    Back in the late sixties, at 13,I was in the seat of a John deere 4020 with 5-16's. Plowed all day and into the dark. Best times of my life! Morris Illinois. Thanks

    What is it about plowing videos that is so interesting to watch? My dad always plowed his garden to cover up all the grass clippings he out in it all summer. I think that’s why I enjoy these videos.

    I think back when I was a kid in the 80s we had a 806 with a 4 bottom a 986 with a 4 bottom and a 1066 with a 5 bottom and some rare days we would have 656 with a 3 bottom. All plowing at max speed of 3 miles per hour. That one Delta tractor and plow gets more done than we all got done all day.

    I grew up on a farm in central Indiana in the 70's and spent many hours doing this. Except I was on a JD 4440 with no cab. It had a white/orange umbrella over the seat and a corroded AM radio on the left fender. I was too short to reach the pedals and my uncle strapped a 30 lb bag of corn to the seat so I could reach! lol Many nights I could see my Aunt coming across the field in a pickup truck to make me come in. No joke, I was a workin' fool even back then. Liked and subbed

    Back in the early 80"s here in greenville ohio worked for a big farmer Bill Mcowen , He had a 4786 IH turned up to about 550 hp and we pulled a custom dmi plow 14 bottom 16 inches wide , Was still way to much for it finally blew the transmission after about 120 hours of use .

I guarantee you that PhD behind your name is a lie because I seen multiple posts by you and every one of them you've proven to be a moron that has literally no idea what you're talking about! Style plowing is one of the absolute most destructive things you can do to your soil. First it tends to blow away but more then anything you kill off all your soil biodiversity by doing this!

    What causes the plow to jump up and down? My dad has a small farm however 90% of the grain planting was done either before I was too young to remember, different farm, or after I left home and was married so I'm not that familiar with plowing. We mostly did hogs and stuff like that when I was growing up.

      GMO corn means genetically modified, basically the seed companies can take genes from other plants and put it into the corn so that it has different attributes, such as drought tolerance, pest resistance, or just general increased yield. Non-GMO would lack these features but probably has a higher value due to Non-gmo marketing.
      Hope this helped!
