I was taught if it was a 3-14 plow, take the full width of the first bottom and half the width of the second and add those together! That's 21 inches and then add 3 or 4 inches to that depending on tire size because you dont want the tires rubbing to hard on the furrow.
That's true you'll get furrow wear
Line of draft should be 25 inches on a 3-14. May have to adjust slightly depending on tires and the actual width of cut of the shares, depending on the brand of plow.
@@glenirwin1110 mine actually are at 25 inches...guess that's why it worked to a T
@@FarmallFanatic I saw that it was working textbook. Beautiful. How fast were you going? You could turn a lot of dirt in a day even with a small plow.
Maybe like 8mph?
Looks like that setup works just fine! The 756 sure did great pulling that 3 bottom. Nice work form you and the machine.
I can't tell you what a thrill that was for me. I am 71 now and my farming days are far behind, but I grew up on a 1000 acre farm/ranch in one of the southern mountain states. I learned to drive on a JD B and was plowing fields at 8 years old. We ran a F20 farmall, a TD9 IH crawler, a WD9 IH, a Case 811B, two John Deere B's and I had a Ford 3000 when I started farming on my own. I own only Kubotas now and really miss the old tech
Thank you for this video. I spent days on end as a kid turning furrows and even as a kid, loved every min. of it.
I am subscribed! LOL
💥 BOOM 💥
The Ol'Farmall 765 was sounding pretty good there. Looks like you're setup about right from the looks of how level the soil lays after being turned over. I haven't used a moldboard plow in years. The last time my Ol' Farmall 806 pulled the John Deere semi-mount 4 bottom x 14", I left the tractor setup at about 32" from the center of the tractor to the center of the rear tire. For just the Lil' Hay field, I wasn't going to mess with the setup. Thanks for the ride along. Happy Easter.
Hope you had a good weekend
I have to say great job with that little plow. The ground rolled perfectly level with the speed you were traveling. I always pulled 4 x 16 plows behind a JD 3020 that was a good outfit. We put a 5 x 16 JD plow behind a Massy Ferguson 1135 and never could get it to throw right. I was pretty young at the time and my grandfather was setting things up, so I can't answer you question. It certainly looked you had things set correctly! Jeff
So good watching soil being turned over... 🙌😊 Looking forward to viewing the new plough 🤞
we've always painted our plow bottoms after use every year. works great. grease seems to stick dirt to um till couple passes. each there own. Great video!!!
I'm not against paint
Looks like you’re right on the money with the setup Farmall!
I use a 311 on my 656 for garden and food plots.
The guy I bought this 311 off of used it on A656
You've definitely got the set up brother. That's the thing about my under powered tractor, the implements tend to pull u around.
I can't believe it's almost that time for planting corn 🌽 yum!
I still moldboard plow, just a lot less than my grandfather did back in the day. I try to run a 4-5yr rotation on fields between plowing. just works better in my soil that way.
Plowing looks like sooo much fun. Great video as always thanks for sharing. I still got a foot of snow and itching for spring!
It's the one thing I look forward to every year
Looks like the land was in good shape and the plow did a nice looking job.
Blessed Resurrection Sunday, Farmall 🙏🕊️💪💥
You know it 👊
Looks like you were cutting a great furrow keep up the good work I enjoy it
That setting looks just fine to me 👍 over here 🏴. We have the inner side walls of the front an rear tyres runnin perfectly in line then put a long straight edge against the two tyres and measure from there to landside of first plough body with plough running in the middle of the tractor and adjust wheels to suit furrow width our wheel settings can be altered in 2inch increments that is on the older tractors modern tractors are different, Red Power 💥💪
That's what I was doing this weekend. Wish the ground was as nice as yours but it was still fun.
It's nice to be out man
have not pulled a plough for years i really miss it thanks for the memories and you can just spray paint your bottoms to fight rust
Yeah that's the easier route put some rustolium on them
Turning some good looking dirt there my friend. 👍😁
You need to take the furrow wheel out 3 to 4 in. Wait to you get the first furrow then adjust for level then watch the throw of the moldboard and then adjust to you get even throw on all 3. Look really good on the those furrows. Nice and even.
