In Reply to: Re: How to plow a field? posted by BOB UK on Monday, March 14, 2005:
Using a 1974 Massey 175 tractor with a three blade plough. It's heavy in construction with a 12 inch attached rubber tire and extender that goes to the ground for support on the drivers side. Once hooked up I raise this off the ground, without it down I cannot attach because the plough just falls over. Also not sure if it is used at all during ploughing. It has also a steel tail wheel on the back to keep it straight when in use. First time farmer and first time ploughing a field, no idea how to use this but have seen your description on how to use but no luck. Have adjusted it every way I can but does not want to fully turn over the soil no matter how deep or or fast I run it even to a point were the front end comes up in high number one gear. Weeds had been growing for one season only and I have cut them down to the ground, the soil is fairly dry and has approx. 11 inches of black soil before sandy loam. When I adjust it usually the drivers right side blade turns over but can never get more then two blades at any time. Does the concentration of weeds have any effect on it?. Any details at all would be appreciated.....Mitchell
