in this picture it was most definitely NOT level or pulling centered behind the tractor I made some more adjustments but I am still having problems with the forward bottom cutting in to deep causing the rear tractor wheels to spin.

thanks ,

For Bill,

I have read Faulkner's work and understand it....However there have been many other books written in the last 69 years that make the case for plowing being disc, chisel or moldboard as a means of tillage. I understand all those too.

but that leads me to the reality of working with what I have which is 50 year conventional till equipment. Add to that the fact I have not decided on weather or not to certify this particular field organic lead me to moldboard this field and leave the sprayer in the shed.

and then there is the learning aspect for some one who did not grow up farming to actually see how different equipment works the ground
