If you watched your depth and had a big enough cylinder, the M would pull it.

[@FarmallFanatic]

Agree 👍

[@reaperhunter7297]

That 826 is a beast! It sounds healthy too

[@bruceblaylock1397]

That 826 sounds awesome when pulling, I think you have a keeper there.

Back when I was younger we pulled a 16' chisel plow with the 806 like butter with the duels and front weight.

[@FarmallFanatic]

That's what I want to get

[@thomasknouse3934]

Hi! I enjoyed you chisel plowing for the first time video. I had a super MTA with 4 1/8 inch pistons in it which boosted the 264 cu. in. displacement to 281 cu. in. and I wouldn't expect the super MTA to pull more than five shanks. The chisel plow pulls harder the first time you plow to brake up the hard pan you have built up running the furrow tire in the bottom of the furrowl. I also farmed in eastern Iowa in clay ground. I had a ten shank chisel which I took two off and pulled it with a 1650 Oliver diesel which was a load for the Oliver. And it pulled hard in the clay knobs. The 400 has the same 264 cu. in. engine that the super M and super MTA had from the factory. Tom

[@martyh299]

Agreed!

[@gregarthur4746]

I pull a 10 shank behind the 966 w/dual at 8' to 10" deep. I run in Low 4, high torque. You want to chisel around 5 mph or you throw too much dirt out and it make it really rough to disc down. A 13 shank on the 5088 works well also.

[@toddmuehleip9250]

My 7 shank is a Glencoe no collector .I stretched the frame out to let cornstalks flow through tne shanks otherwise it was a dump rake. I somtimes use it almost like a subsoiler with a modern 190 hp tractor. 3 inch cylinder is what I have. Enjoy channel always

[@rodneyvlieger9923]

Skip any liquid in the rear wheels. Put on cast iron, you can adjust your weight a whole lot easier. Also tire repairs whether you DIY or have tire shop do them are a whole lot cheaper/easier & less messy! Just thoughts from years ago growing up on the farm. Them sizes of tractor tires are fairly easy to handle, not taller than the average guy! They now have manual rim clamp bead breakers and with battery impacts a couple of tire spoons and soft faced sledge hammer help make quick work of tire repair.

[@jonathancrissinger2301]

That was awesome. Thanks for sharing. Had the smoke rolling alittle. 😂😂. See you later.

Pulled an 11 shank fully mounted with a 766, white cab back in the day. Then followed with field cultivator do all with rolling baskets. Been zero till on all acres since early 1990s, I sure don't miss tillage!

[@FarmallFanatic]

Yeah, I heard the fully mounted ones pull much easier

[@andyg3240]

I don’t miss depending on 86 & 66 series IH tractors. Torque amplifier and transmission & rear end problems. Run John Deere equipment these days. Might be fun to hobby farm with but not to make a living on.

That 826 is worth a lot because it's still a practical tractor for a farm to own and work daily! I wonder how the 756 would do dragging the plow around?

[@cafekiva7892]

Interesting because it's essentially suited to YEOMANS water retention use. Run it on grade in 40-50- ft parallel passes and you can catch a lot of soil-producing moisture in the A-horizon. It's the key to establishing a fruit orchard or windbreak.

[@FarmallFanatic]

[@FarmallFanatic]

[@scottpecora371]

There are definitely advantages to diesel. People rarely understand that a diesel essentiall runs full throttle or full air, and then power output is determined by the amount of fuel added in the cylinder. Gas engines unless under full throttle operate with restricted airflow so the proper fuel/air mixture can be maintained which is then lit by the sparkplug. So unless you're essentially floored with a gas engine, they are always running at a restricted power setting. Then, with a diesel, add a turbocharger. Since there is no air restriction with a diesel, the turbo can be spooled up at all times. The more fuel added, the higher the exhaust pressure or exhaust velocity which can dramatically increase the intake volume of air, which has the effect of increasing compression which equates to more heat, more power, more efficiency. Even non turbocharged diesels are very fuel efficient, especially the old two cylinder John Deeres. Because of their very slow engine speed combined with a very large and very long piston stroke allowed the engine to extract all the energy and convery it to high torque output. There were certainly limits tothis design, but for things like plowing, or other continously heavy loads. Watch the last of the series, a diesel 830, turning about 1400rpm if that and its pulling a 4-5 bottom plow and it doesn't even sound labored. There was a reason old time farmers loved their Jonny Poppers, they sipped fuel. Down south farmers used to run them on peanut, corn, vegetable oils, or kerosene, or jet fuel when you could drive onto a local airport that serviced jets or Turbo props and ask them to fill up your farm tank with Jet-A kerosene 12 cents a gallon until the 1970's. Thats why all the jet-liners use to fly around at .92 mach, or 650mph. Even DC10s first flew at 600+mph, and Convair 880's and 990's routinely flirted with .97-98 mach. Fuel was cheap, simply light the blow-torches and go like hell. My father flew DC-9's in the mid 1960's until the mid 70's. They would reach cruise and then when they started to decend they'd leave the power on until they started getting the mach clackers going off warning you were just about to go supersonic then they'd just pull back enough power to keep from going mach 1. He said everyone did, that was just normal flying with 12 cent fuel. Time was more important than fuel. Now fuel consumption is everything!

