Three Classic Tractor Plow Day

Bandit's Oliver 1850 and White Plow
Craig's AC D19 and AC plow
My Case 730 and Bandit's Oliver three bottom.
I had never plowed before that day. There's nothing worse than tilling after a bad plow job, so now I know be over powered for a small plow. Once we got going, it wasn't bad. The whole point of starting in the low spot was to fill it in. I think the construction of the building next door did us dirty because any dirt excavated was dumped on that field and not leveled out well. And that was 15+ years ago.

I pull four bottles with my 400 case no problem

[@anderleof]

Beer bottles?

[@486kyle]

"not in my dirt"

[@Florida239]

Not in sod no way

[@FarmallFanatic]

Smokey and The Bandit!

[@marlinevans5950]

Good job guys. Easy to see someone who knows how to plow. Amazing to watch some of those at the working shows trying to plow, obvious they don't have a clue.

[@davidtanner4020]

Bandit’s 6 bottom is dialed in perfectly

[@Hinesfarm-Indiana]

Can’t beat a classic tractor plowing day, neat video 👍👍

[@Military-Museum-LP]

I miss plowing. Thanks Jacob

[@frankdeegan8974]

Bandit's Oliver was running Great, glad to see it running like it should.

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Around here is the same way- plowing sod under is the best thing to do. Nice seeing the different tractors at work 🙂

[@craigrasnic4178]

Jacob I have a set of duals for the 730 so next time we’re gonna have to put one on there for you. And next time I’ll bring a different tractor and plow but nothing big because bigger plows mean we get done to quick lol

[@koryleague8833]

That was one of the most beautiful videos I've seen.

[@ronaldellingwood2211]

Really enjoyed seeing the old farm equipment in action.

[@hollywood8530t]

That field looks amazing, you guys did a great job 😊😊

[@scottmattingly9643]

That Comfort King is music to my ears I'm so glad you got one I most certainly happy for you

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Very nice Jacob thanks for putting this together and making it happen

[@GeorgeWatson-ij9dk]

Case allis and oliver were nice tractors

[@fdelputte5755]

Super nice video. Hope you get lots of views. You and the team deserve it !

[@train1962]

Fun video to watch.Good old fashioned plowing with classic iron.

[@superliner101hobbyfarming]

Glad you finally got to moldboard plow! I don’t do it too often but it sure is a nice change of pace from the chisel plow. As of writing this I had to stop cutting hay right after opening up a field because the bushing wore out where the wobble box meets the sickle bar. Gotta scramble to get parts in the morning, hope you have better luck with your hay season!

[@Farmall450]

Man that's some weird looking ground. Bandit was laying it down good at 5:10.

[@Farmerupyonder]

Holy moly that's deep! Nice work

[@burrridgefarms]

Nice job guys 👍That poor 1850 has gotta be pulling its guts out, sheesh. I ran the disk over the sod I plowed, mainly to bust up the hay from I feeding bales, it plowed the best I've ever managed. The patch I have left has some small pines in it, those will get buried.

[@banditfarmer1900]

One thing to remember is this ground hasnt been turned sense about 1982 or 83 so its hard and full of cut off brush and tree roots. It was a bit wet to plow but you got to do what you got to do to get the job done. I had the choice of using a 5x16" plow or the 6x14" witch is only 4 inches wider than the 5x16" and being smaller bottoms makes it easer to pull. The 1850 is rated a 5 or 6 bottom plow tractor so she is just doing the job she was mint to do, I was running 4th direct about 1900 rpms and she was running good ! Bandit

[@burrridgefarms]

Up here Bandit when you get above a 4 botton usually then are c 16 or 18 inch bottoms, I shoulda guessed maybe you were pulling 14s.

