Is there anything more fun to do with a tractor than plowing? Here's a few pics of my handywork from this morning. This is virgin ground. It's been stumped and leveled a bit, but never turned. I've got a Kubota B2630 with unloaded R-4's and I left the loader on. Used the diff. lock the whole time, though I probably didn't need to.
My plow is a very early 40's Ferguson single 16" extra deep bottom. I'm plowing pretty deep - about 9-10 inches. The tractor does fine. Doesn't even struggle. A little messing around and I had her set up perfect. Plow tracked straight as an arrow and didn't want to steer me at all. I'd like to try a 2-12 sometime. I even turned up a couple of basketball sized rocks.
It's mesmerizing watching the ground roll off the plowshare. I could do it all day. I haven't been on a plow tractor since the 80's, and I was just a kid. We were running a Deere 4020 powershift with a turbo and 5 bottom Kverneland.
Next time will be in a couple of months after the buckwheat has gone to flower. We'll see how it does then!
