Plowing in February with Herman

It has been unusually warm and dry. The ground is fit for plowing, and Herman the Oliver 1950 is fresh out of the hospital, ready to try out his repairs. We get going with a cold start, get hooked up and then hit the field Ride along and enjoy that Detroit Diesel sound pulling 6 -16 inch bottoms. 2 stroke diesel power!

A guy told me that a Detroit Diesel was the best invention ever for turning diesel fuel and air into smoke and noise! Nice video, the ground is in great shape!

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

Thanks!

[@JeffMilitello]

Plowing has always been one of my favorite tasks. It was the beginning of everything becoming new again. That's why Spring is my favorite time of year. Can't believe how dry your soil is. We just got more snow yesterday in central New York. At least it's frozen now and we don't have mud.

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

We were wet all during harvest, but it wasn't large quantities of moisture, but just enough to keep us out of the fields. We've caught up some with rains in the last few weeks, but with our well drained soil, once the frost came out it dried out fast.

[@user-dp2kg9ub2z]

[@dalecoffing8655]

I remember back in the late '60's when Dad and I plowed in February. An IH 460 and 606 with two IH 311 plows. Then he bought an 1800 and 545. I recall plowing in a blizzard where we couldn't see each other 50' apart. It was a great time,

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

I plowed with the 1800 in December. It started snowing, and it looked cool with the strip of soil in an otherwise white field. Eventually there was enough snow it started making the stalks hang and plug the plow, so I called it quits.

[@albertbordelon2342]

Plowing in February? Awesome! I was gonna plow my garden in winter, after these milder days, but didn't get my plow wheel fixed yet. I know the ground has very little frost in it. I was able to pound my driveway markers in after the January snowstorm we got.

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

The only time it got cold we had snow that kept the frost out of the ground. It's been cold enough to put a little frost in the ground, but I might be able to do some more field work when it warms up again this week.

[@michaelsheeder148]

Chris, it is an amazingly seeing you work the field in the middle of febuary. But that's good you'll get a jump on the field work the spring. Looks like Herman's working okay 👍. I got to say when I was a kid I always could sit and watch the dirt roll over when you work the fields like that I could watch it for hours. Thanks Michael

A lot of guys say harvest is their favorite season. For me it's spring work.

I do love to see and hear plowing. We had a little heavier soil in Michigan. It doesn't look look like you are getting very deep and the plow wasn't leaving a clean crisp furrow. We were going down 11 - 12 inches back in the 60's. I know you were just screwing around a bit there, but it was sort of a thing for us to have a perfectly straight furrow and no GPS. We were correcting the whole time so that when we were finishing a field (when going around the whole field), we ended up right on property line, or when going the other direction, a perfect little strip in the middle. Fun to see ole' Herman scream.

There was never any honest competitor between the MM and Oliver. No contest

[@kcoers]

I've never ran a "trip btm" plow. it definitely looks like a PIA. Makes me glad i'm in central Illinois, where we dont grow rocks

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

It beats broken plow shares, but I can see why we sold only auto reset plows once they came out.

[@burrridgefarms]

That is a toggle trip plow I believe. You should see us plow stoney ground up in Wisconsin. My big plows are automatic reset, the springs are much larger and most of the time you just have to stop to reset if they don't trip back in on their own.

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

@@burrridgefarms Oliver called this "cushion trip". There are springs that help cushion the hit of smaller rocks without tripping. If it hits a big enough obstacle the spring compresses far enough to let the trip mechanism flip the bottom up.

[@brentkelsay3439]

Dad had a 1966 Ford 4000 split grille and a Ford 101 w/3-14s that had the trip bottoms. Just back up and reset it. Thankfully didn't happen often. Mrs Douglas loved Oliver and therefore Herman; Mr Haney, not so much... 😕😁

Pretty cool you were able to get Herman out for a test run this time of year! Have had similar thoughts but then it snowed and got cold again so it will have to wait. Auto-reset would be a huge advantage in your soil. I'm guessing you don't have an on-land auto-reset?

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

Not with a drawbar hitch. Herman no having 3 point hitch really limits which plow I can use. I'd like to find a drawbar auto reset plow. There's many around here, seems like anything over 4 bottoms is semi mount.

Needs a block heater. Also, needs weights on the front for ploughing, you can see the front tires creeping (spinning). Love the tires though, cuts down on soil compaction.

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

A little slippage is not a bad thing.

[@KevinSills]

Yeah it is a bad thing, ask any AG dealer. This would be a good application for the new Goodyear LSW farm tire by Titan.@@ThatOliverGuyChris

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

@@KevinSills maybe things have changed, but back when I was an AG dealer and radar was a new thing on tractors they really pushed how it could show wheel slippage. Somewhere around 5% was ideal. Getting up around 10% was wasted power. Zero slip was putting extra stress on the drivetrain. Basically, if the wheels didn't have a little slip, something else eventually would.

[@KevinSills]

Agreed. :)@@ThatOliverGuyChris