[@banditfarmer1900]

@@burrridgefarms I bought an AC 4x20" plow in really good shape cheap , I found out why as it made our old 1850 roll coal in 2nd gear under to pull it ! Hooked the 5x16"s back to the 1850 and I was in 5th under and never had any smoke ! That old saying is true, The bigger the bottom the harder they pull ! 6x14's is only 4 inches wider than 5x16's and they pull just as easy. Bandit

[@ericlakota1847]

Always loved the color and look of old case look realy good with nice paint your tractor is in amazing condition some one took really good care of that tractor we have a 730 where in middle of repaint my dad likes to reapaint all the tractors when we get them but we use the shit out of them they look nice in field though i like cleen old original tractors that run good old 30 series case are varry easy to work on only problem is alot of it you need to use wrenches cant use sockets like it was wrenched together cant use impacts take each bolt off one turn at a time and that kills you on a rebuild taking out 100 bolts

[@ethantrout2407]

Loving these videos man

[@banditfarmer1900]

That was a fun day for sure, I really miss plowing like we used to do back in the olden days ! LOL That was a funky piece of ground to plow up and lots of shrubbery we turned under ! We got to do this again this was fun ! Bandit

[@craigrasnic4178]

Yes sir I agree

[@craigrasnic4178]

Yes sir it was a blast but next time we all need a 2 or 3 bottom so we can play longer lol. Bigger equipment means that we get done to quick

[@banditfarmer1900]

@@craigrasnic4178 Well I guess I could put the 3 bottom on the 1850, That would make a lot of people happy ! LOL But I could use a 4 bottom, 1 of the 4 of them ! LOL Bandit

[@craigrasnic4178]

Hahahahahaha yep

[@crestviewfarm5229]

I might have y'all come over and plow my 18 acres for me next year lol. Neighbors had it in no-till for too many years now, its hard as a rock.

[@America-First2024]

Looks good! 👍🏻

[@genedieballsr.4493]

Looks like you were doing a good job. A little wouldn’t hurt.

[@matthewdavis4081]

Jacob you will have to keep a eye out for a nice 3 bottom IH plow that is semi mounted plow to add to your collection of equipment. I love plow days don't get to plow very often anymore

[@TimothyFluegel]

Some of those weeds Looked like wild flowers to me??? You talked about over powered being under-rated. I can tell you don't know allot about Allis cause Craig was the only one there that was over powered 😂 I pull pretty much the same plow with a d 17 through tough red clay ground that never really dries up. The old budda was barely breaking a sweat there. I've got some ground that I can't pull 6 16s with my 7060, 180 hp or so and 16000 lbs. That makes that ground look like your plowing a garden lol I'd love to see bandit drop in there lol. Great video, even though I plow 150 acres a year and have a plow day footage like this never gets old. You had your right lift arm to short on the case it was leaning to the left a little, that the only reason you weren't turning over quite like the other 2.also why it wanted to pull you into the furrow.

[@craigrasnic4178]

We had fun that day, Bandit was pulling 6X14’s. I was running high 2nd but dropped down to low 3rd so I wasn’t pushing the Case

[@craigrasnic4178]

But all jokes aside that was some hard ground. If it wasn’t a little wet we probably wouldn’t have been able to get the plows in the ground

[@frankscruggs4749]

Good video.

[@BarnyardEngineering]

You're doing better plowing than I did this spring. There's no flat level ground around here. Out there in Ohio you could watch your dog run away for a week if not for the hedge rows, LOL.

[@boehmfarm4276]

Some parts, like the northwest part of the state.

[@iansmartel5473]

That soil is turning well, I may have mowed first possibly less to poke out. Just lightly disc now lovely seedbed.

[@John-hd5ex]

Generally you should try to plow half as deep as your furrow is wide so 14 inches wide is 7 inches deep. And you will do a much better job once you get the rust off the plow

[@FarmallFanatic]

Slat bottoms are good for clay...less surface to stick to

[@donvoll2580]

Really never heard that before, Also never had it np here. Thanks

[@boehmfarm4276]

And do we have clay. They didn't have to dig deep to make bricks 150 years ago.

[@FarmallFanatic]

@@boehmfarm4276 Should have let me know you were plowing I would have came down

[@craigrasnic4178]

We may have some more to plow

[@Joey966]

Nice!

