I personally enjoy all your videos. We have Karen's and Darrens even in the farming communities, you keep doing what you do because I have 3 meals a day with a glass of milk and thank a farmer. God bless and be safe
I kinda choked up a little watching the 2 tractors plowing one behind the other, Grandpa was usually in front and I plowed behind him. Good memories. 😢
From old white haired farmer someone always knows your land and telling you how to farm it. Each farmer knows thier land and soil type what works best really like smile on your face while talking about it keep up the good work.
Only folks giving comments on a 10 pulling 6 are the guys that drive or pull their green tractors!😁 They are just jealous!! Keep on keeping on bud!!! Got 3 older Ih tractors here, wouldn't trade up for nothing!!!! My "BABY " Is my 1586, love that ole girl! Be safe my friend!
I too love to watch your plowing videos. I started plowing at the age of 10 on dad's WD Allis pulling a John Deere trip plow, 2-14s. It was an adventure plus a learning experience. He struck all the lands and finished the dead furrows. Fall plowing worked up so well in Spring; almost like our garden. Go for it, Alan!
One thing I have learned in my 70ish years of living is that you will never satisfy or please everyone, so don't even try, it is an exercise in futility. Do what works for you and leave it at that. Tractors sounding pretty good, looks like they handle those plows plenty good. Y'all have a good day now.
Yes, there is something therapeutic about plowing. We did many years of plowing with a JD 630 and a three-bottom plow. Turn on the lights and hear that 630 work into the dark hours. Those 1256 and 1066's were/are very good tractors.
In the early 70’s I worked for an IH dealer and I hauled new 66 series tractors out of the Rock Island Illinois Farmall factory. Great memories and it is good to see them still working👍 thanks for sharing!
I have to agree with you 100% on the relaxation of Plowing Fields. It had to be my favorite job on the farm, I would start Plowing after evening milking and go till 2 or 3 in the morning. I kinda got Chewed on for plowing so late, But it was mt Therapy. I really love turning over new ground or old hay feilds, Had to be the best. Thanks for sharing this video, Has brought back many great memories.
I always enjoy your videos alan. You know what it takes for your land to produce and you do great. Big red looked mighty fine out there as well. We always mold board plowed and it worked just fine.
You sir are definitely not hurting either one of those tractors anyone that knows anything can tell those engines are running so free in this video good job
Many many years ago when I was a teenager the one dairy farm I worked on had a 1066 Turbo and it pulled a 6 bottom plow with no problem! I agree with you I just loved moldboard plowing back in the day! Great video! 👍😎
We’ve pulled a 5x16 with an 886 turned up to about 100hp for the whole life of the tractor and the plow as they were bought brand new together back in 1977. Hay ground about 5.5 miles and hr, corn ground about 6.5 mph. I couldn’t care less what others say, it’s been doing it for 47 years and we’re in the middle of plowing this year just like always.
TD, Well said. I have many hours plowing and I get the therapeutic aspect. Nice to see your boys working and learning. One of the best things my father thought me how to work and maintain equipment. Thanks, Boe
What an absolutely beautiful picture of the two tractors plowing as the sun was setting, highlighting the tree tops in the distance and the clouds in the sky. What a gorgeous framed picture that would have made. We are but stewards of the land. Just keep farming the way you were taught - O.J.T.
A real nice video! I promise you, your kids, grandchildren, and great grandchildren will watch this video decades from now. I feel fortunate. There are a few clips on 8 mm of Dad chopping corn and filling silos back on a farmall H was the big horse. probably 30 seconds total. That 8 mm film and processing was darn expensive back in the day :-) even though they’re short I enjoy watching them. Yours will be a treasure. Thanks for sharing it with us!
No idea why anybody thinks that's six bottom would be overloading on a 1066. It would barely know it's back there. My brother in law pulled a 5 bottom ( 20 inch bottoms ) so be pretty much identical to his 6 bottom 16 inch ( the 5 bottom would be 4 inches wider actually) he pulled that with a 986 or his 4240 Deere on hills and did it for years lol thenwe
You do you Alan, we were a small farm in our area and we always had someone telling us we were doing something wrong, but it worked for us! we must have done something right because we were around way after all the others gave up. You are doing an awesome job and your family is great!
Awesome video! Do what ever is best for your family! I hope you and your family have a great time together! I live in NC and farmers here still turn over their soil. My parents planted several acres of land in a large garden and several acres of sweet corn. We sold fresh produce to neighbors and a several flea markets. We always had the land turned over in the fall after having manure spread over the land. Thanks for sharing your farm and your family with us! ❤ Take care…❤❤❤❤❤
You have made my day. In this world, there are several layers of people. On here, you nailed 4. Great channel by the way. I hope you have a great growing season
We pulled a 6 bottom for years with a 1066. About 130 hp. We pulled a 5 bottom with a turbo jd 4020. Now we pull a 6 with a 4455 when we need to mold board. But we mostly chisel and no till. Youre old school and its cool. Keep it up.
Soil temp for corn is definitely an issue this far north. I loved your commentary about the comments. I was looking forward to reading the comments on this one. 😁
