How's my rookie field plowing

Kilo69 · Apr 28, 2014

tried to snap a vid of my CK35 HST pulling an old two furrow cockshut plow I picked up for $200 (plow and 2 spring tooth harrows).

This is only my second time plowing, I think I'm getting it setup ok both furrows seem to be going fairly evenly on depth.

I apologize for the shaking video it's hard to hold the camera behind you, while trying to pay attention to where your heading and such.

Looks like it is doing the job it was designed for. How about some photos of the finished field.

Looks good. Also looks like fun. There's something about plowing that makes you feel good. Smells good too, eh?

Smell is good... it smells like independence almost. Only part that didn't smell nice was the wet spot in the lower corner.... **** mucky smelled like ***. I had to stop trying to get through and plow up the hill more to get my "acre".

Those plow bottoms look like a Kverneland or something like that. What are they?

Attempting some white wheat for use as feed for my muscovy ducks and Chantecler chickens. More just an experiment and learning experience. Last years attempt ended in a lot of weeds

. But I was late planting and the field was sitting without seed too long.

Not sure, the plow frame has a very faint COCKSHUT on it. That's all I know, pulled out of some old guys back woods and pressed back into service after replacing a stripped U-bolt.
