A friend had 20A of alfalfa that he wanted turned black today, so we helped him out with the "oldies". A 770, 1800 "B", 770 & 880.

I did my first plowing of my life last saturday. We hadn'nt plowed anything in years, so we went around the fences again. Used a 185 White with a 5 bottom oliver plow. Good to get her shined up again. Plenty of power!

Thanks for the compliments, hope you enjoyed.
To answer a couple of questions. This field had been in alfalfa for over 10 years and he only got one cutting last year. It is part of a acreage and he plans to plant sweet corn in it and sell at farmers markets. He has a little Japan built tractor with a roto tiller on it and tried to work it up and found out he couldn't.
Thanks for the compliment, hope you enjoyed.
The two 770's were just completely restored, we thought that this was a good place to break in the motors. If you look close, they do not have decals on them yet.
The front 770 has a 3 btm 4240, the 1800 is pulling a 4 btm 16" 4441, the next 770 has a 3 btm 14" plowmaster 100 & the 880 has a 4 bottom 4340.
My camera, however I'm on he 1800 in the photo. Yea, I did photography for a living at one time.

Now that is a nice picture.

How far would you haul those green tractors to turnover more ground? I got some that has to wait now for fall, so you can think it over some.
