Today I burnt off and began breaking a 2.5 acre patch of ground that I intend to plant watermelons on this spring, the ground has been in pasture and hay since the last row crop ( cotton) was planted in 1955. I began plowing and noticed a fella watching me from the road , I stopped and spoke with the fella and he said the last time the patch was plowed it was likely plowed with a turning plow and was amazed that anybody still had, much less used them . I am using a homemade rigged single bottom 3pt rigged plow that I gave a fella $20 for on Craig's list. I seem to be turning about 6 " deep and seems to be an easy load for my yanmar ym226.
I am curious how many folks still use these old school plows to do there initial breaking?
