Had to think about this a little before giving my opinion. Sounds like you plan to plow all 150 acres in 1 day? Must have lots of tractors and plows coming, I'd think the farmer could at least buy the fuel.Depending on the age variation of the tractors, I think that I'd start the newer, larger rigs on the far side of the field and the older smaller ones closer to the pickups ( breakdowns, adjustments, etc ). Older plows aren't made to plow that deep, they could all be set to plow about 6" and let the big boys try to bury theirs without causing problems for the older rigs. The few I've been to, they take a rig like you have in picture and try to plow 9" to 12" deep and they just weren't made to do that. If I were hosting it, I think I would lay all the lands out before hand so when it gets crowded or someone is having problems they can split up and all keep going. Have to admit, all the tractors plowing on 1 land would be an awesome picture. I would think it would be a good idea to have someones service truck there with welder, bolts, air compressor, and maybe a loader. Was at one when a bolt broke and the land wheel went under and backwards. Had 5 guys trying to pick plow up high enough to roll it back into proper position and put new bolt in. Would have been nice to had a loader to pick it up. OH ya, this is a biggie, Tell them to get some of the rust off the bottoms before they show up. Seen guys show up with a plow that has set for 20 years and try to plow wet soil and wonder why it won't scour. Better have some scrapers for those that don't. Some guys have never plowed before and are shy about asking questions, might have someone that knows what they are doing help them set and adjust their plows. That's all I can think of for now, see what everybody else has to say. Chris
