I am in college, and went home for Easter break. While I was at home I figured I would help my dad out and get some plowing done. So I took the 1066 and hooked it to the 4X16 plows. Yes I know the tractor can pull a plow a lot bigger, but if I can't go fast then I don't want to do it. It was great plowing condition, it was just wet enough that the plows went in the ground but yet dry enough that I didn't spin out. I could plow on the level in H2 but it really worked the old tractor had to bring it back to H1 on the hills and in rough spots. I would drop them plows and take off it would pick the front end up about 6 or 8 inches, perfect for plowing then it put all the weight on the back tires for traction. Well I plowed a couple of fields for him then came home and parked the tractor and plow he came out and looked at the plows and wanted to know what I did to his plows. The last bottom was half gone and what was left looked like a spider web of cracks. The only thing we can figure is at the speed that I was going at I came in contact with a rock, and since the plows haven't been used in a while, the trip part rusted and didn't let the plow trip.
I talked to him last night and he told me he got a new bottom and also 700 pound of weight for the front end, he also advised me to slow down next time.
Well just thought I would pass my fun weekend on to you all. Next we will see how fast we can pull the 12 foot disk with the 2 7 foot culipackers behind it.

For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