Noticed you got chief points on those plows.
Yeah they are good points and easy to come by
Just a few acres just got a 756 with a German engine in it, love the videos ran a 986 806 and 460 when I was a kid on the farm👍
Yeah I saw that
When I was younger made dad and grandpa plowed all of our wheat stubble each summer after harvest. They would set the rear tire about 1 inch outside the furrow wall and then set the front tire to be up against the furrow wall. They talked about a tire condition called a "furrow break" that would cause damage to the rear tire if it contacted the furrow wall.
Now that's interesting
Looked perfect to me. Adjusted spot on. The IH didn't even know it was pulling a Plow. Now that's RED POWER.
You know it
Looking good 756 sounds great
Looks and sounds really good
Old drain oil applied with paint brush on the plow bottoms at the end of the year worked well for us . And we kept the plow in side the barn.
Both matters
How I miss sinking the plow into the ground behind our old 8n. I can still smell the soil. Good times, love seeing people still plow
Hello Gino of all the plowing I have done I have never changed the tire position. I have 16.9 34 and other tractor is 18.4 38. I have 14" 3 and 4 furrow. Looked great from my view watching your video
I'm not gonna change these either
Hope you Had a good Easter~! Oh you curved a little LOL (the little lights aren't twinkling Clark ) !!!LOLO LOL JUST KIDDING excellent job Farmall~!
Hope you did as well!
Soil is mostly sandy loam, from the moisture it is breaking fairly good 👍 if it was clay loam or heavy clay it would be throwing out big slabs cause clay type soils don't generally break as fine as yours is doing.... we tried to get all ours broke in the fall, doing it in the spring could cause late planting if followed by a period of wet weather... I always tried to run a field cultivator or disk harrow just as soon as I could behind freshly broke ground..
If I had help, I'd have someone discing a few hours behind me. It's that good of ground
Great video my friend
I think it is so cool how a couple passes make that three bottom loo brand new 👍🏻
sand laden soil, scours quickly .
Good job man good video
Good job!
Jerking up new ground with that Big Red Mo-Sheen!..... Camera Shots on point for us riders!
Ridin' dirty!
Nice throw. Good speed.
Hey FF, nice tractor!! She sounds sweet!
Trade ya lol
The Chief Regulator and Big Red rides again! Yeah, I still turn land with a moldboard plow and cut it with a disk harrow. 💣
Regulators Mount Up!
Generally I'll measure one bottom off furrow tire. And just sight the old eye ball at tire and bottom. If there lined up or close make a round and see what it does. I have all 3 point though. Looks like yours is setup great!
Seems to be
Happy Easter. Looks fine to me. I can smell the freshly turned dirt from way over here.
Are you Bill Snipes on fb?
18.4-34s work fine in 14" furrows. When I was a boy, my dad had an Oliver 5-14 plow and he pulled it with an 806, and two 4-14 plows that were pulled with a WD-9 and 650 respectively. All those tractors have 18.4-34s and they ran in the furrows fine. Using standard tread tractors means you don't adjust the wheels on the tractor but the hitch on the plow. We now use a 6-16 IH trailing type plow and the hitch is set so the tractor stays out of the furrow. We either use a 1066 with 18.4-38 duals or 1206 with 24.5-32 singles, so no wheel in the furrow. That 311 plow would be nice on the 400.
Yeah would be I wish it had a fast hitch
Some of us still plow. I've got a 411 4x14 fasthitch behind my 706. Plowed a 50 plus year old sheep pasture, 5.5 acres. It was slow, hard, and like concrete. Sod stood up on edge. Couldn't go fast enough to completely turn it over. Should have left the loader on for front weight. Front end, (wide), spent a third of the process up in the air. Your ground looks great.
I figure if I get that front weight bracket on there with 700 pounds I should be good with 411
We had a 656 and a 460 with 2 sets of 4 bottoms, we set the wheels out that gave better traction and both those tractors would pull those 4 bottoms all day long no problem.
Nice!
Doing pretty good 👍
thats awesome
Filmed Saturday? I was in Troy to check out that big auction and it was serious culture shock with the weather. I left 34 degrees and snow. An hour and a half South and it was 55. You even got sun.
