George: One of the biggest problems I've seen with mounted plows is folks trying to plow with them, using too wide wheel tread setting. Of course the other big one folks trying to plow with worn out plow wear parts. Far too many folks think of the plow as just a digger, and that exactly what they do with them, DIG BIG HOLES.

I had a guy e mail me one night, right turning 3 bottom, 3 point hitch plow. After several e mails, I finally got it out of him, he was trying to plow with his left wheel in the furrow.

Another time I rented a parcel of land from a retired career military guy. He had a Super C he used for plowing snow and had bought a 2x12 trailer plow as he had planned on some gardening. His wife asked me if I'd plow their garden patch as her husband had owned the trailer plow 5 years, and they were yet to harvest a garden. I went around to the garden patch with my 130 and 2x12 fast hitch plow. Not hard to see why they never harvested a garden. There were furrows every which way in the tall grass, and holes in there the depth of the 5.00x15 front tire. For a spell, I thought I'd have to go for the big tractor just to get over some of these holes. I got it looking half decent. Stopped at the front where she and hubby were enjoying a beer, mainly to tell her I'd run my big disk through it next day to get it level enough for her walk behind tiller. This was my chance to get a dig in about hubby's plowing. I turned to her and said, " You remember the section in the bible where it describes pounding plow shares into swords and vice versa depending on the need. I've decided that once we turn the swords into plow shares, we should not give them back to a military man." She was a big woman, and shook the whole wooden deck laughing, he was not overly amused. I don't intend on this insulting most military men, this guy had no farm background before his military days. I was just a quote that fitted the time and place.
