You seem to be the moldboard guru. I was wonderingif anyone ever mastered the art of precisely backing a semi mount plow. I have an oliver 4-16's with stereable rear wheel and a 706 D. tricycle. I plow all my corn ground, about 250 acres. Would like to keep plow in machine shed if sould back it in.

Miss Grundy. When you want to back-up a semi-mount plow, follow these steps. 1. align the back wheel so that the dog with fit in the catch mechanism. 2. Lower the rear of the plow so that the rear bottom is almost on the ground. This will keep the tail wheel frommoving side to side. 3. Now practice. It may be easier to back the plow at an angle rather than trying to go straight.

I was going to say the same - practice, practice much like backing a 4 wheel wagon. Most fun I have is backing up the tractor, baler, & bale basket to the barn around the silo. you really gotta plan your moves on that!

For the plow, you need to plan to drift in one direction. It is about uncontrollable in the other direction. Some days it is 5 feet back, 3 feet forward, but it gets easier. I park my plow so the back wheel doesn't run over the picker snout; the planter can squeeze by one side; and the tractors can turn in past the other side - pretty tight. The narrow front tractor will help, you can turn much tighter.

Hope you don't mind other people answering your question, probably shouldn't read all the messages that mention a name in the title.

Like to hear from all of you guys. Seldom get to talk to real farmers. Seems the real farmers are always so busy.

But many of us are real farmers. I've been farming all my life, just working other jobs, too. One doesn't need a thousand acres to be a real farmer. By the way, I know a guy that farms about 1500 hundred acres. He pretty much does office work and hired hands run the machinery. I'm sure he doesn't even know how to hook up some of the equipment. And he doesn't know which end of a cow the tail goes on! Is he a "real farmer", more than the rest of us?
I also have to say that my father was the best farmer I ever knew, and the neighbors would all agree. Yet he only farmed part time.
