Plowing with middle busters on a Farmall Super C (2023)

International C18 middle busters mounted on a 1953 Super C. The ground was very dry and did not plow well. After a rain, I'll probably replow this field.

    I remember sitting on the fender when I was a kid while my dad was doing this. I thought it was so cool on the first pass down. Those busters were the only plows that I didn’t plow with. I finally tried it once in high school, and my rows both wide and narrow, 😂. We actually had a B and a C. I started driving the B when I was three years old. My dad showed me how to drive it, and I fell in love with it. He turned me loose in a field to disc,…and he left me to go do other work on our farm. The C had all of the plows for it,…a disc, 2 row busters, planters with fertilizer box, front and rear cultivators, a shredder, and a four wheeled farm trailer. The B had a middle buster that we never used. We pulled the disc and shredder with it sometimes. We had a John Deere sickle mower that we towed behind it for cutting hay. As a kid,…that was all I ever wanted to do. I loved spending my Saturdays out there as well. I sure do miss it sometimes. Leonard

    Lol I bought one of these at a farm sale that is 2 point that fits my 300 Farmall. I had no idea what the heck it was for. It's 2 shank just like yours but obviously it cuts directly behind my tires. Great video

    I love watching these old McCormick implements work as much as the tractors. Thanks for posting!

    I find it enjoyable versus just looking at a static display.

    Great video! Looks your part of Texas can use about a few inches of rain like mine!

    Thanks! Yes, definitely. No rain in the forecast for at least another week.

    I liked driving the Super C when I was a kid. Steered so easy, almost like power steering.

    I agree. It's the easiest steering of all my non power steering tractors.

    I got a set of these but I have never middle busted like that with them. I couldn’t judge where the next set of rows would be. I always went down and turned around then put my center wheels in the next furrow.

    I understand what you're saying. Having the old existing rows in place is a big help. I like to disk lightly after harvest so that enough of the old stalks remain in place so that I can use them to sight by when plowing. It seems a bit unusual at first since the front wheels run on top of the old row on the first time through and then in the furrow when picking up the skipped rows.

    Nice set up. Do you know where to get the wings and share for those middle busters? I got one but it about wore out.

    Thanks, Cody. I haven't tried to find new ones so I don't know if they are available or not. Around here, old ones show up at local auctions or Facebook marketplace and I pick up what I need for spare parts. However.....my cousin found a plow parts guy in Indiana. As soon as I get that information, I can post it.

    No I don't, but I haven't looked either since I have a spare set. I've seen them turn up at local farm auctions from time to time.
