I could watch plowing for hours. It seems to relax me and reminds me of my boyhood days on the farm. They were some of the best times of my life.

I always loved plowing so mesmerizing and peaceful and the smell of freshly turned soil

The tractor and plow are like good dancing partner. Thanks for the great video.

Nice equipment , doing a great job

My grandfather owned a dairy farm parents were brought up on farms but they never Farm themselves. I believe it's in my blood to be a farmer because I personally would love nothing else better than to be out in those fields. Working from home instead of being on the highway in rush hour traffic every day. As a young boy I spent many hours out in the fields with my grandfather plowing baling hay seating and it was hard work but I loved every minute of it. Sure lots of my friends and family said buy a farm but to start from scratch seems like an Impossible Dream plus the hard times the farmers have these days it's just going to be a dream. God bless the farmers without them in this day and age we would starve and that's why they deserved more help from our government.

Those flat top fenders is where a young man gets a good education. I ride in our 806 a lot of hours just like him . God bless and hang on or hook your boots under the seat.

I spent the best times of my childhood on the fenders of a 1932 Allis-Chalmers.

I just love moldboard plowing! Great job on the video!

Raised on a dairy farm, 1967 international 706 diesel plowing with international 5 -14’s. We farmed 700 acres, I spent lot of 20 hr days turning over dirt. Thanks for the video!!!

I've ridden along on that other fender with you guys many times 🙂

I love watching a mold board plow in action. Here in southern Missouri we use to do that every spring. The bigest we ever had was a 3 bottom though. Thanks for sharing.

That’s music to the ears!

As a teenager I spent a bunch of hours on an IH 560 pulling 5 14's. I look back on it now and wish I could do some more of it.

I just love see ground turned with a plow. it take me back about three score years. man what beautiful soil . the best to farm people who ever you are and where ever you live . the best to this family . my first time seeing you all .

Some good ploughing there, and the soil was lovely.. almost ready to put the seed drill straight on it.

Began my career on an 860 Ford with 3-14s. Got a little older and was promoted to 460 International with 3-16s. OMG talk about pig heaven. Loved plowing under vetch and red clover.

Set just right!!!

Great job very clean. My granddad would be proud of your job!

Keith, thanks for your response. Yes, I have worn many free caps in my career, including jd ones. (My first 1 was an ih cap). I asked about the plow because it looked like your tractor could handle more than 4 bottoms. I had an 806 and pulled 5 16s. Good watching someone working the ground. I am no longer farming and the smell of the the turned dirt is something I miss. Milt

Hey guys, good to see you finally got comments enabled on your videos! Engaging tractor nerd mode here, that's an IH 550 plow which was originally a 5 bottom. Obviously the rear bottom was removed to reduce it to 4 so now it's a 540 "in spirit." Looks like the 856 barely even notices it, could easily handle 5, possibly even 6 bottoms in that ground. I'm not a big fan of pulling the guts out of 50 year old equipment if you don't have to, so I'd call it a perfect match.

I love to watch the dirt roll. Gradually going away with the no till.

great video Keith. I loved riding on the tractor when I was a young boy. I spent countless days plowing when I got older too. Thats a beaut farm Y'All have there

Watching a plow to me is like watching a fire or a stream. It's mesmerizing.

About 45 years ago, a friend bought a 40 acre farm 45 miles from my small farm. He asked if I could load up my old Farmall H and 2 bottom plow and plow one of his fields. I agreed. When I was finished plowing, I noticed that my wallet was no longer in my back pocket. Well, that's the end of that wallet. Turned under for sure. About 10 years later I got a call from my friend. He had bought his own tractor and when plowing the same field, he turned up my wallet. What are the odds? Everything in the wallet was in pretty good shape.

Thanks for sharing the video! I plowed many acres with a 540 4x14" plow behind our 656. Miss those days!

I really enjoy watching y’all the whole family seems to like what y’all do.

Nice plowing video! Always enjoy watching that older IH equipment.

Just watching that dirt turn over love it

Dad loved plowing, he loved the smell of the fresh turned earth.

Nice work sir trash all buried

Great camera work! I appreciate all of the interesting angles shown. The slow-mo work was nice too.

Дуже гарно спостерігати, як працює стара техніка. Гарна робота, цікаве відео. Greetings from Ukraine 🇺🇦✌️

woooow you guys are doing a great job. the tractor sounds perfect and the plow is just unbelievabls .....thums up guys keep the good work.i have my 744 international but am have hardships with spares and a good mechanic.

Good job . dads pretty good at it too . like them lines

Nice job , buried everything , lovely soil for ploughing .

Thank you for your videos really enjoy them

Good job, people!!! Cheers from Argentina!!

great video, i loved it

Had that same plow with an 806 D . 540 IH plow. We have clay soil hills and sandy creek bottoms. Turning 115 hp. Used on Oliver 5-16 plow for flat ground. Worked very well.

Thats a really nice job you are making there.....that plough is a nice bit of kit too so is the tractor.

Thank you, loved it.

Man, your dad runs that plow with such precision.. he's good.

i love plowing videos, not many farms do it it any more.

Looks like it plows good

The soil you have is lovely much better than the shale I was in today.

Grew up on a mostly IH farm, but we must have had much tougher ground. We only plowed the terraces to keep them up, so we had a 4-16 plow. Our 856 could barely pull it fast enough to keep the soil rolling. One year Dad tried to use our 706, and that was the beginning of the end for it. We had bought it somewhat recently under the impression it had been overhauled; turns out, it wasn't and had been band-aided together to sell it. That was too bad, I really liked that 706. Later we replaced the 856 with a 1456 that was turned up a little, what a difference. Could pull that plow in HI 1st all day. Could also pull the neighbors V-Ripper with all 7 shanks in the ground 20+ inches deep, as long as we put all the weights we had on the front.

