I've been loving these videos. Hope your eye is healing. I've noticed you been letting dad do the tractor driving and lifting. Good knowing you are taking care of yourself and Senior is participating in your recovery. Thanks for bringing us along. I've plowed many an acre with my dads 3 disc John Deer breaking plow. It did much the same job as a Moboard plow but roller the disc. It also had the wheel lift rope pull. I've worn out a few ropes myself.

Senior's spot on - I blow dry my Husky riding mower after nearly every use. Their open frames collect grass clippings with can block the movement of the hydro transmission 'lever' or actuating arm just behind the engine mounting area. My grandpa always made the point it is easier and cheaper to clean your equipment after every use. You also are looking it over every time for indicators of potential problems.

That was a real treat to see the subsoiler in action with GREAT camera angles. Hard freezing this winter should mellow out some of the compaction from the tractor tires. Like the old saying about plowing, the worst job of plowing in the Fall is still better than the best job in the Spring.

I remember when I was younger a neighbor has a old ground driven sub soiler it was huge it had 4 foot steel wheels on it I bet that the shank would have about 3 feet long with a chain hooked to it with a 6inch steel ball on the end it could make a tractor work in heavy ground

@bishopcorva11 ай бұрын
It's a little hard to notice at the start, but by about 10:45 it's pretty clear that the soil is getting real broken up by how deep the super M's wheels are sinking into the dirt versus at the very start. Another little idea that could be done to help boost the productivity of the garden plot would be to collect as much saw mill dust and ashes from the wood stove. Mix those together and spread them over before roto-tilling. Kinda like drying and crushing in egg shells. I would suggest shrimp and crab shells if you were closer to the ocean and availability were higher.

@danielstickney240011 ай бұрын
This reminds me of the BBC "Wartime Farm" episode where they tried to improvise a subsoiler based on a UK wartime design and completely underestimated the forces involved. If they'd been KZbinrs they probably would have used the resulting metal pretzel to reengineer their design but it was broadcast so the end result was hardpan 1 farmers 0. How close you're willing to get to that fence directly correlates to how much time you're willing to spend rebuilding it.

How far apart are you trying to subsoil? On a modern ripper shanks are 24”-30” apart typically. To get that kind of width you would most likely have to drive over the last shank pass thus adding compaction back in.
