An Oklahoma farmer named Hoeme developed this plow during the 7 year '50's dust bowl and is said to have saved Oklahoma. Sold a couple of thousand. A guy from Amarillo, Tx. bought the rights and produced the original and variants, sold world wide. I noticed a version had coulters mounted in front of the rippers and I assume that was for heavy clays like my soil...slits the soil reducing clods. Wind erosion on the high plains of the area in Tx., Ok., and NM. is a problem today as it was then and is said to be the highest remover of topsoil.
Interesting in the implements, and the tractors pulling them...what about that lineup of 8 (?) Ns....and Oliver, Some Farmalls, I think I saw a JI Case......when folks talk about 10 hp per shank to do some work....and having to weight down to get some traction....dozers are popular in the panhandle, but look at the width of the implements. Silverton is between Lubbock and Amarillo, center of the Tx. Panhandle; high plains, cotton country for sure, soil type is clay to sandy loam to sandy .
Couple of things I noticed: The mess a Moldboard (Bottom) plow makes that you have to bounce over to get leveled, and the field surface after using the chisel (noted at the beginning of the video). The ability of the Hoeme to walk around (most) standing vegetation without clogging. The ability of the Hoeme to open the soil without burying vital top soil nutrients.....for those of us whose top soil is only a few inches thick..........had to give you guys and gals something to talk about. Grin.

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
