Hi Guys,

Finally got this old IH plow all set up except for moving the tractor tires out 'bout a foot on each side. Groan! :>)

I've put some photos in the "Implement" section showing 'er rolling over to the other direction.

Nice plow. In southern NM, those roll overs were everywhere. Ours was a JD 3 bottom that used a hyd. power steering motor to roll it instead of a cylinder.

I've not seen this kind of plow in action....is the main purpose to always throw the soil uphill? Sorry for my ignorance. It looks great.

Yes Sir,

Not necessarily "uphill" but rather in one direction only, thereby eliminating the multiple dead furrows and those "corners" as in dry land plowing.

It's a thing of beauty, thats for sure. Heck, if you keep your new vehicles off the property, and leave the cell phone at home, you can pretend you are right back in the late 70's. With your demonstration on the implement forum, I can now appreciate the added functionality of the spinner, but have trouble understanding why they are not ever used up here in the north east. Soil too heavy?

They never cought on here in southeast SD either. Matter of fact, I think this is the first one I've ever seen. I wonder if maybe it was the cost of the plow that one-ways were more popular, or we are fairly flat here and a one way would work. Always had a dead furrow though...

Lynn,

Three reasons I would guess; you guys have all the room in the world to work your ground as you see fit. In circles, in lands or whatever.

Secondly, they were designed back in the days of flood irrigation, where the finished lay of the land had to be "absolutely" level. There could be no 'holes' dead furrows or the like. Also, the matter of the short turn-row; gotta be able to spin around and head the other direction without leaving those "corners".

And yes, just plain old fashioned expense. When new, these spinners are expensive; probably at least twice that of other types of plows.

Just guessing tho,

Allan

Allen,

I never thought about plowing in a circle! That would eliminate all the work, just plot out the circle and start plowing! Never have to pull the plow out of the ground. Might even make the tabloids as some "alien" visit from who know's where! I can see it now! :>)

Your guesses are probably on the mark! :>)

Many years ago, My Dad had a 15-30 with 2-16" and I can remeber plowing a 30 ac. field, which at that time in this area was a large field, in a circle. I was about 4-5 years old and he tied the steering wheel to hold it in the furrow and I got to plow!!!! Of course he was walking along side to make sure every thing was ok. Funny how some things are real clear.

My dad often told me a story of how part of a piece of native sod got broken up. The story goes that when they were young his dad had a 22-36 (which I still have) and one of the “boys” was out plowing with it. Seems he got bored since the front wheel would pretty much stay in the furrow, and got off the tractor and started to chase a gopher while the tractor continued on. The gopher distracted him long enough that by the time he caught up to the tractor it had made it part way across the sod. LMAO! They plowed it off square after that, but it that was true it sure is funny now. :>)

I've tried mowing in a circle. Works fine if you have a squarish field or yard. 'course you gotta finish up the corners.

Hi Brian,

This is my whole complete goal; to step right back into this thing exactly at the point where I left off.

'Course around here, I'm a bit of a laughing stock because I am so far out of the loop and behind the times. The farmers nowadays are doing things that totally blow my mind.

Wrappin' big bales, using $30K balers, $80K swathers and quarter-million-dollar tractors fer instance. They say it is economicaly sound. Shoot, I couldn't even make it work the old way. :>(

The plows are a regional thing and remember, there is a trade-off between our two areas.

On the other hand, you folks back east adapted indoor plumbing long before we did out here. :>)

Allen,
Ain't nobody laughing. Im trying to do the same thing. Your a little ahead of me, I watch you, what works, works, what don't I change. All of my equipment is between 20 and 50 years old. It still works with a little work and I don't owe my sole. Farming is farming, just done a little different in different regions. Keep working on your dream.
Van

Yep,

Soon as this year's crop is off, there are 'bout 115 acres of sod to up-end. Looking for volunteer operators now. :>)

I have spent considerable time on a 1066 with an IH 710 6x16 plow.... long ways out to your place though from SW Ia.
