Man I thought I was finished plowing this year when the ground froze while the 1855 was in the shop. Now the frost is all out again and I'll almost hafta wait till a little is back in so I can finish the fall plowing!! It's been so warm lately, I even found time to take the good 11L-15's off the front of our dead 1755 in exchange for some old truck tires we have laying around, and then put the 11L's on our Massye 285 which has (had) balding 10.00 16's that cost almost double to replace... Anyone wanna trade another set of 11L's off an Oliver (or White) for a pair of 10.00 16's that still hold air? Ones a Firestone and pretty much now a 3 rib that was originally a 4 rib, and the other is a 4 rib General that is extremely weather checked, and has been for over 5 years. That 285 has had (I think) 4 different pairs of rims and/or tires on it that I can remember. I think it came with 11L's, but it may have been 9.5's or something. Then my dad traded those off to another farmer for a skinnier tire, could have been 7.50-16's. Then they eventually got replaced with the 10.00 16's, and now we're back to 11L's. Kinda hard to justify spending over $100 to replace a tire that isn't flat or blown up, espescially when you have a good pair of $60 tires on a dead tractor out back. Plus we still have 1 spare 11L in the shed that will now be a direct replacement (same rim with a deep dish and valve stem on the inside) for the 1855 and 285, and a temporary spare for my 1600 which has 7.50 16's on the front. Still want to get the 1755 going some day, maybe I'll have to track down another set of 11L's for that one... May have to use those 10.00's on a wagon or something... Donovan from Wisconsin

The Ferguson System Principal An implement cutting through the soil at a certain depth say eight inches requires a certain force or draft to pull it. Obviously that draft will increase if the implement runs deeper than eight inches, and decrease if it runs shallower. Why not use that draft fact to control the depth of work automatically? The draft forces are
