Things change with time. I spent many hours plowing land that looked just like that between Littlefield and Muleshoe back in the early 60s. The John Deere I drove didn't have a heated cab, though; it used canvas to direct the heat from the engine towards the seat. Your video brought back some good memories. Thanks for the ride.

Nice job, buddy. I worked on the wheat fields for a summer in Western New South Wales, Australia. Long, long rows on an open tractor. 38°c. (100f) Very relaxing, but we had to watch out for sunburn! In those days, I used spring tined harrows.

Nice video, writing from Australia, may I ask what you call that machine as to me its not a mould board plough, We direct drill everything in our farming area, so dont have machines like yours here in South Australia.

New to your channel, thanks for sharing your 👍 🚜 farming experience plowing the land, and thanks for sharing your thoughts and comments with us 🇺🇸,

What kind of bottoms are those? Never saw square bottoms. I come from plowing upstate NY in small rocky fields with 3 bottoms on JD 60. No GPS or gizmos, just old farmin' and knowin' nature.

Great plough. You dont see swing ploughs overhere, mostly mounted reversable or semi mounted reversible. 👍

Beautiful plowing!

Nice work ! Do you plow most of your farm ground ?

I remember mile-long rows in the panhandle area of Texas...Are you using technology (GPS) to keep your tractor on the straight and narrow?

LOL, I have the exact same air hose adaptor as shown at 10:35 . Even down to the red 1/4 inch coupler.

Man those stalks are hard on the tires, i see cord showing in that one tire, like you said previously it would have been flailed. I know in Europe they run a flail on the front of the tractor ahead of the plow

I was born in the city but at 7yo I would wake up at 5am to watch a show called Modern Farmer. I’m 66yo and still wish I became one.

480k people united to watch a tractor plow. Happy to be here

why are NOT using regular 16" mold board 16" deep?

We had snow a week ago and field work has started here in Northern nv

That must be some hard ground. I grew up on a farm in Minnesota and it seems we pulled 6 bottom 18" plow with around a 90 HP diesel IH tractor and I can't remember it really ever struggling with it. It was either a 966 or 1066...can't remember for sure. Long time ago.

I’d love to run a sifter on the back of a tractor and just go over all his land. The rock hound in me is drooling at the prospect.

You come in about a field a mile long. That’s all we had. You could cut them up a little bit if you wanted into 320 or 160, but the funny part is you’re talking about the length of time to get to the other end I remember as a young boy driving up all Farmall and we pulled a two bottom plow and second gear. It was an hour and 30 minutes round-trip for four bottoms total. If you figure it out on 30 inch rows, then four rows a mile long are right at exactly an acre. That was in north central Illinois where are black gumbo is 8 feet deep. Sometimes we get a black loam, but very seldom see rocks and just a little bit of clay every once in a great while. Didn’t seem long and I was driving our articulating four-wheel-drive with 575 hp, pulling a 10 bottom by 18” moldboard plow, May be old but still memory works good. PS, we never needed Def either.

The number of armchair farmers making "I know better than you" comments here is humorous. Some people fail to consider the different crops, locations, and conditions require different techniques in order to farm efficiently and productively. So many people get on a "you must do it this way" bandwagon without fully understanding what they're talking about. Videos about moldboard plowing seem to get this crowd particularly stirred up. I guess they think that farming with chemicals is always better in every situation . . . Nice video here. It's neat seeing how different crops are grown compared to what we raise here on our farm in Kansas.
