We ran either a 710 or a 720 6 bottom plow behind the 1466 (bought new with the tractor) in 1973 - so whatever was new then. Later we bought another one that was pulled with a 1206 but that thing was turned up quite a bit and later pulled with a 1566. By the time the 1486 was purchased the plows were only being used to clean up terraces. Dad's feeling was if you were going to plow - you plowed deep 7 to 9 inches. If you were just going to scratch around on the surface hit with a disk and forget about it.
I remember we bought a farm from an old farmer back in the early 70s and he told my dad the best corn he ever raised on the property was 70 bushel an acre (yeah - that was a long time ago). First year Dad owned it the place was plowed with the 1466 and 1206 and that ground broke HARD. Lots of wheel stands going through the field. The guy had been scratching around on the top 4-5 inches for the last 50 years with a couple Hs and Ms. First year the place raised a little over 100 bushel corn with 40 rows.

Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
