I have a Farmall H and a #8 Little Genius two bottem 14" plow. Yesterday I broke up a small garden spot. I was wanting to know if any of ya"ll know of a way to use the #8 to make rows? If not what should I use? Thanks, VanO

If you use a lister planter, they make very nice rows. You can also then adjust the spacing without throwing more dirt between. After you have the potatoes layed down then all you have to do is rake the rows shut. I think it's easier anyway.

A way to make rows for potatoes is to lift the first plowshare and move drawbar to left a couple holes. Right wheel will not be in furrow, rear share will be digging 6 inches down while front share just skims dirt. You end up with good planting trenchs about a yard apart with a small berm to the right side that can be used to cover potatoes and cultivated up to mound after plants are up about 8inchs to a foot high.

Right wheel of plow would be next to furrow but not in it. Having tractor wheel in furrow keeps next furrow parrellel to first- when cultivating plants you won't tear out crop as you can with wandering rows and 2 row cultivator. About what you would have when doing a first round, but adjust front share high instead of low. This method was used on disked bean ground to make trenchs for potatoes at edge of field to be planted in corn. If you have already plowed ground? Disk it first before trying to make rows, otherwise you'll have double turnedover lumps that will be hard to work. RN