Yea, I got a break in the weather and went for broke
We had a set just like your 3 bottoms. We used it on our 460. We couldn"t keep the depth firm, it always wanted to go deeper. I prefer trailor plows.
You have to either use the draft control or set your depth wheel
My dad's 766 pulled 5 14s in low 4 no problem you did pretty job plowing
I think with the right ground you can pull that easily
Your the plow master👍
💥Boom 💥
Looks good nice plowing job. One hit with the disc a pass with the cultimulcher and plant.
For sure
Hey Farmall, I noticed that the rear skins on the 756 are the same brand of tire I have on my super M TA.
Interesting 🤔
Great job of plowing looks like you could go in high first gear and throttle down! How many rpms were you running ? The ol 7 was screaming at us
I was full throttle in low 4
happy Passover 👋🤓
Nice work.
I had an IHC M and Olivers.
Did you ever measure fuel used per acre plowing ?
Happy Passover
Nice machines 👍
My job as a kid was to paint the moldboards when we finished plowing. Always used paint bought cheap at farm or garage sales. Any color but green!
Exactly 💯
Nice job!! Nice 756
Man U were doing some speed plowing!!
Lol oops 😬
One thing about being a little over powered for the plow is you can flat roll with it. 756 is sounding good.
There's no doubt about that
We used to run 2 6 bottom that you could flip at end of a threw. Used 2 7240s 4x4 tractors
You would definitely need that much tractor
Sod turning season 💪❤️
Handsome tractor my friend ! Get that turning dirt 👍🏻🍺 send me a smell too …😂
I could actually still smell the cow manure in it from spreading years ago
We match the plow to the tire
Basically what you’re doing
Also strait plowing looks good but it’s not life or death if it meanders to avoid death traps
Agree 👍
Centerline of pull (tractor side) and centerline of draft (plow side) should be one in the same. Centerline of draft isn't as cut-and-dry as I originally thought. Then you want your real wheels set equally. Mounted plows don't have nearly as many adjustments as a trailer plow or semi-mount, which simplifies things, but often means compromises as well. There's a DVD out there called "A Guide to Better Plowing" that goes into detail on Centerline formulas and equations.
Great lead on the video 📹 👏
@@FarmallFanatic no problem! I think there's a preview on here somewhere
For 14", 16" plows is usually 26 inches from the centerline of the drawbar to the inside of the tire, for in furrow and semi-mount plows.
I'm an inch off at 25
Looks good ! You ever use a "roll over" moldboard ?
Funny you mention that 😁
Watching the soil flip over..... to me that is the perfect size plow for the tractor. Unless you can get identical results with a 4 bottom plow?
That's what I wanna find out. Definitely have to have front weight to even try
We still moldbord plow and we use a jd4040 and IH 720
AH that ole tractor sounds great!! Im new to plowing, I have a 2 bottom the same size blades as yours, I used it this year and probably have it set up wrong because I guessed at it. Thanks for the items to check and make sure it dont damage my tires next time I set it up. Mine dont have that depth wheel, it was extremely difficult to hold the depth that I wanted. any recommendations to fix that?
What tractor do u have?
@@FarmallFanatic 2002 Mahindra 4500 2 wheel drive
Nice looking ground there, didnt see one rock. What will you be planting?
Corn and soybeans
I’m new to you channel... the planting you do... is it for person, for sale or just a hobby? I haven’t had a chance to watch all of your videos. I do love the auction video!
I sell the grain
@@FarmallFanatic awesome! Great videos!
Makes me want to hook to my 5 bottom that hasn’t broke ground since I reclaimed 10 acres 10 + years ago! Great vid
What do you do just brush hog it?
@@FarmallFanatic brush hogged, brought an excavator home to clear 2 rock piles and misc trees from not being worked in decades then preceded to break something on every bottom of my hydraulic reset JD 5 bottom behind my 4020… expensive clearing but it’s a clay loam that drains well with no tile. Plus had an agreement with the landlord for no rent for 5 years after I cleared it…. Corn first year was awesome
Oh I bet...natural nitrogen
@@FarmallFanatic plus I forgot to mention it was horse pasture for decades….natural and poop
I grew up on Massey 880 semi mounts I have no idea the correct way set up a three-point plow
Where are your rocks? Looked like it was doing a beautiful job. Keep up the good work!
