[@truefigmandu1810]

Things change with time. I spent many hours plowing land that looked just like that between Littlefield and Muleshoe back in the early 60s. The John Deere I drove didn't have a heated cab, though; it used canvas to direct the heat from the engine towards the seat. Your video brought back some good memories. Thanks for the ride.

Nice job, buddy. I worked on the wheat fields for a summer in Western New South Wales, Australia. Long, long rows on an open tractor. 38°c. (100f) Very relaxing, but we had to watch out for sunburn! In those days, I used spring tined harrows.

Looks like the soil in the field you were working varied quite a bit from one end to the other. Also, if your earth engaging replacement edges don’t all come from the same manufacturer, when they get in short supply, you might be more apt to get poor quality parts. Interesting video. Take care.

That's not a modern plow, that's a piece of junk and would catch me dead running one. Look up Lemken roll over plows, now those are modern plows. Their biggest one is the Titan 18, 12 bottom plow. Lemken is not the only brand their is many more.

[@John-nc4bl]

Conley, thanks for your excellent videos. That loose ground looks like easy plowing and I thinking if you added 3 or 4 more bottoms you could turn over more ground in a shorter time.

[@conleybanman]

Probably but after 9 bottoms you have to switch to a pull type plow

[@John-nc4bl]

@@danielclark8036 It would be better to have it balanced with an equal number of bottoms on either side of its hinge point, otherwise an unequal number will increase wear in the hinge area. Also, it could be turned into a pull type, ( trailed ) plow with more bottoms and outrigger, swivelling wheels.

[@peteparker7396]

It may look loose but it’s not,,,, and if you ever run one of those you’d know.

[@MrTechss]

I had no idea tractors could be so high-tech. The GPS guidance system on this modern ag tractor is a game-changer!

[@user-xl5cn5sb6q]

What kind of bottoms are those? Never saw square bottoms. I come from plowing upstate NY in small rocky fields with 3 bottoms on JD 60. No GPS or gizmos, just old farmin' and knowin' nature.

[@frios011]

I just LOVE being out there during a nice calming snowfall!

[@AgriFatech]

Great video. Very relaxing. How do you like the plow since you put the extensions on? Also could you maybe show how you do the turn rows when your all done with a field? No one around here plows except to rebuild terraces, I find plowing very interesting

[@conleybanman]

Well that’s the thing we don’t do the turn rows since we don’t plant corner to corner because it’s irrigated we can plow everything we need to

[@davidepittiglio8579]

Great work!!!! Looking good from Tasmania Australia 👍

[@wadewalker6231]

Have you noticed an increase in productivity by making that plow an 8 bottom now and how do you like it...? How many acres an hour can you now cover as opposed to before you made it an 8 bottom..?

[@conleybanman]

It gave us an extra acre in productivity per hour. We like it as far as being able to cover more acres but it seemed like it did a cleaner job without it. Somehow it pulls behind the tractor at a slightly different angle and I guess it makes a difference

[@jerryd0413]

Over here in Paraguay South America we put a mixture of clay and water in our tires because we have a lot of spikes from the Brushes in our fields. It instantly clogs holes and seals them off nicely.
