A nice view that shows how the plow turns over the soil and leaves the field "bumpy." That is why it needed to be dragged afterwards before planting.

moldboard resurgance, pros&cons (can fix what chemicals can't) even so, done just every 10-20 years
Given the tractor, this is a rather modern plow.

The comment was just "CaseIH Quadtrac World record attempt 2012", video. I guess it is the speed plus width because I have seen wider.
Video of four Oil Pull tractors pulling lots of bottoms.
Ford 9n, 2-bottom, two pictures show how rough the field is after it has been plowed.
video of JD 7520 pulling a spring-tooth drag. It dramatically demonstrates turbo-lag. Also shows it folded up for transport. Even unfolding. Being used as primary tillage?

Another spring-tooth drag, has rubber tires. A comment noted that.
Look around -1:26 for a sled type drag.

| Adam Baker posted Thomas R. Cassan When the mouldboard is that short and high and with a rolling coulter that big, this IS a breaking plough but it is the bush and bog type, rather than a prairie breaker where the mouldboard would be much longer and turn the furrow much more slowly. You've got a dandy there. I'm guessing it's an Oliver |

5-bottom plow (An 810 series that was 4-bottom but with the 5th added. A box beam was added in later designs because the 810 design was too weak for 5 bottoms.)

I needed to save this link somewhere, it shows that JD made more things than just plows while everything was still being pulled by hourses.

Picked this combo up 2 years ago , time to get the plow in working condition now!!
[It looks like a putt-putt can pull a 5-bottom plow. In fact, the model number looks like 30. I've seen putt-putt model numbers as high as 70. But I don't know if bigger numbers mean more horsepower. Sometimes a bigger number just means a more recent model. I am by no means an antique tractor expert.]

In this posting of a 2+2, Chris Dieterle and I discuss his 12-bottom plow that he posted a picture of.
Video of Case 600 pulling 4-18's. I had never heard of 18-inch bottoms before. Normally they are 14 or 16.
Video of a John Deere 720 (putt-putt) pulling a 4-bottom plow. Plowing does make a tractor "talk."
Video of a modern, reversible 4-bottom plow moving rather quickly with a John Deere 6920 at quite a few different angles. Lots of white birds finding goodies in the turned soil.
The Magnums are pulling 9 bottoms and the Quadtrac is pulling 14 bottoms. Even though the plow is much wider than the tractor, the Magnums still use the old fashioned style of driving with the right tires in the furrow.
We called this "the drag." I guess the proper name is a spring tooth harrow. Note there are no wheels. When done you would use the levers to pull the teeth above the slide bars and then make a lot of noise as you pulled it down the road.

This is what I remember Grampa's drag looking like. The teeth are raised out of the ground in this photo for transport.

I selected the photos that showed how they used "armstrong" technology rather than a hydraulic ram back then.

Fred Edwards & Old Bill (Circa 1898)
(Collection of William A. Shaffer)
Cam you imagine plowing the family garden with Old Bill? He is a huge animal. Draft animals were made for pulling and plowing---slow, steady work.
Jim Ripley I had a uncle who plowed with a horse and later in life a mule. He made extra money plowing gardens. Many of those refused to have there gardens done by tillers or tractors. He was a small man and I would marvel at his ability with his animal. |

| One of eight photos posted by John Gaard [This one caught my eye because I was wondering if the tractor as a "U". Then I noticed that this is a good demonstration of the "armstrong" technology that was used before hydraulic power was added to tractors and their implements.] |
Two of the eleven photos shared by John Gaard with the comment: "Very nice plowing conditions in Ohio this year. Sometimes it can be like plowing concrete."
Dennis DeBruler I especially like the first two because that shows how it was done before they added hydraulic circuits to tractors.

How do they judge the contest?
Author
We get judged on straightness, trash coverage, furrow confirmation, furrow uniformity, quality of seed bed, the crown, the finish, and neat ins and outs. The Antique and Open class have a 150 point score sheet and a 75 minute time limit to plow the 40’ wide x 260’ long plot. You plow a crown, or plow together, plow three more rounds throwing together, and then you plow against your neighbor throwing out and you finish with a dead furrow.

A video showing the plow from the tractor seat of a 1951 Moline ZAU.
