[@davevonmuenster6649]

Thanks for your opening remarks. Loved seeing your son with the grease gun. Nice plowing video. Love your family.

[@bradfordricher3685]

Great video as always.

[@hillfamilyfarms1962]

Plow On! Love to watch you work.

[@JeffTopel]

I love your comments about the comments. Thanks for all you do.

[@mikekuhn6216]

I too love to watch your plowing videos. I started plowing at the age of 10 on dad's WD Allis pulling a John Deere trip plow, 2-14s. It was an adventure plus a learning experience. He struck all the lands and finished the dead furrows. Fall plowing worked up so well in Spring; almost like our garden. Go for it, Alan!

[@PTC61]

A real nice video! I promise you, your kids, grandchildren, and great grandchildren will watch this video decades from now. I feel fortunate. There are a few clips on 8 mm of Dad chopping corn and filling silos back on a farmall H was the big horse. probably 30 seconds total. That 8 mm film and processing was darn expensive back in the day :-) even though they’re short I enjoy watching them. Yours will be a treasure. Thanks for sharing it with us!

[@gatorguy7711]

Keep those tractors rolling!! Farm the way that works best for you and your operation. Take care...

[@HFarms1955]

Only folks giving comments on a 10 pulling 6 are the guys that drive or pull their green tractors!😁 They are just jealous!! Keep on keeping on bud!!! Got 3 older Ih tractors here, wouldn't trade up for nothing!!!! My "BABY " Is my 1586, love that ole girl! Be safe my friend!

[@Joey966]

You aint gonna hurt that 1066, thats what that tractor was made for, if it cant pull it would just spin wont hurt it.

[@davidbarnes706]

Both tractors and both sets of plows did a beautiful job of turning the corn stalks and grass under

[@johngerlach4580]

Great video Al and Paul, looks like it's doing a fantastic job. Love to watch those big reds at work!

[@philipr7686]

The Montana visit again. That's a nice gig he has.

[@trinitydairy]

He's ready to move out there.

[@philipr7686]

Brother Pete moved to Great Falls around 1983. Hasn't looked back.

[@aaronwood8134]

Paul is a good one always seems like he is always there to help you out

[@charlieconnor1490]

You are doing a great job, just do it how you think it needs, it's your farm. I enjoy watching you all. Thanks for sharing

[@boe4448]

TD, Well said. I have many hours plowing and I get the therapeutic aspect. Nice to see your boys working and learning. One of the best things my father thought me how to work and maintain equipment. Thanks, Boe

[@jeffhollingshead8299]

I'm glad you can laugh at these couch farmer want a be

[@ThomasDrehfal]

Yes, there is something therapeutic about plowing. We did many years of plowing with a JD 630 and a three-bottom plow. Turn on the lights and hear that 630 work into the dark hours. Those 1256 and 1066's were/are very good tractors.

[@yohannfoure3478]

hi from france very beautiful video thank you

[@troyshoup3695]

Plowing makes a good operator for all other dirt turning tools.!

[@stephencorleymississippili4007]

I enjoy plowing videos where I can hear the diesel engines running. It’s relaxing and usually puts me to sleep.

[@larryorf5023]

You sir are definitely not hurting either one of those tractors anyone that knows anything can tell those engines are running so free in this video good job

[@seanconnolly7576]

Great job and yes I’m one those guys that will watch an entire 2 hrs of plowing, one of my favourite things to do each year

[@johnhenderson299]

Great video older red iron working like it did 50 years ago

[@Ronfjc]

You have made my day. In this world, there are several layers of people. On here, you nailed 4. Great channel by the way. I hope you have a great growing season

[@richdillon2157]

I have to agree with you 100% on the relaxation of Plowing Fields. It had to be my favorite job on the farm, I would start Plowing after evening milking and go till 2 or 3 in the morning. I kinda got Chewed on for plowing so late, But it was mt Therapy. I really love turning over new ground or old hay feilds, Had to be the best. Thanks for sharing this video, Has brought back many great memories.

[@rod_schueller]

Yes, I would love a two-hour video of moldboard plowing. No till fields usually look horrible, but I respect those who farm that way. RED POWER!! 1066s are The Kings. Everyone I have ever met would take them over the 14s and 15s. Thanks, Alan. You made my morning.

