very enjoyable to watch I did time on an s-c when I was a kid west of north Branch really cool and good team work thanks so much

wow, i did not think old tractors could move that fast. i am impressed.

[@keving2371]

What are you guys planting ? ...to save some fuel you all should be No-tilling ;-) Looked like a hell of a hay field

[@MrDwrench1]

Been waiting for your video on this. Caught the shorts from everyone else. The new D2 seemed to pull its weight pretty well. Look forward to the content on that one as well as the rest of 1113.

[@rinardman]

That's impressive to have that much cutting-edge, high-dollar machinery gathered in one place!

[@paulmartin8212]

What is it about that sod flipping over that is so hypnotizing? I could watch that or do that all day. thanks for sharing again.

[@samiam5557]

Be proud to be a sodbuster! Looks like fun was had by all. 🤠🤗

[@dans_Learning_Curve]

Really, until I saw CATs on this channel, I only thought they pushed. Never dawned on they were used to pull farm implements. Thanks for the great show!

[@ironman3406]

You bet caterpillar was an agricultural company long before they got into earthmoving. It really wasn’t until after the Second World War that cat started producing their own earthmoving implements

When I bought my '41 A, it had a bad governor. The previous owner had baling wire run from the throttle handle to the governor arm. It was run like that for at least 25 years. When I rebuilt the engine, the bearings were no worse for the wear. I was surprised how abuse tolerant they are.

[@jeffmarx588]

As a suggestion, I know I could look up how the plows work, but as an inexperienced "city slicker" I was hoping you were going to give a little more detail on how the plows operate and any planning of plowing the field. Still nice video and thanks.

@@squatch253 thank you.

[@NEAFarmKid4010]

Man I wish I didn't live all the way down in Arkansas. I'd love to come up there and plow lol

[@NEAFarmKid4010]

@@squatch253 Well, I have a Snap-Coupler plow for our Allis WD45 (that I've never plowed with lol), but I'd have to come up with the parts to put on the tractor that would basically disengage the hand clutch if you hit a rock. We don't have rocks down here, but if I plow up there that'd be a necessity. I also need to find a way to convert it to throw away wear parts. It's a 3-12" (I know, odd combo), and it has the old style two-piece moldboards that you had to take to a blacksmith to have them re-sharpened. And they're pretty worn. Only issue is the only repop parts I've seen to let you convert them are for the 14 and 16 inch moldboards, and I don't think the frame is adjustable. If I can do all that, and convince my grandpa to let me haul it up there (which would be a chore in itself LOL), I'd definitely love to come.

I think I said to Chris Kyle big boys playing in big sandpits. It's your Sandpit Toby and you ask the boys over to play with you. lol, However a good way to do it. I guess you spend a day at their property plowing also? When they harvest wheat, oats, etc over here in the Wheatbelt, they all bring their harvesters over to each property and get it done quick also as to beat the weather So they go play in the grass over here.
