our tractor club has had a plow day at my farm for the last 3 springs. the main advertising is done through the club newsletter, as members are covered by the club's insurance at club sanctioned events. its also some protection for me. hopefully it will never be tested. i also put up a sign along the road , and word of mouth plays a part. we try to limit tractors to those of members, for the insurance reason. anybody can come and spectate. the club plow days i have been to, have 2 or 3 fields opened up to work. for example, tractors with 2 way plows wouldn't get along very well with regular plows. faster tractors usually wait their turn and pass lapped tractors on headlands. most of the old plows don't work well over 4-5 mph anyway, so its not a big deal. the biggest problem with speed has been with jd 70s. first gear in them is faster than many of the older tractors can pull a plow. we usually do 35-45 acres here, and most of the tractors are pre-1960. my brother brought his 806 this year, which is a 1964 (45 years old). not a problem to me, and he is a club member. the big issue with larger tractors and plows is that the acreage might get turned over too fast. we had around 12 tractors and 32 bottoms this year and it made a relaxing day's work. usually there are extra plows available to hook onto, if the hitch/ hydraulics/ size are compatible.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
