i am kinda confused on your die hard spring plowing . i dont wanna start a fight here but i have not plowed in 30 years. my soil has improved unbelievably as far as health and structure with lots of more life and sub drainage. I do understand its fun to get on an old tractor and hook up a plow and watch them hypnotizing furrows lay over hour after hour acre after acre. but i just dont understand why you would want to punish your soil like that and then bust it down to make it level with a cultivator and then watch it all wash down the hills you have when it rains. the wear and tear on you, bouncing around trying to beat mother nature, and wearing out your tractor and equipment, burning all that fuel and sucking up all that dust. why dont you just get a planter with some coulters on it and just go to the field and plant. why is it you think you have to plow. you have nicer soil that most all of us other farmers, my planter would easily plant any one of your fields, including the one with soybeans in it. i have a clay loam soil and you would NEVER spring plow that 30 years ago or you would be looking at fist size soil lumps the rest of the year and a crop failure. have you ever tried to minimum till or NO till.? I have fought the tillage itch for 30 years and believe me it is hard but seriously, you dont have to do all that field work. Are you doing it because its tradition that you dad did it and your grand dad and great grand dad plowed or is it a hobby. around here if you plowed that kind of soil on them kinda hills you would have nothing left. we only have 6 inches of top soil and it would all be at the bottom of the hill and nothing but clay that would not grow anything would be showing. im curious to hear back from you. please be easy on me.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
