Well back then i believe it was a far better time . Loved this time of the year and could not wait for the weekend or a day off from school as that meant i could go out to my uncles and get some seat time in . Plowing was and enjoyable time , lots of acres to cover . Back then this was done by crawler tractors , one D4 Cat pulling five bottoms , and Oliver O C 6 D pulling three bottom three point and the old Oliver O C 3 pulling two bottoms . My aunt and the one neighbor lady would bring the meals out to the fields in the old 51 Buick . I can not tell you how many hours i spent on the O C 3 and can still hear the clatter of the tracks, second gear right foot holding the throttle lever wide open and never worrying about getting stuck . only thing to worry about was will the plow lift when i pull the rope or will the lift wheel just slid in the mud. Then in 59 came the Wheel tractors , a new Farmall 560 D wide ft.and a 460 D wide ft. . Now just two tractors were doing the work of three and only loosen one bottom and the Horse power wars were on .
