One might as well turn some dirt. Well I just want to make sure I'm better prepared for early planting, potatoes and onions this year. First time with a plow on this tractor, 2 bottom 101 Ford, with new shares, shins and landsides. Greased the coulters, tailwheel and manual trip standards, then found an appropriate block of wood, adjusted it level. I'm sure I can fine tune the adjustments a bit more, but this was the first time I did get both moldboards of this plow working evenly together, but depending on how much I steered into the furrow wall, I did see the rear mold board not take as much. Its set to take the maximum cut, and the sway bars are set max right, so I may have to fool with center of draft. This is some loam/clay topsoil, its deep too, part of the remainder of this old field that is adjacent to the house. It tripped a few times on rocks, so that works well, I did get stuck once, on the steepest part of the patch, made some adjustments to make it pull easier, over all it worked well, and it does work nice behind this tractor. I thought I would have an issue with the rear wheels and where they are set, but it aligned close to where it should be, not bad for a first time outing with it on this new to me tractor. We've had a good amount of rain, soil was a little sticky, but not bad. I thought it would be noteworthy to remember mold board plowing on Christmas, given this weather, which is unreal.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
