Plowing dirt in freezing weather

[@davidstith9297]

I love the way a freshly plowed field looks so clean and uniform.

[@TerrellSpivey]

Wow! Been years and years since we've used our switch plow! The dirt is definitely red there! Good video!

Hi, This reminds me of North Dakota. When I was in the USAF, I got stationed at Finley AFS, ND. My so call friends said "Great News there is a Girl Behind Every Tree in North Dakota". I just completed technical school and this was my first assignment. After about 6 months, I said "Where is that tree you were talking about"? BTW...after that assignment I got stationed in Thailand for a year...then restationed at Fortuna AFS, North Dakota. I was so happy to get out of the military. Vinny

this is strangely satisfying to watch and also makes me envious to do. at most i am just a gardener, not a farmer but that turned over soil looks gorgeous.

[@conleybanman]

Thanks this might be one of my favorite jobs just because of how good it always looks

[@robertreznik9330]

Nice looking dirt. My Texas dirt is Montmorillonite clay loam. It is a loess that was blown here 400 miles from the Pecos area during the Ice age. You can still see the clay beds today. These are volcanic deposits made over 100's of thousands of years. Texas is blessed with many productive soils on its nearly billion acres of farms.

[@BillyPurcell]

Interesting to see these type of ploughs at work. They are quite different than our conventional plough here in Ireland. They are doing a cracking job. Well set up I guess. Good content on your channel also. 👍

[@conleybanman]

Thanks 😁

New sub here. That red west Texas dirt looks like around my home town of Sweetwater Texas. Really enjoyed this video. It's the first time I've ever seen a plow that swivels like that. Interesting! I'm sure farmers now days like that GPS!

@@conleybanman Our 1941 Case VAC has a flip over plow. Manually operated. And is a lot smaller. But then in the hilly SE part of Ohio, we don't have 30 acres of flat land either.

[@conleybanman]

Very interesting i vaguely remember those flip over plows. They made a huge improvement since then

[@MYTV808]

Good and amazing video my friend plowing the field

[@FIMTX]

Thanks so much for reviewing our plow next to our competitors. It’s always good to have feedback. It helps us to constantly improve. I think the reason you may be feeling more pull on the FIM (formerly Fehrs) plow is due to the fact that we use a solid 8”x8” 1/2” thick steel tube center beam as opposed to their welded, 5/16” thick bent-metal spine. We believe this is worth the additional weight to make it more solid and durable. We’d love to have more feedback and get your thoughts as a working farmer in our neighborhood. :) Thanks again for your review!

[@conleybanman]

Absolutely I love to help. I do have one thought that I would change on your plow. The adjustable arm on the rear tire to adjust the depth in the back come loose once in a while and starts adjusting itself. But thanks for your comment it’s great to know a little bit more about the machinery we use.

[@FIMTX]

@@conleybanman I’m sorry to hear your having trouble with the rear adjustment arm. I have already passed this information on to our team and we will take a look. Now that you mention it, one other difference between the two plows is the tire itself. We use an 11” width of tire on our plow as opposed to the 6” tires on the competitors’ plows. We have heard that this helps significantly with achieving more float on top of the soil for better depth accuracy as opposed to cutting down into the soil with a narrower tire. Our goal is to provide a quality tool that will last and is made right here in the Great State of Texas. It’s farmers like you that help us to continue to improve. We love our farmers!

[@conleybanman]

Oh yea the larger tire makes a huge difference I have definitely noticed that especially in softer soil. And I’m happy to help make a great plow even better 😁 😅

which one is better for depth , and which is the easier for the tractor.thanks

The FIM would be better for depth the Tatu seemed to pull a little bit better behind the tractor

[@jackhume4532]

I have never seen ploughs like those before, but however I think that those ploughs are a lot better than our reversible ploughs that we have here in Europe, because our reversible ploughs carry a lot more weight because of how they are configured with the standard format for the bottom set and then the other way for the return trip back up the field, now those ploughs that you and your colleague were using are a much better item as they don’t have to be rotated around after each pass, of course you still use the hydraulics to move the plough but it’s on a more simpler pivot which means you don’t have to worry about a top heavy load when you have reached each end of the furrow, anyway I have enjoyed watching this film and I really like 👍 that sort of plough.

[@conleybanman]

Oh yea they’re very nice these plows are still heavy but I can see how they wouldn’t be as heavy as what your used too

[@jamesfriesen4945]

I was wondering if any of y’all could explain me this why the top hook on the quick hitch needs to be bigger than usually

[@conleybanman]

The plow is so heavy it needs bigger pins so you don’t loose a plow. Bigger pins require bigger hooks

[@deanpahl8591]

I havent seen a plough like this before either. Iv seen reversible ploughs but they are mouldboard ploughs none like these though. They leave a beautiful finish and seem to bury alot of trash. How much sidedraft do they have on the tractors, and what are their cutting widths and how greedy are they on horsepower? Good stuff 👍

[@KitfoxPilot]

Interesting, first time I've seen a plow like that . Haven't seen a plow used here in southern Illinois in years. There's not a better smell then that fresh plowed dirt.