Thankfully don't have many 😁
Never clicked so fast man
Appreciate it 👊
I was always taught to do 2 in deeper than half it's width. In other words.. if you're running a 14-in plow you got to be plowing 9 in deep 2 in deeper than 7 in which would be half the width of a 14 inch plow
That makes perfect sense to me
How much fuel does the 756 use per hour comparison to a diesel 756? Happy Easter my friend
I know I use about 3 and a 1/2 gallons per hour
Farmall fanatic..lookup Aumann auctions April 19th auction in Laconia Indiana....Lots of IH ....
Will do
I sure would like to get in the field but it's way too wet. Supposed to get up to 5 inches of snow Monday into Tuesday....
Horrible
Ran 4 14s with 966 and 1086 for years with 18.4 tires dont ask me how lol it just worked grandpa did it i never got in on much lol. I ran the 5488 with 20.8s but it was pullin 6 20s and it just toyed with the tractor
I just crushed the one side of the furrow lol
As you can see it flips the dirt over and covers up the wheel marks just fine. My dad was following me with a 1066 with 20.8s and I had a 14" plow. You couldn't even tell the difference.
Man a 5488 and a three by three large square baler would be a dream for me
👍👍
Happy Easter!!!
Happy Easter
I tried to plow with a set of these with my Farmall a and it kept bogging down. Any suggestions?
Farmall A?
I pull a 311 plow with my 460 utility. I have a weight bracket on the front of my tractor like what’s on the 56 series
That would definitely work
@@FarmallFanatic yes it does! Took most of the fluid out of the rear tires and put wheel weights on so I’ll see how that works this spring. Suit case weights sure help steer the front end
Oh screw the curves! As long as the grounds turned it’s all that matters! Now let’s ride!! Shined em up! Now grease em! Moldboard plows rock! I’ll never stop!
As long as your crop rows are arrow straight. Can't fix that once it's off and everyone will give you grief all year long.
💥BOOM 💥
We left the 656 set at a center to center width of 76 inches or matched up to the proper set for 38" rows.
I think I'm about 50" currently, but I believe that's gonna have to go to about 62 for a 4 bottom
@@FarmallFanatic A two bottom 16 required a center to center of 64-inches and that was a lot of work to accomplish on the Fordson 2000 we had (removing and flipping the wheel centers). It was nice when we got the 656 with three 16's and did not have to touch the 76" centers. The JD's our neighbors had were the same, set to 76" centers for four 14's. I hope some of the other old guys will speak up because I am not sure your calcs are correct.
Well I'm at 50" for 3x14s...can't be more than another 11 to 14 inches for an additional 14 inch bottom. You saw me plowing with a 3x14 on 50" centers, can't deny success
How fast were you going across there plowing? Looked awesome
Fast lol
@@FarmallFanatic get it done 😆
There's a 706 gas for sale in Campbell's like KY 3600 hour's For $3500 nice looking tractor just what you like
You really think that's a working tack? The 756 has a bigger platform and more comfortable seat
Just a good straight original gas Farmall I know you like them alot when been well kept
How'd the power steering line go
Pretty good just ran a hydraulic line
I have a IH 4 bottom roll over mold board l bought from a cotton farmer south of Texarkana, paid 500 hundred for, don't use it every year. Love that plow. Wish I had instructions on how to set the plow up, it will start leaving dips in the furrow, ant suggestions.

I just got done plowing 74 acres with a 2-14, plow, hooked to a JD 2030 gas tractor, its the only plow i have..and it would have taken 3 or 4 times longer if i used my fergerson T0-30.. the land was in CRP. For 15 years so i wanted to turn it, i have a big disk and drag but i needed it turned over for fresh hay crop... i think the 1066 would have been over kill.. ,
That's a lot of seat time 👍
I tried to set my Kubota M7060 up as close as possible but still only able to run the 1st row about 10" wide, not the full 16" wide. So, it is what it is.
Why only 10" wide?