Nice video, a good job your plow is set right the points look sharp smooth plowing. Growing up the largest plow we had was a Massey Ferguson 4.16's moldbold plow pulled behind a Massey Ferguson 285. Today I have the same plow MF 4.16's pulled behind a 1990 Massey Ferguson 3070. I believe my MF 3070 could handle a 5.16's moldboard plow in the sod ground we have around here with no problem. Which some is packed tight clay. I always enjoy plowing. Your International sounds and did good. My Grandpa always had Internationals. My dad had Massey Ferguson's.

Thats a nice plow! I still plow with the same model on our produce farm. Could try sliding it over 2” or so towards the furrow though. She’s taking a big bite on that first bottom. I did it on mine since we always use the same tractor now. Made it look like plush carpet. Good vid! Not a shaky mess!!!

The plow is adjusted properly. It is doing an excellent job of turning over evenly distributed bottems.

Nice texture to your soil, having it in grass keeps the organic matter percentage higher.

That plow and dirt are AWSOME !!! I don't know where u are at but that soil has oat field wrote all over it . I have always wanted to bottom plow mine but I would pull to many rocks up . Lol. Nice video!

My grandparents had a farm years ago. We had a IH 656 with a IH 540 plow chief 4-14. Could only plow about 1 acre an hour spent a long time on that old tractor. A few years later I was interviewing for a job on a large scale dairy operation the owner asked how many acres I had plowed I told him approximately 120 he said that just one field on his farm. Then I told him what I was using and how slow we had to go per my grandfather instructions. His eyes lit up and I got the job. He said old school is the best training possible. I worked there for 2 years before he sold the farm

Those IH diesels were the best.

Plow is set up perfect, great soil, and a great tractor. What more could a farmer want?

I always go center out alternating with edge in to ferry less in between rows.

Not a rut - it is called a furrow. An 856 normally pulls a 5 bottom and in some soils it would pull a 6. I have seen one pulling a 4 bottom but that was in Black River Gumbo soil. That ground would make any tractor say TOO MUCH - TOO MUCH! You can put a 5th bottom back on the rear of the frame you could find one laying around.

Hello from Warriors Mark Pa.

I think we have that plow. We only use it once in a blue moon, but it does all the work. I hate hooking up the 3 point hitch for it though =p

That's our plow... with our tractor... wth? At least you all have good taste =p (a little bit different tractor, but not bad)

If it's not red, leave it in the shed!

My father would say that every plow bottom was another gallon of gasoline an hour. His old JD model A used 3 gallons of gas an hour. He never understood that it is acres plowed per gallon of gas or acres per hour that counts.

Many, many, many hours on an 826 pulling exact same 4 bottoms.

Hi Kieth- What variety Sudangrass do you drill? I just bought (110 mile round trip to Albert Lea, MN) three 50lb. bags of Hybrid Viking 100 Sorghum/Sudangrass for Green Manure/cover cropping to get flailed and eventually worked into soil, for veggie production.

Like buttah!

It appears as if it was shortened from a 5 bottom model

Technically its not called a "rut".....its a "furrow". Plus...the steady 'ole 56 Binder is just toyin with the 4 bottom. Sounds like he's crackin only about 1500 to 1600 RPM....just like my dad plowed with his 1800 oliver 3pt 4 bottom....when he had it where she was plowing perfect the top 3 point link would just quiver and he rarely had to touch the steering wheel. Nice job sir.

We used to plow everything except bean ground. My brother went minimum till in 81. The young farmers around here don't know how to plow.

All the new tractors have "jump seats". When I grew up we had fenders...

Finally, a video of someone moldboard plowing with perfect ground moisture, decent speed (not 100 miles an hour). Nice JD cap. My dad had a 4 bottom plow exactly like yours, is yours a 510? And what model tractor? 656?

@KeithFinkFamilyFarm

Thank you. The JD hat was free from Deere, so I'll wear it, ha! The tractor is an 856. Technically, it could handle more than a 4 bottom plow, but I think it's a good match for our soil and terrain. Not sure what model the plow is, could very well be a 510. I'd run out back and take a look but it's pouring rain right now and I'd rather not get my hat wet.

Ever have to use a subsoiler to get the hardpan broken up under the surface? Watching, and making plans to own my own patch of ground in the future, so I have no clue about some tools of the trade, or how effective they are.

@KeithFinkFamilyFarm

We've never had to use a subsoiler. I suppose it would depend on soil type and machine traffic on the field. Our soil is well-drained with a mostly sandy sub soil.

Looks to me like you need to tighten up the bearings in the right front wheel

Plow needs moving about ten inches to the right

Although our dairy farm has been in the family since 1890, it didn't have its official name (Organ Echoes Dairy) until the very early 1970s when my dad gave it that moniker. As a kid, dad taught himself how to play the organ. He has been a church organist ever since. Of course, dad had an organ in the living room and would play very early in the morning and throughout the day when he was taking a break from the farm. He played loudly and in the pleasant weather months when the windows were open we (and the neighbors) could hear organ music echoing off the surrounding hills. It was probably a comment from a family member or a neighbor about the echoing organ music that caused him to give that name to the farm. Dad has long since retired from the farm and now lives in town, he's approaching 90 years old but he still has an organ in the house and he still plays almost weekly in church. Where was your farm in VT? Earlier this year Laura and I visited VT and stopped in at the Billings Farm and visited with their Jerseys. Keith-
