I'm 70 now, when I was a kid, I helped grandad and neighbors in the field as much as school would allow. I spent many hours on M Farmalls, U Minnies, WD AC's and 2 cylinder JD's. I learned how to set a plow from watching older folks do it and then I would be left alone to plow. So many people want to plow now at shows and plow days and don't have a clue how to set up a plow. I watched one young fellow at a plow day years ago. His buddy was pulling a 2 bottom trip plow in cornstalks and stopped to talk. He asked him if he wanted to try it out and the guy said that he had never plowed before, but he would go a round. He got on the tractor and took off, tripped the plow, open the throttle and never looked back until the plow was plugged and riding 2 feet off of the ground. He stopped and pulled the trip lever. Seeing that didn't do any good, he turned the mess around and drove back to the end and said, I'm done and got it his truck and left. The club I belong to has a fall show with corn picking and bean combining and plowing. I've spent a couple of hours each day helping guys get their plows set so they work, some guys get pissy and won't let you help them do a better job. The plowed fields are so uneven that we have to work them crossways several times to get them anywhere near level for next year. The furrows are never straight and when plowing the back lands, instead of tripping out and leaving a 10 or 15 foot wide strip to finish out, they plow right up till the furrows meet and then try to turn on plowed ground and they are a pain to plow in the dead furrows. Just my experiences, how many of you guys can set a plow and how many just hook on and go and never look back?? Chris
