I am near La Crosse WI or Western WI. The soils here change a lot. Lower flats can have really nice soils you see here. Hillsides and even ridge tops can have some pretty nice soils in one area and heavy clay in another. I was on a ridgetop triangle field like that last night. Nice crumbly soil in one spot and in a few feet really heavy clay. The clay is pretty wet yet but it is June and it has to go if at all possible.
There is a lot of strip farming in this area due to the slops. The roll-over plow is perfect for that. It all needs to be plowed uphill. In this area the roll-over plow is thought of a strip farming tool. People don't equate it to the super flat surface irrigated fields many of you are familiar with. A roll-over plow is pretty rare around here because not much plowing is done any more and I suppose when plowing was in use the roll-over plow was to expensive for farmers.
There are springs coming out of the hillsides and ridge tops due to being so wet. I don't understand the underground hydraulics but water can be forced to the surface in the most unlikely places. I found one on that very field in the picture.
Wow, I would of liked to see that JD Semi-mount roll-over plow. I think I have seen a picture of one once before in a JD Brochure.

If you agreed with the subtitle, you are rather mistaken. Quite, actually. As a matter of fact, some of the technology experimented with over 40 years ago makes today's tractor technology seem absolutely stale by comparison. Experimentation, from the most complex assembly to the most simple and mundane component, is as an integral a part of any farm tractor's development
