So, being bored, I decided to go out and plant some snow peas, but I can't seem to get much penetration. Any pointers? I had trouble raising chickens this past spring. Can't figger what went wrong, maybe I was planting them too deep or too close together... C'mon spring.....!!!! [Reply]   [No Email]

The 4430 isn't working hard enough. You should have a 12 bottom behind it, that's what I plow snow with. I get much better yields in the fields I plow the next year, and I cut back my nitrogen by 50lbs and acre if I get a good plowing in. It doesn't take too long either. My 12 bottom doesn't even wear off the black paint on the moldboards since I keep it out of the black crap. We have a storm coming on Sunday, but I will have to skip Church to make snow while its drifting. I figure that's 10 bushels in the bin if I get it plowed when its moving. [Reply]  [No Email]
