Plow did a nice job.
great looking okra...
Thanks Thomas
Great video!! Love watching your channel!
Thank You Dan.
From the looks of the holes on that multi-point hitch on the front, that plow has seen a lot of use.
Agree with that. I need to work on the handles some this winter.
I love the smell of fresh plowed Earth...
Good job my Grand Father taught me how to plow a mule when I was around 10 years old. That was a big thrill for me I always wanted to farm more than just a garden. I finally have a place in Arkansas where I can have a big garden. Just got to stop the deer from eating my peas and okra up. Going to try what Danny at homestead farm uses. Bills bone sauce hope it works for us like it does for him. Thank you for reminding me of a memory from 69 years ago. God bless.
Hey Roger
Thanks for watching. I hope that sauce works for you.
If I were you I would use the deer prevention method Joey uses. It works much better than the bone sauce.
I don't think it will replace the rolling cultivator any time soon. It did a great job!
Your right about that for sure.
Looks good. That looks like a one horse turner to me. Maybe you can find a regular plow stock, and some scooters, scrapes and wings for cultivating. Keep up the good work.
I need to go all in and get me a horse. Naw just kidding .lol

Hello Thanks for watching.
I like your hat
First time I have seen horse drowned tools being pulled by a farna,l tractor. It made me wo der if a cat. 0 turningng plow could be made to mount to the back where you tied the chain to pull from? I have had a old model A farmall for 50 years. Last week I got a 1954 FARMALL 100. It only has cultivators on it now. I hope to get a turning plow and planter. I have a friend that has a planet jr two row. That is what I would I think because you can plant any size seed frm onions to pinto beans with it. Keep up with the great videos. Would enjoy more videos of you singing .
I just used it for fun to get the experience. Lol
👍
Leaning the plow will guide it, pulling up on the handles will make it plow deeper and pressing down on the handles will make is more shallow. That is what I remember from many years ago. Cultivating with sweeps and half sweeps work the same. What is the width between your rows when laying off with your 140? All the best from Greensboro NC.
You're right Gwayne. Also letting the chain out longer will make the plow go deeper.
The hole adjustment on the end of the plow also help to control depth. What is the row width when laying off rows with the 140? All the best, Wayne
Hey Gwayne
I’m pretty sure my rows are 44 inch from center to center on the rear tires.
Never knew okra needed hilling. That looks great though and I bet that plow has a lot less rust on the blade now.
That’s a good thought. I’ve just always laid stuff by . Just seems to hold moisture longer in a hill.
@@Jtwes my dad said they always did it to inhibit weed growth and to like you said to retain moisture.
Hi Joey! I remember my grandfather using that same type of plow when I was a small child. I was fascinated at how pretty the rows were when he finished each one. Thanks for sharing a great memory. Hope your family is well and safe. Blessings!
Thank You Torri
I never got to see that. I know they did use them but by the time I came along they were using tractors.
Glad you enjoyed it. I will look and see if I have any more 27 points. Thanks for the channel mention. Looking forward to plow day. Good people are far and between. Have a good one.
Hey Alvis
Thank you. I really look forward to using it some more.
We have quite a few of them old plows, one is solid iron.I would like to take two of them and make a 2bottom plow for the 140 anyway enjoying your channel
Doing a good job , practice makes perfect , congratulations, enjoy , have fun , my father used a plow like this with horses back in the 30& 40's , did not own a tractor , amazing talent & very hard work ! Memories , I only have a very few pictures of the farming back then !!!
Hey Robert
Thanks for watching. I would have liked to have seen them working in a field.
Great video Joey! Looks like your services are needed over there by that white Dodge truck on Jack stands .
Elliott decided he wanted to rebuild his front end. He did most of the work. I changed his ball joints .
Awesome using the horse plow. Brings back many memories going up in Oklahoma.
Thank You Randy
I just wanted to do a few videos on old equipment. Thanks for watching.
Looks cool to me. Not sure I would try it but that’s just me!
Come on over Wave I’ll set it up a round for you. Lol
Down here in Alabama we are getting a lot of rain it should be coming ya'll's way
Just watched Danny trying to keep his pond dam from washing away.
Great job Joe! You laid that by like an old hand. I remember Grandpa had a small wooden beam turning plow he used to lay stuff by with called a Boy Dixie.
