Fall Plow day

[Jeff-oh]

Here are some pictures and a video of the Clermont Co. Antique Machenery Club"s Plow day at Shaw Farms. Shaw Farms has a pumpkin festival every year and we stirred the dust to the delight of the Hay Ride gowers.

Seeing that youngster plowing solo reminds me of when I first started plowing solo at age 7 .I'll bet the Dad was glowing with pride . The boy seems to know what he's doing . Man that looks like fun . I sure miss those days . Thanks for sharing & God bless

thanks for sharing the plow day

boy would i like to have been there plowing

with my old TO-35 and 3-12s" all I ever get to plow is trying to turn under late fall garden filth
I have to deal with the plows plugging up with vines, corn stalks weeds, etc: not much fun.

Did not see anyone with a disc plow, guess those have all gone to the scrap yard, but were great old plows.

Looks like a great day!!!!!

NOT all disc plows have I have one plowed one time and it pulled to the left real BAD ????

 

[maxwell99]

2feg,

it took us awhile to finally get the old Fergy bullet disc plow to work right and yes it still pulls to the left some,

but we have a chain stabilizer on the right side and it work fairly well, old plow will go right through filth that other Ferg plows get plugged up with.

email me and i will send you some of the info i have on the old plow.

Jeff, if I remember correctly you did find one of those deals a year or two ago. $1.00 for a Ferguson wrench?????? Oh how soon we forget!!! Just had to do it.

 

[samn40]

wish I could have been there Jeff, just like what we do over here minus the dust! Where did you get the 65?

 

[Jeff-oh]

paying 10 cents on the dollar for a wrench is not the same as an on plow... or a tractor....

Yea we all find a deal now and then if we keep looking.

Also, like to add one of the neighbor kids I have been helping on a TO-20 restoration and family came by. I had him hop up on the 65 and take a turn down the field...

Now he wants a plow to go with the TO-20.

 

[Jeff-oh]

He drove the tractor fine. Their plows we're not set up right and were bearly skimming the top 2 inches... I did not say anything, as with how hard the ground was I was concerned the -30 may not pull in some spots. It was more important to have fun than plow perfectly. Shaw's runs a no till operation and he will go in with a 30' somthing chisel disk and clean up what we did to the field.

Besides a fun activity for the club we were an entertainment draw for the festival. He also has a corn maze, hay rides, a barrel train, lots of static play areas for the kids and lots of pumkins, gourds, and cornstalks to sell to the suburbanties coming 5 miles from the circle freeway, all the way out to the country...

He made lots of money on Sat. This is a good thing. Agri-tourism at it's best.

Hi Sam,

It's been into the high 80's (30c) into October and dry... I piched up the 65 about 5 years ago. I use it to push snow and take it to the local shows. It is a great tractor. live lift, dual stage clutch and power steering. Just had to have it.

Hey Jeff, is it you who wrote me about that Sherline ? Small world aah ? If you are one & the same Jeff , I sent you a message from my gmail addy . Yah I did notice the furrows weren"t very deep . But man the dust . I wish your video would"ve been on that boy some tho . Oh how i enjoyed the days of plowing & discing as a young fellow . I sold my set of plows a couple years ago to a guy in Ohio . Hated to see them go , but when finances are bad , things have to be sold . God bless, Ken