[@matthewcurrier3636]

That must be 6 14" bottoms (which I didn't know were around). I pull 5 16's I think it is with our jd 6030 and he flies through our heavier soil pretty well; mostly old alfalfa field though. Would think the jd 6030 has more pull than that oliver. I just keep the duals on which probably isn't correct, but its a bear to get some old duals off.

[@Machinist5527]

That looks like Indian hemp (dogbane). I found it in my field this year.

[@nickthekidfarmall1622]

Oh Yeah

[@Hinesfarm-Indiana]

We got quite a few Allis-Chalmers, that D19 is about like our 185 Allis.

[@craigrasnic4178]

By far my favorite tractor that I own, we named it ole reliable

[@Hinesfarm-Indiana]

@@craigrasnic4178 that’s neat, looks like a nice one. Is it gas or diesel? I have a D17 diesel.

[@craigrasnic4178]

It’s a gas and I use it more than any other tractor in the barn

@@craigrasnic4178 oh ok nice 👍

[@TomBean-qf6zv]

Plowing will get a lot of things off your mind for awhile seems like.

[@JMo268]

So what's the plan? You going to seed it with a spreader? Put down some lime?

[@boehmfarm4276]

It's going to corn.

Weeds is what’s growing 🤣😂 you gave it away 😂🤣

[@jimpolk]

Cool video. Jacob, what is the purpose of the flat blade that runs in front of the curved blade in a plow?

[@johnnyholland8765]

They are supposed to throw the loose trash in front of the moldboard to be buried by the soil turning over.

[@jimpolk]

@@johnnyholland8765 cool. I always wondered. Thanks so much.

[@waynejones5239]

The coulters cut the soil root mass so to plow easier

[@joelmollenkopf3767]

Interesting

[@matthewcurrier3636]

That slat bottom is way to shallow, in my opinion. We do ~5-6" in spring and little deeper in fall if need be.

[@farmallchris]

Great video . Who’s going to farm this field your or bandit ?

[@boehmfarm4276]

Me

[@farmallchris]

@@boehmfarm4276 bandits Oliver you don’t find to many narrow fronts like that with a cab. Your case seems like a great runner. Sorry if I’m asking to many questions are you starting to go out on your own or is this going to be you and your family expanding I thought I heard in the video that this field hasn’t been touched in 30 years

[@craigrasnic4178]

We put the cab on bandits tractor, it was originally on my 1955 Oliver and I would rather have an open station so we put the cab on his and his fenders on mine

[@donmacdonald7758]

I read where that 730 can pull a 5 bottom plow

[@J-1410]

Where? Here the 930 was the 5 bottom tractor in heavy clay.

[@craigrasnic4178]

It just depends on the ground where you’re at, I have a 5x16 plow that my D19 will pull on most of my place but I also have some ground that the 4x16 work the guys out of it

[@prjndigo]

You been watching Duffy rip pieces of his on-land Deere plow off breaking 20 year grazed sod on a hill?

[@banditfarmer1900]

Plow enough sod and your liable to brake anything on a plow ! Last time this ground was plowed or worked up was the early 80's and after that there were times it grew up in brush and was bush hogged down so there was a lot of roots out there plus how much clay was put on that field when that building was built ? That ground was wet to say the least but I'm glad it was or as hard as it was if it was dry I doubt the plows would have gone in the ground. But we got it done. Bandit

You ask for weed ID. That at 1:26 is dogbane. It's become a real problem in our hay here in Mississippi. I would be interested to know how turning the field does in eradicating it!

[@craigrasnic4178]

I have had problems with mares tail in the past but if I moldboard plow along the creeks and the bottom ground it seems to get rid of it

[@johnnyholland8765]

Is there not a chemical you could have sprayed to kill the weeds?

[@boehmfarm4276]

Half off the issue is how rutted the field is from I'll time bush hogging. Plus, I'm not excited about spraying.

[@jameswest332]
