    I sure do appreciate you posting this! I spent many years and thousands of hours on those models of tractors... (I'm 76) The M was a 52, but I don't remember what the H was... But they were both workhorses! Plus, I've always loved the smell of freshly turned ground😊... So, a big thank you from me!!

    Boy, that brings back memories, steel wheels rattling on a gravel road, the purr of a 4 cylinder engine, and the smell of fresh turned topsoil mixed with a whiff of hot oil.. nothing like looking back on neat furrows.

      You would be so proud of CAT! I just watched a Danish video, they were using a Cat D10 to pull big fishing boats out of bay up on the beach. They pulled about a dozen or so out. Smallest boat looked maybe 30 ft.

    This is undoubtedly the best video I've seen online demonstrating how to plow...beautiful...I plowed with 2 bottom little genius #8 on steel a few weeks ago with Farmall M pulling it....what a day. You learned me how to make the first passes and get the land started...Thanks so much!!! It worked great... BTW, research shows that fantastic IH plow was put into production in 1928 and was built for about 30 years.

    When you said rocks, I thought I was going to see one of those head snappers where the trip hitch does what it is supposed to do.

    Excellent tutorial on how to start your lands...I have been doing it all wrong and worked from the outside inward...I purchased a nice 1949 Farmall M gasser in 2011, a 1956 Farmall 450 LP in 2017, and a 1965 Farmall 706 Diesel with IH engine in 2019...They all 3 are running... after considerable work on the first two that were dead for 10-15 years and parts missing. The 706 was purchased in running condition last month, but needs new tires, the tractor included a front loader with bail spear and 8' scrapper blade that came with it for $4k...I have the same IH 2 bottom trip plow on steel you have, (research showed that wonderful plow was made from 1928 to about 1960), and I own a JD 3 bottom with hydraulic lift that has not been tested yet, and apparently I'll need a 4 or 5 bottom plow for the 706 Diesel...Thanks for the turorial. I learned a lot from your experience...God's speed on your future endeavors...DP PS. I'm going to pick up an AC-72 combine this weekend...I've been looking for one for 5 years and one finally popped up about 400 miles from me in good condition and resonable price.

  • @Greg_Gatsby

    Those mold boards behind the M were pretty well polished by the time your video captured them. I recall carrying a scraper to clean them at each row end until they polished up.
    The soil at our NW Indiana farm was a sandy loam which polished those plows nicely. Our Illinois land looked much like yours and took a few more passes to clean up. Always followed up with grease on the plow surfaces to keep them shining, but it never seemed to last on equipment stored outside. I also remember buying plow points at Tractor Supply. Good memories!

Wouldn't it look good behind my '41 Case SC? :-) Maybe in the spring I can get it in good enough shape to drop it in the dirt. We'll have to talk. I know I am missing a sod cutter (if that is what it is called), and the shares look like they are well worn. Maybe I will do a video on it soon. Gives me an idea now!

    Where did you get the super chief Moldboards and other parts? I got the same plow and have it almost all fixed up but need to replace all those parts to have it completed

    Awwe, old,durable equipment, slower,but more precise. Used to run water furrows with one of those, pulling it with a gas/kerosene Fordson major,circa 1948.

    looks great, you should get some land ,a couple Farmalls and do some farming. those furrows look almost like they were done with horses and a walk behind plow.

    You will get a helluva yield of what you planting there Squatch253 being that your turning up that sod, there are tons of nutrients in that grass that will work into the soil.
