My Dad bought a set of Ford 101 in 1974, he had never owned a tractor or anything other than a Horse and plow before or used them. He bought a 3000 Ford at the same time and I learned to run all of that and I still have them to this day! I had never known all of this about those adjustments until I watched your videos! Thanks! It’s answered a lot of questions I’ve had all these years and I’m 60 years old now!
PLOWING Basics as explained to me when i was very young, and you have covered them in previous videos. # 1 Always turn the dirt UP hill! and #2 never plow going up and down on a Hill! if You do you wont have any dirt left to plow very soon! everyone wanting to try this, Do NOT be afraid to mess up! and take the Nike motto and Just Do It! You will be surprised at what you will then be able to A, Learn on your own & B, Understand what Mtnfarmer is explaining if you pay attention. Practice makes Perfect with this. Again Great Video
Appreciate the response on the draft control. My tractor only has position control so the depth is dependent on the idiot on the seat. Great content, best of luck for the season.
Here in Tennessee we have always use a 2 or 3 bottom disc plow. i have always use one, just a few days ago i got a ford 2 bottom plow. just like this one you have but a 2 bottom. the disc plow works good for cutting root, rocks stumps ECt, Guess i will see how a bottom plow works around here. good videos on the set up... the disc type plow setup about the same.
Thank you so much for these videos. I'm waiting on a new 14 inch two bottom plow from everything attachments. The information you were providing is extremely difficult to find nowadays. I'm in Rock Hill South Carolina Zone 7B. Red clay and bull tallow Clay on by 40-acre Farm
Thanks it all making sense now. The art of corn cob collage is doing. Sometimes you just have to do to pick it all up. I have never understood the draft completely until now. Also how to best use it. Thanks for helping us all get on track. Now gonna have to get a plough. O wait I do have one for the wrong tractor lol. Maybe I should get the tractor that fits the plough. Hmmm we all have to start somewhere.
The main reason most larger farms have gotten away from using a moldboard plow. Is fuel use and speed. They like it wide and fast these days. 28' 32' ft wide disk and 40' field cultivators.
Great news, I dont live on a farm now but when I did we used a Belgian for firewood, June was her name. And yup about 40 yrs ago, maybe more, I am 60 now, so I would have been 17...20 ish during that time. We did have a massey for hay and field work. Enjoy the channel.
I know this is an older video but I just found your channel. I have a 101 14" two bottom that needs some parts. Where did you find your wear parts? Really liking the channel a LOT of great information.
Your video has been by far the most informative. If you get a chance please answer my questions as much as you can I would really appreciate it. Thank you.
I was thinking about buying a three bottom plow just like yours, I only have a 52 hp tractor with 4x4. I have no clay and thankfully no rocks , do you think I could pull it?
I got my plow shins at Cox tractor in Kingsport Tn, my plow uses the same share and shin that yours does, Kingsport is probably not far from you. Maybe that will help you find some parts!!
Just curious i see that in your plow setup the 2 bottom arm in the 3 point seem fixed preventing lateral movement. Most people recommend leaving them loose in case you hit aa rock or hard object in the soil. Just wondering why you keep them like that, i am new to plowing and trying to see what right setup is best for me. Thanks
At 4:05 he has only six inches of topsoil because hes been plowing all those years ! Take that plow to the metal dealer.....get cash for metal price ! This is why so much top soils has been lost....because of plowing !

Answering the questions people have posted is extremely helpful ! the clay questions apply to a lot of people ! you rock! thanks
Every Ford and deere I've ever seen had lower link sensing , ploughing is indeed an art.
Thank you for this video, very helpful for a new guy to plowing, just bought a two bottom plow for my garden and food plots and this was very helpful
Love your videos! A lot of folks act like it’s a sin not to use no til methods. Soil conditions vary greatly even on the same farm.
An old farmer told me a long time ago listen to your soil. The trick is to understand what it's saying.
Thanks for the details. Could you please make another video for discing (full soil preparation details/steps)
Thanks for the info on the depth plowing ratio to width ratio. I'm learning!!
Great job explaining

This was a good video I know it takes up your valuable time but you should answer questions like this every once in awhile. Thanks

good info
I thought to look in your About and found out you are western NC. me, Wake County NC. now on to your next plowing video.
I’m really sorry for taking up your time but in your video is it 14” from the ti of the first plow to the inside or outside of the tire?
I was thinking about buying a three bottom plow just like yours, I only have a 52 hp tractor with 4x4. I have no clay and thankfully no rocks , do you think I could pull it?
Have you ever seen or used a 4 bottom Ford 101 plow?
I have a LS 3037H and a 1952 Ford 8N. Which would you hook up to an old Ferguson 2 bottom plow?
I also have a 6’ rototiller should I plow and use the tiller or just till about 8”?
I got my plow shins at Cox tractor in Kingsport Tn, my plow uses the same share and shin that yours does, Kingsport is probably not far from you. Maybe that will help you find some parts!!
Awesome video, if I may ask where do you get your plow shares?
I get mine locally
They are available online. You usually have to buy a box of them. There are 6 plow shares to a box
Thanks for answering the question on fuel used per hour.
You're welcome hope it made sense sometimes I ramble lol
You're welcome I will try to check fuel consumption on the next feild.
Where you been ? Haven’t seen any new videos, hope everything OK
It's called area aiding the soil. In other words, you wanna keep your soul area aided
Someone asked about American-made plows and everything attachment is made in Newton North Carolina

Plowing hillsides I want them pretty tight they have a little play but not much
Thanks for watching
never had bottom arms locked wether ploughing up or down or across a hillside just set the plough correctly and it will do the job
I'm from pumpkintown SC u sound like some guys i know from upper NC.
I have a 3 disc plough what is the difference
We have plowing to
Very generous, TY for video, so much information, work at the Florida Horse Park, enjoy agriculture!, have a beautiful mini garden, TY sir!!!!
At 4:05 he has only six inches of topsoil because hes been plowing all those years ! Take that plow to the metal dealer.....get cash for metal price ! This is why so much top soils has been lost....because of plowing !
I have a Branson 5520 and it says to use bottom hole for plow, and it has 3. i'm thinking using the middle hole from now on. what do you think?
I would start in the middle