I’m a minimum till farmer. I hate no till philosophy because we recognise risks of tillage but we compare them to benefits then decide which way we go. That’s every day decision making as a farmer - decide what works for you! Keep up the videos - top job 👌👍
Great video, Brother! Love watching those two old binders running up against the governor and putting in the work. Obviously, they can handle despite the naysayers. Very much enjoyed your comments on some of the other comments you receive. I was cracking up listening to that. Prayers for you and your family and the farm. Looking forward to a good planting and bountiful harvest. God Bless!
LOL Those old tractors work best wide open heavy load. My Grandfather had them on his farm. They are basing there concern of ruining the tractor on the fact the new auto hydraulic ones would overheat and literally melt beneath you. LOL
Yes, I would love a two-hour video of moldboard plowing. No till fields usually look horrible, but I respect those who farm that way. RED POWER!! 1066s are The Kings. Everyone I have ever met would take them over the 14s and 15s. Thanks, Alan. You made my morning.
We pulled a six bottom plow with a case 1070 & a five bottom with a ford 7710. Almost cause wrecks on the road from farmers rubbernecking to watch that 7710 cruise thru. Your land, your iron - u know what you’ve got. 👍
@@cyholt6374yeah you can actually no problem at all. I don't know why everybody thinks you need a huge tractor on a plow. I plowed with a 5 bottom ( 20 inch bottoms) with a 4040 Deere 2wd onland hitch. Sod or stubble didn't matter. My neighbors had a 7 bottom they pulled with a 2-135 White.
@@ronniewayne5748 not saying ford tractors are junk.. but when it come to hard and heavy pulling. 6 cyl deere and IH tractor are the way to go.. just proven facts.. can’t help y’all are dumb
Enjoyed your video. Yes I enjoy plowing is one of my favorite things. Open station love the smell. Your ground looks very good awesome. Nice work have a great day .
Just mount a camera on the tractor and record the whole day!! It’s your land,your equipment. You know it better than anyone. That plow is what your 1066 is designed to do.
First I Really Like Your Dairy Set Up.If It's Working For You Then That's Wonderful I'm 63 Years Old And Live In Pennsylvania Northeast Pa. I Worked On Dairy Farms In My Younger Days My Mother Used To Take Me To Work I Started At 12 yrs and Learned Each Farmer Has His Way Of Doing Things If It's Not Broken Don't Fix It Everyone Has Their Own Way of Doing it.I Really Enjoy Your Family And Farm Thanks For The Videos Blessings And Please Be Safe ✌️
Hey Al and Family .the Videos always nice to see .where a Family do with "love" her daily work !! It is impressive ! Nice to see the older strong Red tractors do the plough work . We have a John Deere 920 too ,which we only use to control daily our pastures from the cows an young cattle .and control the fence and cleaning the barn courtyard space . Best greetings from East Frisia in North West Germany from Bert !
Always used the new Holland 841 round baler right from early 1980’s, For contract baling mainly straw hay and silage never ever had any problems probably because it was brand new🇬🇧🇮🇪.
‘No till mafia’ 😅. That’s the first time I’ve ever heard that. I get lots of free advice on my channel too. Seems like plowing gets lots of comments for us too. Rock picking gets attention too. I enjoy your creativity in solving farm problems.
It makes sense to plow rocky ground from this perspective...the rocks go through freeze/thaw cycles and move up with time but when they reach the surface they just concentrate there. Plowing brings less concentrated rock/soil to the surface and buries the concentrated rock layer below root (and planter, harvester) depth. Maybe that's how it works anyway.
As a teen on P.E.I. Canada I used to plow with an 8N Ford tractor and a two sod plow. That was in the late 1950ies and early 1960ies. Thanks for the great video!
Hey neighbor I'm in Nova Scotia. The potato farms in PEI still moldboard plow everything. And they're getting as high 33,000 lbs of potato to the acre when a few of them stopped plowing and just did discing last year's potato fields potato yields dropped to 27,000 pounds an acre.
It is your farm. Don't worry what others say. Do it your way.
I love how everyone having never stepped foot on your farm has an opinion on how you farm or how you should farm. Keyboard farmers!
I personally enjoy all your videos. We have Karen's and Darrens even in the farming communities, you keep doing what you do because I have 3 meals a day with a glass of milk and thank a farmer. God bless and be safe
I kinda choked up a little watching the 2 tractors plowing one behind the other, Grandpa was usually in front and I plowed behind him. Good memories. 😢
Yeah, I remember following him in the 830,with that 4 bottom plow, and both feet on one brake, trying to keep it in the furrow.
😊 those were good memories!
Yep the days we used to plow with a 4040 no cab and a 4240 with cab and 5-16" on both, Dad in the lead with the cab 🙂 Great memories
I guess yee guys are brothers? Or first cousins.
Brothers
I'm glad you can laugh at these couch farmer want a be
The two most satisfying parts of grain farming are the smell of fresh worked soil and bringing in the harvest. Love your videos.
From old white haired farmer someone always knows your land and telling you how to farm it. Each farmer knows thier land and soil type what works best really like smile on your face while talking about it keep up the good work.
❤😊IS THE OTHER 770 PLOW OPERATIONAL ???????? ❤😊
👀🙄🐾👍Great video Alan and Jennifer and the boys neither tractor seemed to be working that hard drive
Alan, I have learned then if you get it plowed in the crops grow and you like the looks of it that's all that matters
I love your comments about the comments. Thanks for all you do.
Both tractors and both sets of plows did a beautiful job of turning the corn stalks and grass under
Thanks for your opening remarks. Loved seeing your son with the grease gun. Nice plowing video. Love your family.

