  • Big Tractors Plowing in Illinois. In this video I am out in the field with a farm in Illinois in the fall of the year as they are plowing under harvested corn fields. I was out here two different days as the first day it was raining and snowing and git a little slippery on top.
    On the first day I was here they were running their Versatile 550 Delta Track Tractor pulling a Salford 14 bottom moldboard plow and their Challenger 1042 tractor pulling a Salford 10 bottom plow.
    When I was back two weeks later they were running the Versatile Delta Track and 14 bottom plow but had switched the 10 bottom plow to their Cat 855B Challenger and they also had their Case IH 340 half track Magnum Tractor on a John Deere model 3710 8 bottom plow.
    This farm grows non GMO corn and soybeans and moldboard plowing works out great for them.
    Thanks for watching and please LIKE, COMMENT and SUBSCRIBE.

    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

      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.
