Farmers in Iowa

Would there be a farmer here that lives in Iowa (cedar falls/waterloo area) that would let me try plowing up a little bit of land in spring with my jd b to try it out and see how she runs with an actual load on it. If you'd like email me at [email protected]. Thanks!

If you truly want to see how your tractor responds under load put it on a Dynamometer. That will tell you a lot more than just plowing. Now if your just wanting to go plow some land that is a different issue all together. LOL

Well....a dynamometer isn't as fun as plowing. Or at least I don't think so. I've also been thinking about getting a pto run out clutch or whatever they're called and hook it to my uncle's 24t baler and see what it does.

Square balers have built in over running clutches in them.

I don't know what kind of tractor you are using and what kind of
plow but here in the Northeast there are plow days in the spring
and fall. I would contact your local antique tractor club and
ask them. Great fun. At one of the clubs I belong to they even
have fields for garden tractors to plow. Fun to watch those
little guys go at it. Some clubs limit the plow to a three or
four bottoms.
I look forward to spring plowing more at plow days then plowing
my own property cause there ain't no rocks. About five or six
hours is about all I can take any more before my back starts
acting up
