  • Plowing a harvested corn field with a Versatile 936 tractor and Salford Plow
    In this video I am out in the field just north of Annawan Illinois. This farm is moldboard plowing a harvested corn field using their Versatile 936 tractor and Salford 7 bottom plow.

    Interesting plowing, appears to be plowing across the corn rows, going the short way. Field has been worked, to chop up stalks, to flow through the plow better. Looks like some tough plowing, tractor could use a little more weight. We had a 976, great tractors, just not enough weight for the power of that cummins. It liked to power hop.

    To me, this is how you farm. I grew up on a farm in central Indiana and once the corn and beans were in, you plowed. My uncle used to call it "blacking the ground" because our soil was black, just like this field. I know all the "no till" warriors will crucify me, but I don't care. You got to turn that top foot upside down. That not only pulls the rocks up, but gets air into the soil, water, pushes that chaff and stalks under to break down, etc. Then manure all winter and spring with some light cultivation to mix in fertilizer and smooth it all out for planting. Sometimes you can skip plowing if you're going from corn to wheat or alfalfa.

    Thats nice black easy soil to turn over.
    In my estimation, that tractor if properly well hung with weights,should be able to pull twice that number, (14) of bottoms in those conditions.
    Mike, what do you or others think as my thinking may be a tad exaggerated-?

    Mike,
    Very nice video, love to see the vintage Versatile (actually, any Versatile !)
    Question about the plow: the front section is lowered into the ground before the rear section making the end of the rows more even. How is this achieved ? Do they use 2 remotes or is there a delay or some other method built into the plow ?
    PS: love to see that fertile midwest black soil.

My sugar cane farming days are over now, however to answer your question, no there isn’t much mouldboarding being done here anymore. Mostly people use offset discs or minimum till. My opinion is you can’t beat giving the soil a good turn over with a plough, but that’s just the opinion of an old fella that’s out of date I suppose. Regards from Down Under.

    Curious why the farmer was plowing the perpendicular direction of that field? Especially since at the end they have to drive the distance across to head the other way. Unless partial plowing of that field it seems like a less cost efficient way to farm. Still makes great content non the less.
