The 8-16 was designed to have all four wheels up on unplowed ground. (A plow guide was attached to the front axle which followed the furrow wall.) Didn't get things set up properly as the rubber cleats did not provide sufficient traction. Guess I will have to stop going to shows and put on the proper steel lugs. [Reply]   [No Email]

As a "beginner" in the tractor world, I find it really fascinating to see the old iorn out working. I would love to see that in person and working. Thank you [Reply]  [No Email]

Quite a few "plow days" pics of old iron iron in action get posted on this site, but very few of those pics represent that era in time. [Reply]  [No Email]

I imagine a farmer in the next field swapping out teams while you motor on by making 2 rounds for their one. It would have made a point!!! Jim [Reply]  [No Email]

This was the same field to-day. Its my friend's team. We wanted to get it as you suggested but it didn't quite work out. Walt [Reply]  [No Email]

Makes me motivated to get my 1922 and 1918 8-16s running.. BTW. I have plow guides for both tractors, just short the controls that mount at the operator platform. [Reply]  [No Email]
