Plowing Sod with 1066 and 4 bottom Plow

Getting some ground sodbusted in order to plant 10-12 acres of white popcorn. Look for it on shelves and my website this fall! Spoorfarms.com

That plow is set perfect for that sod. Great green manure. Right up there for some of the best plowing I've seen. Good job! Buy that plow. You have some neat videos.

Set perfect would mean that no turf was left on top, so far from perfect

Looks like you've been taking good care of that plow. She cuts like a razor. I think it's pretty neat that you made your tractor into a half-and-half row-cropper of sorts as well. Not many people would have put that much thought into it.

Good straight furrow but put the plow in the ground about 1 foot roll the ground over not just the turf

[@gavinspoor4005]

David Signor subsoil is nasty clay, didn’t want to bring to much of that to the top. We’ve only got around 6” of topsoil in this part of Missouri

[@anthonythorp7291]

Wisconsin we don't have a foot of topsoil.

[@mikeyjohnston2703]

Too anyone saying your not going deep enough. If your covering the trash up your going deep enough

[@anthonythorp7291]

That's plenty deep. Always told no more than 6 inches. I plow just deep enough to "cover the trash" as you said, usually 4 inches.

[@dennisbutlee2404]

Nice machine guy.

[@wordlog860]

Good luck! We still used a 1066 for random shit, and we needed to just paint our 4 row plow for reasons. (ours is a bit different). Kudos for keeping the cab on the 1066. Dad had asthma and since it was so hot with no A/C we got rid of our cab on ours. NJ. (1066 was our main tractor for soooo long ;)) We could plant soybeans into pasture though last time we tried it, there were some addatives for it, but we didn't need to plow it. We did right into pasture. (maybe part of the country, we're in North Missouri) (we do notill, and that's kind of our bag) We only do field corn (sometimes goes food grade) and soybeans though.

[@erictoole5980]

Gonna catch hell getting rid of that grass. Should have cut it with a disc good and deep and plowed at least 10 inches.

[@Kombajnistazbizona]

Such plowing that you use is nothing new to me, in Poland where I live, many farms plow at least once every two seasons, the basis of a good plowing taught by my father, a well-adjusted plow, does not have to go too deep, nor too shallow, plow furrows must be at perfect distances to each other. And after the first level crossing, you can boldly release the steering wheel, the same rut after the last furrow leads the tractor in a straight line. Greeting from Poland :D

[@MFKR696]

I know talking like a know-it-all makes you feel special and all, but nobody asked for your advice. Plowing, in general, is as old as time. Don't act like you invented it.

Nice video I've read in the comments why didnt you go deeper to me it looked like you were 5 or 5 1/2 main thing was when you seen what you were flipping over it looked like you were under the roots. Maybe popcorn dont need 8in or maybe the soil was moist. People always have things to say as an outsider looking in. I have a international 586 with a 3x16 and 72 massey 135 2x16 I never do 8in.

[@djwheels66]

You put auto steer in a 1066???? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😥😥😥

[@jaybee2344]

Instead wasting so much fuel plowing to kill grass. Just run a mower at the lowest setting. Which will help dry out the stem of the grass fast. Then run a disk over whats left.

[@forrestcolby1238]

Jason Buis plowing to the best of my knowledge isn’t used only in the hopes of killing grass. It is used to turn over the soil to bring nutrient rich dirt from below the surface up to the top and also to open up new fields and make a good seed bed