[@mywoolmitten]

I enjoy your videos so much and appreciate that you all take the time to make them. Thank you! Plus, had to laugh at the "no till mafia" 😂

[@anthonybarton2103]

Beautiful soil

[@808TheDuck]

Great video, Brother! Love watching those two old binders running up against the governor and putting in the work. Obviously, they can handle despite the naysayers. Very much enjoyed your comments on some of the other comments you receive. I was cracking up listening to that. Prayers for you and your family and the farm. Looking forward to a good planting and bountiful harvest. God Bless!

[@PrinceJ933]

Now this Big Red, double team plowing is really cool; sights and sounds!

[@doublejfarmshomestead4501]

I’d watch Alan whittle a stick and enjoy it. We love your videos. We really appreciate y’all.

[@samjohnson5656]

No Till Mafia 😂🤣😅 Do what works for you!!! Nice show. Keep it up!!!

[@ronniewayne5748]

Very cool video!!!

[@beacherater]

Love the sound of the big red power! Obviously those two tractors handle the plows with ease!

[@leonjennings4632]

First I Really Like Your Dairy Set Up.If It's Working For You Then That's Wonderful I'm 63 Years Old And Live In Pennsylvania Northeast Pa. I Worked On Dairy Farms In My Younger Days My Mother Used To Take Me To Work I Started At 12 yrs and Learned Each Farmer Has His Way Of Doing Things If It's Not Broken Don't Fix It Everyone Has Their Own Way of Doing it.I Really Enjoy Your Family And Farm Thanks For The Videos Blessings And Please Be Safe ✌️

[@StevenMeckstroth]

It is your farm. Don't worry what others say. Do it your way.

[@karencary3312]

Plow on my friend. Plow on. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@garycook8931]

Oh yes the mold board plowing enjoyed it growing up. Love to watch it we had a 1066 we pulled 5 14s. You should be fine with the 6 16s

[@HowardFarms1]

Love the vids. Just keep doing what you know. Your a good farmer. And a good dairy man.

[@lawrenceb.3349]

I can watch plowing all day long.

[@derrickzenner9300]

Great video thx

[@cz_ww2117]

No till Mafia, I like that. Keep plowing, it's your farm. Number of bottoms, depends on the soil type, if it works for you, go for it.

[@govegasorgofarmin7942]

Had a neighbor that had a brillion roller hooked to the plow. He planted some of his corn behind that plow/roller pass. Seemed like it worked quite well for em

[@dennisdole1764]

I can smell the dirt coming out of my IPad 😂. Love you all ❤

[@shelliewhitaker8935]

I try to plow at least 40 acres every year and it always has the best weed control

[@JeffPeickert]

Looks good . I rather watch old Iorn then the new stuff that is why I like your Channel.

[@nailedt0thecr0ss]

Love the equipment. Seriously.

[@EpicWhitetailHabitatLLC]

Great video, Alen! You'll always have naysayers even when the proof is right in front of them. Even in my business and videos.

[@joshmichaud9330]

Don't worry about it, you cant kill those tractors.

[@williamkemm673]

You are oh so correct on a great video!!! I worked on a farm and we mainly chisel plowed and they farmed about 2600 acres and everything was chiseled, we had 2 IH 1586 which where definitely work horses! I also pulled soil samples for about 12 years, and we just dreaded it when we pull up on a no-till field UHG! The farmers I worked for were very good and they called the no tillers, NO SKILL!!!

[@rubenmanitowabi5671]

Boy howdy there’s some years I think my ground grows more rocks than hay I’ve been picking rocks for 30 years lol

[@kjmatson3721]

I love your videos!! Brings back many memories of the 1066 I use to plow and do all kinds of farm work with. Thank you

[@amandaweitzel1648]

Git R Done!!!!!!!!👍👍👍

[@johnwood7372]

Those furrows are so smooth you don’t need to harrow before planting.😊😊😊

[@faFsman]

I agree, as we would say in Ireland ‘you could till that ground with a bang from your cap’ Good stuff Trinity Dairy

[@richardjohnson5883]

Just mount a camera on the tractor and record the whole day!! It’s your land,your equipment. You know it better than anyone. That plow is what your 1066 is designed to do.

