Incredible content! I'm the operations assistant at the farm you mentioned and we'd like to thank you for featuring our incredible pair! We sure love the job it does for us here at Clearwater Farms!
Amazing, amazing, amazing! That tractor’s engine never once changed in it’s sound as if there were no “tough spots” in that half mile long field. What tremendous power! I pulled a 2-14” plow with a 1949 Case SC and I thought I was, at age 8, big stuff. Of course that was in 1952. :)
It’s impressive how tractors have developed. The first tractor I ever got to ride in was a 1977 Case 2470 Traction King with a seven bottom Case 700 plow. In 1977 that tillage combo seemed huge today it is tiny compared to a Quadtrac.
When we broke all of our cotton ground with 6 - 20" john deere plows and had one 7 - 20" bottom on land plow which we pulled with all 4850`s MFWD . When I quit farming we was working 5,000 acres of cotton. That was back in the day !
Indeed ... In many intellectual circles ... It has been rejected as the "Devil" but it does present a valid option for some of these difficult Summers where conditions were favorable for compaction . Good 2021 to you Caleb
In my area many huge farms have turned to Strip till ... In my opinon problems will show up later on after a cpl decades of that method . My neighbor's land is hard packed ... He dreams this strip huge heavy machinery will be the magical powder to his problems .
I run a 9 bottom DMI hydra wide split frame pull plow on a 2001 9200 deere, and an 8 bottom deere 2800 onland on a deere 8760, and a deere 7 bottom 2800 onland on a deere 8400 across 700 acres of NHEL ground annually in Northern Ohio. I would love to own a Salford high clearance plow......maybe some day
The last time I moldboard plowed was February 1979. IH TD14 crawler with 2 John Deere 6 bottom plows from the 50s. No trip beams or anything but replaceable parts. I'd already learned where the rocks were.

@@trentw3614 That part of Michigan receives pretty extreme winters. The ground will freeze several inches deep even covered with snow. This field will mellow up just like your garden by spring after several freezing and thawing cycles.
Good grief! That rig is doing crazy work. Would it be an option for the farm to do some deep ripping before winter and run a big disk over the field in spring? The field looks so hard that it seems beneficial to get a little extra depth from ripping. Also, the minimum recommended tractor at 490 hp for this plow would probably struggle a lot in that field. Fantastic video, thank you! :)
God the position of that exhaust stack bugs me no end - how are you supposed to see past something like that ! That ground sure has a lot of rocks in it to be tripping a double spring set up like that. Great work by the driver and very smooth operation too. Fantastic drone work as ever by BTP.
Our land here in Central Alabama has a hard pan too. We deep chisel, then use the turning plow. I notice in the video the soil appears to be somewhat wet and is "shiny and Slickn'" behind the plow. If looks like that here, we would have bricks!
I have seen 20 furrow reversable ploughing in the Ukraine with furrow pressing at the same time, the press is mounted on the plough, Kervernland makers of such large ploughs, beauty of using these type of plough is less compaction on the headland, the plough was pulled by a Versatile 610 on tracks.
I’m sure the ground is just fine it was dry and they plowed it and with all the snow that they have in Michigan in the field to be smoothed out by the time spring arrives
What brand of tractor and plow? 7 bottom was good sized. My neighbor ran a Case 2470 with a 7 bottom Case 700 plow. It seemed huge in 1977 when it was new.
Immidiately thought of the Case 150 steamengine tractor pulling J.D. 36 bottom plough with 18 operators on top,this plowing a bit deeper though think?!!
Sal Ford is keeping awake the flame with these long moldboard plows.Kverneland make still make them to.I thought the Quadtrac might be a 600 or 620 because of the 14 bottoms
Jason, thanks for another impressive video. Looks like those bottoms trip too easily. I'd like to see that being either a 14 bottom rollover or a switch plow for less passes on the headlands.
Thank you for watching. Salford builds a hood plow. It is tripping because the field has that many stones in it. They plow this field because deep ripping it would bring up too many stones and break too many points. I have a video on the way featuring a 10 bottom Kevenerland plow.
What they save on chemical they pay 10x in fuel and labor. Organic farming. Making land that could feed 1000s feed 100s. Looks like these guys do it right. Many do not. Alot of organic farms look like wooly cup and waterhemp farms.
@@barbaratingey3648 I have 1000 acre farm with over 10,000 trees planted and a new river cleaning retention pond project just in and I’m looking to transition to a more natural commercial farm right away, studying Gabe Brown right now
That quad track could pull a disk ripper probably twice as wide as that plow while actually reducing compaction instead of furthering it and would leave some residue on the top to drastically reduce wind erosion.
@@robertmarincic5697 tillage is a poor weed control strategy in the first place. You know what else is a poor strategy. Mold board plowing fields. Nothing like creating a hard pan and creating a recipe for massive amounts of soil erosion caused by wind and precipitation when there's no residue left on top of the soil to protect it. But I guess many of you are OK with all of your best soil and nutrients being blown into the nearest road ditch.
@@bigtractorpower when it freezes and the wind picks up the snow will be brown in the ditch. See it all the time when driving by plowed fields in the winter.

what is the actual width (feet) of the 8214? the salford site does not list it and I don't know formula to convert # of bottoms to physical width. pretty cool vid the soil turning always makes for a good one :)
Unfortunately time did not allow for filming the entire field being plowed. They normally leave the boundary unplowed around the field and plow a square and back into the corners on each end.
You have to be close to water. The birds will there. Here is a verticals tillage video filmed near water with lots of seagulls ruclips.net/video/RVeFGgXjv9k/видео.html
To all you fine gentlemen, here in the comments section of this video, the worry is about the bumpy ride on this farm come springtime. That would worry me too. If it were me moldboard ploughing-at least in this part of Michigan, I would have a moldboard plow that you could hook up a packer to--a hitchhike packer.

Winter snow will flatten it right out and mellow the furrows.
Still going to be a rough ride!!!!

I remember growing up in the thumb and riding along putting a 7 bottom plow. And though that was big. Now days it crazy on the size of equipment.
What brand of tractor and plow? 7 bottom was good sized. My neighbor ran a Case 2470 with a 7 bottom Case 700 plow. It seemed huge in 1977 when it was new.
Organic farming has fewer options than no till
Immidiately thought of the Case 150 steamengine tractor pulling J.D. 36 bottom plough with 18 operators on top,this plowing a bit deeper though think?!!
Yes much. Those were antique 10 and 12 inch bottoms scratching stubble.
But this one is also going slow!
Sal Ford is keeping awake the flame with these long moldboard plows.Kverneland make still make them to.I thought the Quadtrac might be a 600 or 620 because of the 14 bottoms
550 hp is good sized. International and John Deere built 16 bottom plows in the 80’s. Those were pulled by 470 to 525 hp tractors back then.
I just farm as a hobby and mostly do custom farming, but I moldboard plow with a David Brown Selectamatic 1200 and a 3 bottom plow

Not that I have seen. This Salford has hydraulic steering so it can maneuver into corners pretty easily.
Ok after the plowing he gonna cultivate it? Looks pretty rough
Winter snow will flatten it right out and mellow the furrows.

@@Encourageable You have a good point. I admit, I never thought of that.

Not at all. The field has buffer strips and wind breaks. The new crops will hold the soil fine.
No auto steer ?
So what's the point of people still using these moldboard plows over your conventional 2 way disc or ripper? Seems pretty slow going
These plows were used before all your rippers, they are used all over europe and nobody denies they are better
