An Oklahoma farmer named Hoeme developed this plow during the 7 year '50's dust bowl and is said to have saved Oklahoma. Sold a couple of thousand. A guy from Amarillo, Tx. bought the rights and produced the original and variants, sold world wide. I noticed a version had coulters mounted in front of the rippers and I assume that was for heavy clays like my soil...slits the soil reducing clods. Wind erosion on the high plains of the area in Tx., Ok., and NM. is a problem today as it was then and is said to be the highest remover of topsoil.
Interesting in the implements, and the tractors pulling them...what about that lineup of 8 (?) Ns....and Oliver, Some Farmalls, I think I saw a JI Case......when folks talk about 10 hp per shank to do some work....and having to weight down to get some traction....dozers are popular in the panhandle, but look at the width of the implements. Silverton is between Lubbock and Amarillo, center of the Tx. Panhandle; high plains, cotton country for sure, soil type is clay to sandy loam to sandy .
Couple of things I noticed: The mess a Moldboard (Bottom) plow makes that you have to bounce over to get leveled, and the field surface after using the chisel (noted at the beginning of the video). The ability of the Hoeme to walk around (most) standing vegetation without clogging. The ability of the Hoeme to open the soil without burying vital top soil nutrients.....for those of us whose top soil is only a few inches thick..........had to give you guys and gals something to talk about. Grin.

Today's Featured Article - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Deere Departed Friend - by Dave Gohl. Have you ever had to part with a dear friend? It's not easy. If it's due to death, your feelings could be in disarray for days, months or even years. Even now after almost 4 years, I still miss my dad. I remember when I was a kid my dad sometimes would tuck my brother and I in at night and we would ask him questions about his childhood on the farm. To this day, it's some of the best stories I've ever heard. And now, I'm so glad that I asked those questions, and if I were a little smarter i