[@williamhitchcock2360]

Plowing looked great to me. I noticed that the corn stubble was really high--I know you have rocks in some of your fields, but in some places the cutter head on your chopper could be a little lower (2 to 3 inches). No big deal and I sure you know best. Keep up the good work--you have a great family.

[@ianrobertson4616]

ploughing looks great you could almost plant right into it. farm I grew up on is real heavy clay, if you don't plow it, you grow next to nothing. a few guys tried no till and went back to tillage after a few years.

[@michaellynskey7124]

Always used the new Holland 841 round baler right from early 1980’s, For contract baling mainly straw hay and silage never ever had any problems probably because it was brand new🇬🇧🇮🇪.

[@bryanginder5903]

That tractor should have no problem pulling that plow! We have a JD 4520 that pulls a 7 16 with a inland hitch and it pulls it like nothing!

[@teresadroessler9872]

Beautiful video with the clouds and trees in the background,love your videos thanks for sharing

[@philipjohnston5997]

It's very nice job, looks flat, i like plowing good to get rid of weeds

[@farmerdans8403]

Somewhere I have a IH brochure with a 1066 open station pulling a 6 bottom on land hitch. If i find it I'll send you a picture. 11 bottoms don't take long to cover some ground. Your biggest fan Alan sends a big thums up👍. Keep up the good work. Dan and Alan.

[@dannewton4637]

I have an 856 Wheatland that I pull 5x16’s on land with. Has no issues in my clay and hills. I don’t set any speed records, but you don’t wanna go too fast anyway when moldboard plowing. Most people don’t understand the lugging power of the Old Iron tractors from the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s. IH had some amazing pulling power! Just keep using your equipment the way you know best and don’t worry about the negative comments. I’m one of those subscribers that would gladly watch a 2 hour plowing video. Keep em coming! Great video too. God Bless

[@Chico-td2fy]

Those tractors sound great! Just chuggin along 🐂🐃🐄 very nice camera work 😊

[@robertvruwink2654]

Farmall fanatic would love this video.

[@mikei2141]

Thanks for sharing! I like the pvc pipe gps idea!

[@alfredomarotta6604]

Was going to say the same, farmer ingenuity 😊

[@trentonromig9765]

We use our 1066s we have used 4 and 5 bottoms definitely could pull a six bottom if I had duels like you

[@gordoncarpenter1552]

We had a guy by us start out farming with a 806 brand new in the custom business turbocharger and propane pulling a plow like yours and fill many silos and if there were a tractor pull unhook and pull 1st place he was still running it at 12000 hrs now he is at 6000 acres of corn and beans 78yrs old and just bought another 80acres

[@mennoreuten1563]

Who wants to here my opinion, thanks and greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer

[@trinitydairy]

I'm open to everyone's opinion.

[@mennoreuten1563]

Thats very nice to hear

[@larryklostermann5779]

Nice video, the 10 pulls that plow great!

[@nine2nite102]

Tell ‘em it’s not how ‘how to’ video it’s a ‘We do’ video! 👍

[@curtiswolf313]

I still can't get over how many rocks you have there. We don't have very many here where l'm from. Veeser Cattle has some whoppers in Michigan.

[@kevinwilliams563]

I am no expert Allan but it looks to me like the old girl was pulling that plow just fine. In any case it’s your farm and you know that ground the best.

[@JGDIXON88]

Love the videos Alan and Jen. My Grandfather plowed with a 4x16 john deere plow behind and David Brown 990 with a 1200 engine in it. That kept people guessing.

[@MattMoeller-db1ze]

My grandpa pulled a six bottom plow for years with a 1066.

[@br927]

I'm a moldboard guy! Notill- compaction, needs to be moldboarded every few years! I love to plow, I'd live in the tractor! It's not like you're plowing right down to the beams like some of the old farmers would! My Philosophy is" I like my way of doing it, better than your way of not doing it! We bought a brand-new MF 178, right from England, went up to the ST. Larwance and got it off the ship, bought it to pull a IH 5-16"s , it would barely do it, went to and auction and bought a good used Allis XT190, no problem! this was in the early 70's

[@virginiagraber9070]

Awesome soil, Moldboard Plowing IH 1256 @ IH 1066 .👌Thank You. (Digger)

[@JerrySanders-qq4tp]

Way to go Allen,keep doing what you do. love to watch videos I used to plow with Farmall A single bottom plow, Keep up the good work!

