Hi Josh, Clods occur when the ground is usually plowed too wet. Since I'm not on farm anymore I
usually dig several spots with a shovel. This way
you can determine if the soil too wet or nice and loamy when you spread the soil. When the shovel
gets wet I put off plowing until it dries off.

I've seen too many fields plowed wet
and it makes it difficult to work the ground. When the ground is right you just need to run a disc harrow over it. When we did this we would
run a spring tooth harrow prior to planting.
Now they don't even plow, they use a lot of no- till. They plant corn and apply everything with one pass. They usually apply lime with lime trucks prior to no-tilling.

Is your tractor equipped with the fasthitch? The Super C I had had that and it made it a lot easier to attach the plow and other
implements. We had a C on the farm and it took more effort to install the plow. I think some of these men have a Super C with a plow without the fasthitch hookup. Hal
