Real nice job of plowing!!!! 9 bottom one way plow.

I watched this video tonight while it was snowing. LOL This fellow is doing a spectacular job of plowing. It is neat to see this tractor/mower/plow all working together. So I hope you enjoy this.

Good job of plowing. Boy did it look wet though the way the ground squashed when it was run over in the one furrow shot. the furrows looked like it did when we used to try to work sugar beet ground in the fall here in MI.

Now, that is green manure!

IaGary · Nov 21, 2015

Is that a one way plow or a two way plow?

I always called that a two way plow.

Either way plowed nice considering how wet it was.

Might want to clean the grill screen.

Seems a waste to ploughs all that hay down. Ya , nice job of ploughing, and extra nice dirt.

bradley martin · Nov 21, 2015

That 3 point must be awful hefty to lift a fully mounted 9 furrow rollover plow like that!!

Interesting combination of mowing and plowing in one pass. Due to the more restrictive transportation widths that European farmers deal with the implements are often narrower than ours but they combine them and do more jobs per pass than we do. Front hitches and PTO's have been popular there for many years as a way of accomplishing this.

Quite a set up.

I agree with the poster below. It's time to clean the grill screens.

I noticed the same thing wondering why it isn't over heating.

I also noticed how clean the exhaust is.

Very nice ground, good mower and looks like he could plant without doing much work.

If he had chains attached to the plow beam to drag in each plow furrow it would pull the vegetation under while he plowed it down, then he wouldn't have to run the mower. That's how we plowed under tall vegetation in the old days. The plow does a good job rolling over the soil though.

I would love to put that back into my soil. Of course, I'd have to make a pass with the mower conditioner since I don't have front three point. Oh, and then I would have to go to an auction and buy a plow cause we all sold ours about 15 years ago. Oh, and then I would have to set the tractors back to plowing setup. That outside dual was a treat to remove.

Never mind.

Bruce that is mustard that is fast growing for green manure in organic operations. I have been told it will get that tall in 45-60 days. They shred it down so it will decay faster.

I remember you do some fall plowing. You should see if they have one of these nine bottom plows for your Kubota. You might need a bale on the loader to hold it down. LOL

JD Seller,
I thought that looked like mustard. Around here we do all we can to get rid of it. I have a small field that I have seeded with alfalfa. It was a nice clean stand, until my neighbors hired hand ran through it with their hay bine. You see, when they seeded the field adjacent to mine they used oats from the bin, and didn't even run it through the fanning mill. Then they didn't cut the oats off until after the mustard went to seed. Of course having their hired hand cut through mine, twice, the mustard seed was carried into my alfalfa. On top of that, the fellow that makes up the hay on my field doesn't cut it until the alfalfa has gone to seed and is about to go down. By then the mustard has gone to seed too. I tried to get him to cut the hay before the mustard went to seed, but no such luck. I'm pretty sure that if the hay was cut before the mustard seeds out it can be gotten rid of by the time the alfalfa stand starts to thin out. That's the end of my mustard rant, sorry about that.

This is just conjecture about this particular setup, but there are certain varieties of mustard that have been bred as a biofumigant, high in glucosinolates (the chemicals that make broccoli and cauliflower 'hot'). Like JDSeller says, they will get 5-6, even 7 ft tall in just a couple months. Then you shred/flail mow it and immediately like within 10-20 minutes) till it in. The shredding of the plant tissue and mixing of juices starts some kind of decomposition that gives off essentially the same chemical as Vapam. So that may be what this guy is doing.

I would call that plow a two way roll over plow.

That makes sense, but you have to remember it takes nitrogen to break down plant matter. That amount of nitrogen doesn't benefit the crop that is planted after this process. What it does though is add organic matter to the soil, which makes the soil healthier.

I too had a good stand of alfalfa/grass hayfield invaded by mustard weed. No way to get ahead of it in the spring. After first cut it does not grow back so tall. so second and third cuttings were ok. It finally got to the point I needed to start over. Had it spryed with glyphosate and 2-4d. will disk and seed with a grass mix in the spring. In a couple years I may go back to alfafa but I may also quit baling by then and just pasture it. Its a bummer but happens. gobble

A one way plow because you can throw the furrows the same way. I thought they were only meant for side hill terraced plowing where you only wanted the furrow one way.

JD Seller · Nov 21, 2015

Tom I wish you luck but I will bet that you will have mustard in the new grass you seeded. The mustard plant is a prolific seed producer and there will be mustard seeds that will grow in your grass.

Northvale - PA · Nov 21, 2015

so, every year for the last 20, I spend about 2-3 hours in April pulling mustard plants by hand on about 20 acres of alfalfa grass hay. So far, I have managed to keep it at bay. Some reason, that stuff goes hand in hand with alfalfa.

Real nice job of plowing!!!! 9 bottom one way plow.
