First Day Of Plowing! The Best Job On The Farm

Me, a pilot, playing farm sim singing international harvester in my head. Real farmers: singing the same song out loud lol

My father adored the fall plowing season and just loved looking back at that dark, rich soil going to rest after a long harvest season. And it was moldboard all the way. Great memories of what that looked like.

I grew up working a farm in central Indiana. Mostly driving a 1980 John Deere 4440, either pulling a grain cart in the fall or plowing. It could only pull a 4 bottom plow but it would pull it well and all day long. My favorite job on the farm too. It had a front loader attachment and when I plucked a rock out of the ground, I would put it into the bucket and dump in the fence line each pass. What I discovered was the more weight was in that bucket, the better it would pull. So I just left them. When I shut that thing off at night the exhaust manifold was glowing bright red. Great memories. How can a kid grow up without that kind of experience? lol

the graphics on your farming simulator is insane

You gotta love old school plowing I loved it every fall back in the seventies Great video thanks

Reflecting on the past when the University of Illinois conducted their study, it's fascinating to learn that moldboarding can increase yields by up to 20%. Disking, unless it's a deep cross-cut disk, seems ineffective. The key was going 14 inches deep with moldboarding, often with older equipment like the JD730. Regularly turning plant matter into humus was crucial for enriching the soil. It's incredible how these techniques, rooted in tradition, continue to shape modern agriculture and our understanding of soil health.

Great to watch .I started lowing with a Ferguson and single plow when I was 13

I totally understand your passion for moldboard plowing. It is a task I miss a lot it was 25 years ago since last time. Especially opening and closing the fields setting the plow so that all residue is turned down. My team was a Ford 9700 and an Överum 6 furrow plow😢

I appreciate you going into detail. Great video!

GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. I appreciate our AMERICAN FARMERS.

That's just one of those one in a million deals Ethan. Thats no one's fault. I love your videos because they're about real situations that make up real life on the family farm.❤

Yall dirt is BEAUTIFUL. In Louisiana, the black dirt is south of I10 and irrigation can pull out salt water. Yall are blessed with that dirt...💯💯😍😍

great video - plowing was always my favorite thing to do too here in Oregon.

Used to love the Staffordshire ploughing matches when I was a kid!

Hoggin’ up the road with my p p p plower… subscribed!

That new model year 9RX is such a beautiful piece of equipment. There my fav out of all the John Deere lineup

Wow, great video sharing. I hope, my country will has agriculture machinery like this video.

I love organic! Thank you.

I ran a plow just like that behind a quad . 400 acres tops then time for new shoes . Was an awesome run did 1800 acres that year for peanuts. Very much enjoyed that
