Where are the young kids rolling in the fresh turned dirt? My supervisor has to suffice now. Nice team and straight rows. What are you planting? I was putting in tatters 2 weeks ago. Our Easter tradition, weather permitting.

I haven't plowed since I graduated HS in 67. For my plowing to look that straight I had to connect a chain to the end and pull really hard. LOL.

Hi Majorman, you have brought at lot of memeries back for me. I left school in 1958 and went to work in the parts department of J L Maltby Ltd at Newark who were Ransomes agents and sold a lot of TS59 ploughs. In 1958 a TS59 3 furrow plough with EPIC bodies, IBP beam skimmers, Disks and depth wheel was priced at ?127=15. I still remember all the part numbers for the EPIC bodies, Points EPIC 726 Wings EPIC 18A Cutters EPIC 730 Mouldboards EPIC 665K or EPIC 41K on a trailed plough. MJ
 
Just rattling your chain a bit here, (wink) but your first bottom of the plow in the picture is throwing a tiny bit higher furrow. I can pick out each bought that you made. First bottom a bit deeper or wider than the other two bottom on the plow, or colter is cutting wide on front bottom.
Please don't take offense here. I'm just old farmer Joe leaning on a line fence post and giving you a ribbing.
Not many people around anymore that can come even close to adjusting a plow to do the quality of plowing that you are doing.

My f130 John Deere is my favorite and has the most trash clearance between it and my 3 bottom 14 inch international

My international 642 does a good job on heavy residue as well