Might have to come up with a name for mine. Lol
@@Jtwes I think Boy Dixie was the brand name of the plow.
slide the bracket holding the chain to the outside of the tractor. You are fighting it too much. lean plow handles left and right to control your plow. Keep plowing and you will get it figured out. Good video as always....thanks
You're correct about the plough being used for multiple tasks, it was the basic tool every farmer started with since the advent of civilized agriculture. Even today l still watch the Amish in my area use them for everything possible when it comes to vegetable farming, it's fun to watch, but it's a hard way to work the land day in and day out.
I can believe that for sure. It was still fun though.
The plow did everything you had hoped for, but It looked like you had about all the fun you wanted! Glad you have the 140. What’s up with the older white Ram? I doubt Wil is just doing an oil change. If he is I know an easier way. Sorry.
That’s Elliotts project truck. He has done good on it. I just step in every so often on the technical stuff but he has done most of the work on it.
We used a similar plow behind a cub tractor to break up the acre garden spot every spring. About 2/3 was red clay, so tough pull on the cub. And I always was barefoot, couldn't stand the pebbles and dirt getting in my shoes.
I bet you could wield a fast hitch prong on that plow .
You can not buy those points today unless someone already has one. BUT......you can get a Blacksmith to make you one....that is how yours was made. Nice plow
Hey BL
I’ve seen some on eBay. Not sure if they would work or not.
Another great video. Never used a plow behind a horse, but spring tooth harrow and a few other implements.
Had hopes you received some moisture to water in your new planting. We have not hard rain since the first part of June. Running irrigation water about 24 / 7. Looks like the 100 degree days might end in ten days or so.
Busy with all kinds of harvest and fighting weeds in the vegetables.
Was nice to watch the video with your family. Enjoyed seeing your better half, instead of a red tractor, LOL.
Take care and keep cool. Blessings to everyone at your home.
Hey Jack
Thank You. We did get some rain the other night. It rained about 2 1/4 inches.
This is Bill again.
you did a great job. I had a few hours behind one of those. it's fun for a while, but it's work by the end of the day. but you did a lot better than I did on my first day.
Hey Bill
I don’t think I would have wanted to be behind that plow all day. Lol
There’s a s shackle made just for that plow
I am a 71-year-old Union County, NC guy and when I was growing up dad used a plow like this in his horse farming. He called it a turn plow to help break ground. They also made them that will throw the dirt the opposite way. For plowing between the rows dad used a straight plow stock to which he would bolt what he called a bull tongue and added a wing which were made with different angles depending how you want the dirt thrown. You might want to look at some of the Amish sites to view some of these. I think there is also a site called Working with Horses.
Hey Theron
I’ve watched Working with horses quite a bit. I enjoy that channel. Thanks for watching and commenting.
That old phrase, laying it by, I had not heard that since my great uncle used to say it concerning something he was doing in his garden, think I was about 8 years old.
Thanks for sharing this with us, plow did a fine job👍
I guess we used it a lot around here because that was one of the milestones to hit with your tobacco crop.
I think we lost a lot when we quit using horses/mules, one being efficiency and the other accuracy. But we did trade that for faster with less manual labor - as I think you'll agree on. 😆 It did do a nice job of laying that dirt by though. 👍God bless.
It wrapped it up as good as my disk would have maybe even better.
Pretty work ! Pretty work ! The old tools can still get it done. Never plowed with a mule or horse. Looks like you laid it by with the tractor. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work. Have a good day.
Thank You Tommy.
Ole red mule ! Lol
Now you just need a team of mules! You can sell that ole tractor. Lol 👍
I don’t think this old mule could keep up. Lol Thanks for watching.
I think deep down I was hoping for a horse in the video.
Me too. I would love to have one.
I thank I might have a point for it I’ll look throw my starch
Thanks Dylan. It’s in real good shape. I just thought I would get a extra one.
Could you just imagine doing 40 to a100 acres with just that omg you have to give credit where credit is due
Agree 100%
JT what about the new boots?
Hey Mike
You talking about the Hisea boots.
Yes sir
Why in the world would you go to Charlotte from where you live? I grew up near Charlotte and worked there for 50 years and live 25 miles from there now and I hate the thoughts of going there. It’s not what it used to be. I hope you were armed!
Hey Bobby
We were wiring a apartment. Lol
The name and number what size is. On the Back of the Wing😊
Thanks Roger.
Lay that plow to the right
I wasn’t sure which way they laid them thanks.
