I mean.. I've seen plenty of fields plowed with 2 and 3 bottom plows behind 2 wheel drive 40-50hp tractors. It wasn't all that long ago people were working 1000 acres with a small fleet of 4020 open cabs. Rows look straight though. Good stuff feller.
@mattsimonson1374 Decent sized tractor, yes. But my point was that it wasn't that long ago that people farmed 2500 acre farms with 4020s and other 90-100hp tractors. A 40-hp tractor is plenty for this job.
@rexsmith3944 it is. I still know plenty of folks putting old 4020s, Ford 5000s, and similar tractors to work in hay fields. Though, I agree. You're more likely to see them on larger property owners' fields than farmer's fields.

Your soil looks similar to are red clay soil in SC, might want consider doing no-till condition so you can get the most beneifits from your soils and fertilizers, at the sametime helps make your crops more drought resist, plus saving time and fuel! ! Thanks for sharing
It’s good to put furrows in deep if it’s been a few decades. Next time you drop the plow, only turn 3-4” deep or disc it, keep the heavy clay down not up. Your crops and fertilizer will eventually make great top soil.
thats a little plow i have a oliver 2-16 2 bottom plow i pull with my 1967 Ford 2000 gas tractor my dad does a huge garden it covers about 3 acres if ground. been plowing with that setup for 10 years now the tractors got fluid filled rears and it does a really good job. its a big heavy plow but that ford does the job very well. fun fact place i used to work at had koyote 4wd 45hp diesel with a loader tractor hydrostatic drive and i tried to pull the same plow with it and it did not do it. the grounds been plowed up before to. not virgin ground makes me like my old ford even better. yall say what you want but ill stick to my almost 60 year old tractor to these newer ones any day. side note i have more then 1 tractor as well. this does happen to be one of my larger tractors as i just have a small farm and my dad just has his garden.
plowing is actually the worst thing you can do to soil. most industrial farms are slowly moving towards a no till seeding method. its been proven time and time again soil health improves when old conventional farm methods are eliminated. people are moving to no till regenerative agriculture and are seeing much improved soil health and yields with little to no fertilizer and pesticides used.

@@PineyGroveHomestead The worst that will happen is you find an arrowhead or two. Your ground is where former generations of The People are! Seriously, you will be decidedly unlucky If You Don't.
My uncle always plants a nice big field garden also pea fields along with a couple of small ponds that have produced fish year after year . Like on all tractor work
Glad to here it ! The years in grass boosted the soil organic matter . As you continue to crop the land you will loose organic matter and the soil will become less productive.
@PineyGroveHomestead drove hydro tractors for years and I know what I am talking about. The only reason that tractor will last a long time is because it will only be used 50 hours a year.
Those two bottom plows are hard to find. I always had a problem making a straight line on that first plow. Then the rest of them furrows is like a bow. That makes harvesting a little tricky.
I will have to say I always had wondered how a hydrostatic tractor would handle a plow. 45 hp gear trans tractor will handle 3 16” all day but definitely cans see the torque loss with the hydrostatic trans but definitely a good video really expected it to be weaker
I don’t know if you’ve ever plowed like this but we always for the first pass go up then back down make it with a furrow on each side and keep going back and forth and you will end with a furrow on each side but it’s easier
A 3901 Kubota is not a 40 HP tractor. I own one. It is 37.5 HP. I am ready to buy a 4701 now. I started with a 2501. I have an old JD two bottom Trip plow and I am sure my 3901 would pull it but I use a Rotary Tiller now and parked the plow.
I just did all that on my vegetable farm with a John deer 1023 it's not the color of the tractor it's how the tractor is put together all tractor or good long as they work
Reminds me of the mindset of the dustbowl farmers. Screw that perennial grass! Dessertify your soil for a crop that can only make money if it’s subsidized heavily. Way to go!
Over time yes , but if you studied the effects of the Dust Bowl there were a lot of things weather wise and lack of knowledge that contributed to that developmental cause.
I love how people always want to talk about the horsepower on their tractors but the horsepower don't mean shit what is impressive about tractors is the amount of torque they have and that is what gets your work done not the horsepower the horsepower is how fast you do to work the torque is how well you do the work you can have all the horsepower in the world but without any torque all you would do is sit there
It's got the 3 speed hydro, so you can put it in low range, but in really dry ground it might struggle. In loose ground, it should get the job done but don't expect to plow 40 acres!
You'll get a better result in the long run if you stop plowing after a couple years of this you'll be relying on fertilizer to keep your yield up. Good healthy top soil is not made with this method. Good luck.
1 acre?? You must have no deer where you are lol. I tried planting 5 and it all got eaten by the time the beans started to grow. Same with corn. Soon as the ears started to grow they ate it all to the ground within a week or two

Fill the front loader with dirt, and it will act the same as suit case weights giving the front end more traction and utilizing the 4wd better
No need
Good idea, that would always help when you're pulling, and it's a lot cheaper than branded counter weights.

Just a suggestion. Look into No Till Drill, in stead of plowing or tilling.

When using a tractor with a hydrostatic transmission don't let the oil get to hot or you will be replacing it
How would you know the temperature? None of them have gauges. These tractors are tougher than you think.

Is that an old Fo Mo Co plow? My granddad would sit on his 9n and plow any time he and grandma got into it. Never saw much of him in the house.

A lot of them old plows get turning into scrap. Need to snatch one up!

you sound like a reluctant tractor salesman... not meant as an insult, just giving my opinion.

You could have done the no till method which saves the top soil and soil bacteria!!!
don't have that kind of equipment
Tillage will work fine for some people, so long as you have a soil type well suited for it.
