Thought I’d update you on how the 826D did with my newly acquired JD 100 3-point chisel plow. It was an 11-foot ,12-shank with guide wheels and I reconfigured it to a 7-foot, 8-shank... still one foot spacing. I have clay ground in wheat stubble, still fairly hard after a little rain yesterday (no previous rain for two weeks). I was able to pull it 8-10 inches deep (limited by guide wheels) at 5+ mph in 2nd-high, with a very occasional use of the TA and the draft lever on the 3rd notch up from "heavy." Tire slippage on 16.9-34 singles was minimal. Didn’t need the locker. I had 400 pounds of weight up front, none in back. Rear tires were inflated to 16psi. I tried a few rows first with no weights up front and it did OK, but the front weights actually seemed to help it bite better and it definitely steered better. I’m still getting used to noises/behavior and trying to figure out what’s "normal" for this old tractor. I did notice some brake chatter (a groaning chatter) when using one brake to turn at the end of a row, but only after the tractor was good and hot. It did it only a couple of times at the end of the work period. This old tractor hasn’t worked this hard in years because burned of some heavy carbonized gunk on the exhaust that’s been there for years! I love it! It was a nice tractor to work and the controls were easy to reach except the throttle. I don’t like it up above the steering wheel. Anyway, thanks guys for answering all my questions. Your help paid off today in things going pretty well as planned. Jim Allen

A Towny Goes Plowing - by Anthony West (UK). I live in an area renowned for its rural beauty. Small fields with hedgerows and trees are common place, as are small hamlets with village greens and the odd duck pond complete with swans. The center of any village once the shop is closed is the old tavern. Rustic places with cheerful names like "The Griffin" "Red Lion" or "The Plough and Harrow" are found dotted around the country lanes all over the place. The warm glow of yellowish light can be seen for quite some distance at dusk, and