[@FarmallFanatic]

Another thing about diesel is they mostly don't use fuel

[@kh2140]

Farmall M is my favorite antique tractor.

[@FarmallFanatic]

Powerful 💪

[@tyfrank3427]

The 826 just plays with it. With the 06 series, we usually go in 3L to chisel. We usually chisel twice and go on an angle once. It really helps break it up. Your ground seems to break up good. Also, we use harrows behind them. they are often mounted right to the cultivator here.

[@FarmallFanatic]

So chisel twice?

[@tyfrank3427]

@@FarmallFanatic Yes as a rule. We always go on an angle the second time because it's too rough riding if you don't, plus it breaks up the ground better. Your cultivator will automatically drop a bit.

[@lynnmitzy1643]

❤ooooh the Red Power is strong with this one 💪🏼❤

[@nathanalmond8280]

Ole 826 is doing good with it. I knew it would I pulled a 10 shank John Deere 3 point hitch with mine before I got the 1066 and I don't have depth wheels on it. I pulled it in easy ground in low 4 high torque and in tight ground low 3rd high torque so the temperature wouldn't get too hot. I always like to chisel plow one way and then go across it on an angle and take care of any ridges and skips then disc it and that will help get it down level and in order for planting. Good luck.

[@FarmallFanatic]

What you said seems to be the consensus

[@nathanalmond8280]

[@mmielcarek3046]

Like the line of attachments/tools. Uncle finally put crushed stone on the ground to slow the weeds down. slow the rust from being in the dirt. Grease fittings you only wipe them off before you grease them. The amount of dust it collects keeps the zerk ball shiny.

Oh man, that 826 brings back memories. Growing up, a cousin of my Grandpa had a an 826 as his primary tractor. I have ridden quite a bit on that 826 with him. It was a very good tractor and he sold it when he retired. It would keep pace with the JD 4020s. Now we had John Deere tractors and equipment because my Dad was a JD mechanic. So he would have disowned us had we had IH equipment😂. But Farmall and IH was good stuff.

[@hturbo1007]

You want that chisel plow to do a nicer job, put three inch twist shovels on it then run the tractor in four low when plowing. It all depends on how much trash you want on top to prevent erosion.

[@AJmx2702001]

The best thing in the spring with a chisel is just stir the dirt and definitely hit it with a disk in a few days to seal the top up.. the more you use the chisel the easier it will get since your moldboard over years of use leaves a compaction layer so just try to break the layer the plow left.. I have one place with a dead furrow that you can still feel with 45 years of chisel going over it

[@FarmallFanatic]

That does make sense

@@FarmallFanatic only thing I think you may not like is from my experience you have more weed pressure after chisel plowing because it just mixes the dirt up doesn't really turn it completely over and eliminate weed growth like a moldboard plow will. We chisel plowed every other year and just disced on opposite years with offset disc still had better weed control then no-till planting.

[@duncand5148]

I ENJOYED THIS VIDEO!!! I was wrong about the MTA. And now seeing and hearing the 826 pull, I’m questioning whether or not the 400 will??? IDK. Might not be a good idea to pull it with either. I guess it’s something to the 10 or more per shank rule??? One thing for sure., that’s a VERY NICE chisel plow you bought. No doubt about that. That was a very nice find indeed.

I had to put a 4” cylinder on my 14’ disk for my M and then it lifted it fine. I pull a 10 shank with the D19 Allis but it’s a 3pt.
