I am having some problems with plowing here and hope someone can help. I have never farmed before and am starting with a 1951 Farmall M and a pull type plow. The idea is to plow the land, then disc, then plant. I am plowing the parameter first, then so inside and start to plow in rows inside the parameter. So far, 60 percent of the parameter has been plowed. The plow is a 3-bottom plow (according the the tractor manual, the M should be able to handle this). I am using a 2 way hydraulic system connected to the belly tank. The location is Crown Point, Indiana and the soil condition is moist (perfect for tree pulling, BTW). Here are my problems...
1. The tractor tires keep loosing traction. This even occurs in low rpm at first speed when attempting to plow,
2. The hydraulic connection keep leaking when I try to raise it more eventhough the connection is tight. Is it suppose to do this when pressure is high (too high)?
I figure the land is too wet, is this a good assumption? Or could my tractor be too light, the the manual says it is designed for up to a 3 bottom plow. I have no means to see what is going on with the hydraulic link keep bursting hydraulic fluid (link at the hydraulic cylinder that is not quick connect). The tractor itself seemed to run fine without plowing and can raise and lower my sickle mower fine and even the plow, until the line starts leaking. Any help is appreciated...
