Should have grabbed it....lol

I wish that I had... and would have if I'd known how much they've gone up in price. It was the weekend anyways and I don't keep that much cash on hand.

Some deep plowing action for a new yellow kiwi plantation in Italy.

I think you meant DEEP plowing! Hearing that plow creaking and watching that big of a tractor struggle was a little intense. I wonder how big of a bottom was on that plow? Look like 5ft. Lol

I would have gladly upped your ante 500 clams and paid the shipping to me as well.

That's a one off implement but the manufacturer makes other sizes and those go about 44" deep and 32" wide. Required power: 300 to 450 HP. I bet our Bransons could pull that easily.

Just filmed in Andover SD and i believe this same fellow purchased my grandfathers gas Case tractor X years ago. The old steam engines always make me nervous since they liked to blow up.

Peanut digging/inverting and picking is in full swing here this week. Beautiful dry weather for it. Some politician and his two pretty red tour buses were in a nearby peanut field yesterday trying to drum up votes or $$$. Boy just get out of their way and let‘em work.

Canola being combined in southern ND and he talks about this grain some. This is a bit west and north from were my family members operate farms. That grain cart they are using is HUGE! This guy is a professional film maker and includes the sounds of the machines working. Gee that brings back memories.

Wow, it takes a lot of manpower and horsepower to run that plow. Too bad they couldn't drop the plows all the way. It looked like some were just skimming the ground.

Ya, I thought the same thing. The plow shares not fully engaged.
