Great video. I sure like plowin. I am wondering why most plowers don’t use the coulter. Most garden tractor plowing I watch is the same way. You don’t see the antique tractor guys doing that with their plows. Just wondering.
Thanks. We are usually instructed not to plow the headlands because there are so many tractors moving around the edges of the field...we need to allow room for them to pass through, and still have enough room for other tractors to turn around at the end of the furrow.
Nice video... I've been watching these plow day videos and would love to attend one. I live in upstate New York and can't find any around here. I've got a John deere 430 with a 12 inch 3 point plow. I would love to take a trip down to PA to do this. Can anyone do this or do you need to be part of a club. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.
Anyone is welcome. We had people come from as far as Minnesota, Ontario, and Alberta this year. You just have to pay a $10 registration fee and sign a waiver for insurance purposes.
Hey you think I could make it through those fields with a gt225 with 50pound weights and chains I only have turf tires it a 15hp Koehler 2 wheel automatic no diff lock
One of my friends plowed with a 345 last year which has the same rear end as a GT225. With ag tires and cast iron wheel weights you should be able to plow just fine. Turf tires and chains won't cut it unless you are really lucky.
A friend of mine ran a 345 last year, which is basically just the older version of the X530. It plowed just as good as the rest of the tractors there. If you have ag tires, weights, and a sleeve hitch, come join the fun. Someone at the event might have a plow for you to try out or buy.
It's a small sports camera. At plow day I switch back and forth between mounting it on my hat, and on fender of the tractor so I can use both hands to drive.
That was one of the best looking convoys I have ever seen the Cubs and the Deere's going up the road. How many acres did you all plow all together look like quite a few acres there for just a day and a half or so. Did you ever get the 111 tractor fixed I ain't seen anything new yet? And another great video Sir I look forward to seeing video plowing for this year
We had plowed 129 total acres when it was all said and done. As for the 111, I parted it out and scrapped what was left. Most of the tractor was too far gone. That was 5 years ago.
@@MichaelTJD60 Yeah you all plowed a hell of a lot of land then and I'm new to all this you tube videos sorry for the dumb questions then about old videos
Yeah I was trying to come up with a name for our group, the Sears guys have their own cult so I think we should too. And yeah Jimmy definitely had the most LED's out of the group. lol
Just traced the pattern on a piece of paper and made a rough cutout on some cheap hardware store diamond plate, then drilled and pop-riveted it in place. But it looks terrible and is starting to rust out underneath because water collects under the plate.
To be determined. The committee that hosted it for years finally hung it up last year and the new people in charge are currently trying to find a location and a date for the next one - we aren't sure if it will even happen yet.
MichaelTJD60 personally I like that a lot you can lift up the plow or deck and still have both hands on the steering wheel. It's nice to have a tractor that you don't need 4 hands to operate lol
Some folks camp out there during the week leading up to the plow day, so they bring a camper, but you don't have to have one. Most people stay at a local hotel or sleep in their truck cab or enclosed trailer.
Yeah I let Blake run it on Saturday since he didn't bring a tractor. A couple friends hooked us up with an extra sleeve hitch and Brinly plow for him to use.
It's a get-together for garden tractor hobbyists where we plow a bunch of fields to help a farmer out. It's become a big social event...swap meet, campout, tractor display, etc.
You mentioned that you had to keep topping off the tank because of gravity feed. Thought about putting another outlet on the other side,ran together or single. Watching your vids has made me want a 200 or 300 series John Deere. They are not cheap.
I had plans to build an auxiliary fuel tank with a selector valve to switch between both fuel tanks, but it never happened. I was searching for a 300-316K with the larger fuel tank, but this 140 H3 was basically handed to me for free, so I couldn't refuse. The market for old garden tractors is currently at a low, so if you can find them for sale, now is the time to buy.
Transmission. The frame is shared with the GT series (GT242, GT262, GT275, etc), which are considered pretty heavy garden tractors. So you shouldn't have to worry about the frame. But the Peerless 801 trans in that LX173 wasn't designed for pulling heavy loads, especially ground-engaging attachments.
In theory, yeah. The most direct fit would be a K70 transaxle from a GT275. But I don't know if different mounts would have to be used. I'm sure the drive belt would also have to be changed. At that point a GT225 would be the most similar model...Kohler Command engine and a K70/K71 trans. For what it's worth, you'd be better off just buying another tractor for plowing.
Glad to hear you like the LED headlights. I have a set coming for one of my 318's to try them out..
Awesome highlight vid!! That was an absolute blast! I really like the rolling thunder part.
Thanks brotha! I should have caught more of the rolling thunder but I really like that part of the video as well.
Great video. I sure like plowin. I am wondering why most plowers don’t use the coulter. Most garden tractor plowing I watch is the same way. You don’t see the antique tractor guys doing that with their plows.
Just wondering.
Hope to be there next year with my Gravely and my one buddy with his 214 might come along too.
See you there!
Looks like a good time for sure!
New Sub. Very cool video! God Bless America, Jerry Reed music, and tractors.
Thanks for the sub! Glad you enjoyed the video.
This is an awesome video! Can't stop watching it lol! Lots of awesome shots and pictures!
Thanks Tyler! Looking forward to seeing your Plow Day footage as well.
at 2:54 do you know the guy who owns the x585 with the loader bar installed?
Yes, he's a friend of mine.
Great video I wish I could come.
Great video man just wondering why y’all didn’t plow the head lands
Thanks. We are usually instructed not to plow the headlands because there are so many tractors moving around the edges of the field...we need to allow room for them to pass through, and still have enough room for other tractors to turn around at the end of the furrow.
Cant wait for the gopro plowing videos,, i hope they long
Yup, I've got 30 clips to sort through.
Wow! It really turned out, heck of a lotta fun!