I always enjoy your videos alan. You know what it takes for your land to produce and you do great. Big red looked mighty fine out there as well. We always mold board plowed and it worked just fine.
I enjoy watching videos that are using "old school" equipment. Brings back lots of memories. Keep on doing what you're doing.

Paul is a good one always seems like he is always there to help you out
Good to hear your thoughts at the beginning of the video about the comments and the way you take care of your farm. You gotta do what works for you.
I love seeing the experts come out. Every one of them is a super farmer and nothing you do is right. I just shake my head and laugh
Keep those tractors rolling!! Farm the way that works best for you and your operation. Take care...
Now this Big Red, double team plowing is really cool; sights and sounds!
We’ve pulled a 5x16 with an 886 turned up to about 100hp for the whole life of the tractor and the plow as they were bought brand new together back in 1977.

Do your own thing glad you shared bless you
I enjoy plowing videos where I can hear the diesel engines running. It’s relaxing and usually puts me to sleep.
I enjoy your videos so much and appreciate that you all take the time to make them. Thank you! Plus, had to laugh at the "no till mafia" 😂
Plowing makes a good operator for all other dirt turning tools.!
What an absolutely beautiful picture of the two tractors plowing as the sun was setting, highlighting the tree tops in the distance and the clouds in the sky. What a gorgeous framed picture that would have made. We are but stewards of the land. Just keep farming the way you were taught - O.J.T.

You have made my day. In this world, there are several layers of people. On here, you nailed 4. Great channel by the way. I hope you have a great growing season
Always love the small of the soil after it's plowed also like the looks of a good plowed field!👍
I always loved plowing. It’s relaxing. And I always tried to get the furrow as straight as possible.
I have lived by this quote "HATER ARE MOTAVERATES" Love videos my dad farmed with a 1256
You know what works for you. Ignore the naysayers. I enjoy watching your videos always good content. Thanks for sharing.
2:32............I am one who loves watching videos of moldboard plowing.
Plowing and corn picking videos are my favorite videos on the internet.
hi from france very beautiful video thank you

Great job and yes I’m one those guys that will watch an entire 2 hrs of plowing, one of my favourite things to do each year
I can smell the dirt coming out of my IPad 😂. Love you all ❤
I try to plow at least 40 acres every year and it always has the best weed control
No till Mafia, I like that. Keep plowing, it's your farm. Number of bottoms, depends on the soil type, if it works for you, go for it.
I’m a minimum till farmer. I hate no till philosophy because we recognise risks of tillage but we compare them to benefits then decide which way we go. That’s every day decision making as a farmer - decide what works for you!
Keep up the videos - top job 👌👍
Plow on my friend. Plow on. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great video Al and Paul, looks like it's doing a fantastic job. Love to watch those big reds at work!

Yes certainly the old 1066 looks a lot better with that breather cut down ❤
I can watch plowing all day long.
Beautiful soil
Love the vids. Just keep doing what you know. Your a good farmer. And a good dairy man.
LOL Those old tractors work best wide open heavy load. My Grandfather had them on his farm. They are basing there concern of ruining the tractor on the fact the new auto hydraulic ones would overheat and literally melt beneath you. LOL

Keep up the good work, love the plowing videos with those older workhorses doing what they were built for.
At over 14 feet in one pass you soon cover a lot of ground.👍
Great video older red iron working like it did 50 years ago

Looks good . I rather watch old Iorn then the new stuff that is why I like your Channel.
Love the equipment. Seriously.
Don't worry about it, you cant kill those tractors.

Those furrows are so smooth you don’t need to harrow before planting.😊😊😊
I agree, as we would say in Ireland ‘you could till that ground with a bang from your cap’ Good stuff Trinity Dairy
Great video as always.
I love your videos!! Brings back many memories of the 1066 I use to plow and do all kinds of farm work with. Thank you
Great video, Alen! You'll always have naysayers even when the proof is right in front of them. Even in my business and videos.
My dad did it 1066 and a 6 bottom plow for many years
Tell ‘em it’s not how ‘how to’ video it’s a ‘We do’ video! 👍

It makes sense to plow rocky ground from this perspective...the rocks go through freeze/thaw cycles and move up with time but when they reach the surface they just concentrate there. Plowing brings less concentrated rock/soil to the surface and buries the concentrated rock layer below root (and planter, harvester) depth. Maybe that's how it works anyway.