[@richardheinen1126]

Just make em all happy, start calling your system “no-till plowing” or “moldboard strip till” 🤣

[@williambaumann]

Nice video remind me like when I was a kid on my cousin farm up in North Central Wisconsin u need a utility truck carry welder a air compressor tools grinder screw drivers drill bits plus drills hammers pilers vise grips etc Nice video two way radios for tractors and trucks

[@secondchance4498]

People should adjust their no till argument when it's on a dairy farm that has a lot of muck to spread back into the field.

[@dalebennett9867]

Well from what little I know about plowing I'd say your doing good looks like it's breaking up good I'm in north west pa and most ground you see plowed here is more like clay and lakes in long strips behind plow don't break up so good God bless your stops for a good harvest

[@gregkortbein5108]

Do what works for you. The ground is plowing up nice. By the way I am probably considered part of the No-Till mafia This is my 30th year of continuous No-Till. Would never go back. God Bless.

[@trinitydairy]

If it's working good for you, that's awesome!

[@michaelforand]

great looking field

[@anthonyhengst2908]

I'm one of those that loves moldboard plowing too. I'm taking to heart your thoughts of rocks and diggers and I'll keep on mold board plowing on our rocky clay hills. I'd be tempted to take that International to a dyno and see what it can do. Maybe shut up some naysayers. At idle it sure sounds damn good to me.

[@scottharvold6286]

I can tell you know how to set up a plow just by looking at the front tires on the tractor !

[@rickylarsen5009]

Had neighbor that had a 1066 he pulled 7 bottom. Granted were I'm from we have lighter soil. Central minnesota

[@karljacobson1575]

Those 1066 s run great and 6-16 isn’t too much. Soil type is the difference,, I’ve plowed many acres . Enjoy your channel: ya lot of armchair wanna be s on here I’m sure: I’ve been farming for 50 plus years in Kansas--- neighbor had a 1456 and 6 bottom in some clay hill ground - it pulled it but u knew it was back there- low 4 ta back:::: I still have a 1066- that ground is plowing nice!!!!

[@mikiekirby8126]

Looks like the old turbo is turning that ground pretty easy

[@FreeloaderFarms]

I guess I'm one that loves plowing. I just picked up a oliver 4340 3-14 plow for nothing from the guy next door, my grandpa actually sold it to him and now its back at our farm. I think tillage is better. Grandpa did no-till for a few years but we realized yields were better with tillage, we have good soil and theres plenty of people around us that no-till with good luck, we just got sick of it. They may say we're wasting money on tillage but in my opinion they're wasting just as much on chemicals for no-till. We are happy with the John deere 714 chisel, and I'm hoping to use my plow on my first ground next year. Thanks for the video!

[@kellywilson8440]

That ole girl will pull 6/16" like you said in the right soil , We had a stock 1066 and we pulled a john deere 2700 5/18"s in 3rd low not much issue maybe a little air time on the front pulling thru the hills haha , Good video as always and regards from Ohio !

[@countryboy3201]

Nice video

[@williammatzek4660]

Allen i'm not a fan of no till either. But one of the quarters in this section has a very sandy area , it is good for that. John Deere would tell you a 4020 will pull 5-16 semi mounted plow. On this farm we live on. About half it will pull it , the other half it would not.

[@tedjenson9294]

We pulled a 6-18's with a 1070 Case, in sand or clay. Only time I had trouble was plowing up a 30 year old alfalfa field. I ended up with a 4-14 and that was all it could handle in that!

[@Ironvalleylarry]

Those alfalfa roots can go to China after that long

[@allanvaneste9106]

Some people just don't understand what Red Power is all about. Lol. The 1066 sure didn't look like it was struggling with 6 bottoms.

[@pauladasiewicz4439]

We used to pull 5 bottoms with a 806 ,tractor has over 25k hours on it and never had any major issues

[@richardpoorbaugh9077]

Great video as always, I looked up the horse power on the 1066. They run between 120 and 150 horsepower.

[@LynnKorte-ve4qf]

By skipping every other year from different plowing,he was banking up his surface compost and then burying it the second year ,it worked out the best on his yields that second year,a bumper crop yeild