Ok I can maybe find some ag tires maybe I will join you in a few years it will be quite the journey from Valparaiso Indiana
It's a big commitment but it's worth the extra drive.
This make me want to participate...how would an X530 hold up doing something like this? I don't have plows etc. but it looks like a ton of fun!!

2:11 was that the 4WD or 2WD x 548 series
X585 4WD
Let me ask what is a gopro
It's a small sports camera. At plow day I switch back and forth between mounting it on my hat, and on fender of the tractor so I can use both hands to drive.
How much are they
That was one of the best looking convoys I have ever seen the Cubs and the Deere's going up the road.

Awesome video! The "John Deere Squad" is a good name for all of us.I think Jimmy won for having the most leds. Lol
Yeah I was trying to come up with a name for our group, the Sears guys have their own cult so I think we should too. And yeah Jimmy definitely had the most LED's out of the group. lol
Hey Michael I have 2 videos of me. Working on a friends driveway.
How did you put that diamond plate on the floorboards?
Just traced the pattern on a piece of paper and made a rough cutout on some cheap hardware store diamond plate, then drilled and pop-riveted it in place. But it looks terrible and is starting to rust out underneath because water collects under the plate.
Where there any 317’s?
Yes, there were a handful of them.
MichaelTJD60 nice! Did you ever own one?
@@wibo3218 No, but I have owned several 316's and 318's. And ran one or two 317's at shows.
That looks like so much fun. What part of PA. is that in ?
Watsontown/Dewart area.
When will the next one be and where ag
To be determined. The committee that hosted it for years finally hung it up last year and the new people in charge are currently trying to find a location and a date for the next one - we aren't sure if it will even happen yet.
Love thisx where is 2019 Plow Day?
Haven't gotten around to making a video yet. This year's plow day wasn't exciting from my end.
Man that looks like fun maybe I'll bring my 425 next year I was surprised to see a 455 lol.
Yeah there were a few of them. Someone also had a 445 there. They are tough plowing tractors.
They are also pretty comfortable to drive as well so you can sit and plow all day lol
That's for sure. I've run a 445 in the past, only thing I don't like about them is the hydraulic spools under the steering wheel.
MichaelTJD60 personally I like that a lot you can lift up the plow or deck and still have both hands on the steering wheel. It's nice to have a tractor that you don't need 4 hands to operate lol
That is true. Trying to plow snow with a hand-hydro tractor takes a bit of skill.
Do you have to bring a RV???????
Some folks camp out there during the week leading up to the plow day, so they bring a camper, but you don't have to have one. Most people stay at a local hotel or sleep in their truck cab or enclosed trailer.
Great work man!!!
Thanks!
can any non diesel tractor plow a fresh garden?
Yeah, you don't have to have a diesel to do it. Just need the right tires and plenty of weight. None of my tractors are diesel.
@@MichaelTJD60 thanks, brother. where and where in PA is the next?
when
@@shonough5742 Watsontown, PA. April 26-27
I'm a new sub and I loved the video I've always been into old lawn tractors
Thanks for the sub!
So someone else was driving your 210 in the daytime
Yeah I let Blake run it on Saturday since he didn't bring a tractor. A couple friends hooked us up with an extra sleeve hitch and Brinly plow for him to use.
Man I would of loved to have been there helping.
Where do you guys sleep
Some stay at a hotel in nearby Williamsport. Some bring campers/RV's, and the rest of us sleep in our truck cabs or enclosed trailers.
What is pa plow day?
It's a get-together for garden tractor hobbyists where we plow a bunch of fields to help a farmer out. It's become a big social event...swap meet, campout, tractor display, etc.
@@MichaelTJD60 I would like to go but I don't even have a garden tractor.
Price plz
On what? There were 200+ tractors and plows at this event...
Bro if u have any idea about company name r any one to sell the tractor Share contact number
hey now this is cool
I think your missing a few wheels from 18 there Mike!😂
If I had brought the 1811 along it would have been a total of 18 wheels. Not all of them rolling though.
No zero turns?
No lawnmowers here...
@@jhitt79 Not sure what that guy was thinking lol. Maybe he was selling it.
MichaelTJD60 if it started to snow he'd definitely have the last laugh.
He'd be like Rudolph making the path for all those deer(e).

11:39, you were following me
I like that Farmall Cub. Wish I had one.
i grew up with it. shes never failed with me
you plan on getting another 318
Down the road, yeah. Or if I can find a rough one for cheap I might buy it for a short project.
MichaelTJD60 i wouldn’t mind having a 318 or a 210
If you want one cheap, now is the time to buy. The market for them is pretty low right now.
Why?¿???😔🤔
Why not?
Ate sub compacts welcome?
Yes, there were 3 of them at this year's event.
Imagine a John Deere Lx173 plowing MichaelTJD60.
Probably wouldn't last long.
Is it because the frame or the transmission?
Transmission. The frame is shared with the GT series (GT242, GT262, GT275, etc), which are considered pretty heavy garden tractors. So you shouldn't have to worry about the frame. But the Peerless 801 trans in that LX173 wasn't designed for pulling heavy loads, especially ground-engaging attachments.
Okay so If you put a stronger transmission and maybe add some weight it could be a homemade garden tractor?
In theory, yeah. The most direct fit would be a K70 transaxle from a GT275. But I don't know if different mounts would have to be used. I'm sure the drive belt would also have to be changed. At that point a GT225 would be the most similar model...Kohler Command engine and a K70/K71 trans. For what it's worth, you'd be better off just buying another tractor for plowing.
