delhotalfarms.com-Fall 2008-plowing part II

Plowing with an 8970 and a 3710 plow.

It was not turning under all of the residue because this was right behind the combine. In fact, if you broke one of the stocks water would actually run out.

There is also so nice footage of the N-14 Cummins barking under a full load.

Thanks!

What do you do when the 3710 does not turn over all he residue?

[DFarms001]

Now that we have a chopping cornhead that is not really an issue anymore. If you take a look at my videos from this fall it leave no residue now.

@DFarms001 Yea me too. We would love to have the soil types to do the type of farming yall do in Illinois. We can grow 200 bu corn but you go broke on the irrigation costs. Our ground is sand loam with about four inches of "topsoil". I hope to see the farms out in the midwest in person someday. I've been to Mt. Vernon on my way to Kansas City Ks. when i was traveling to the FFA convention but it was at night.

@terrellfarms1 THanks for explaining that! I always like hearing how farming is done in other parts of the country.

@DFarms001 We use turnover, or flip plows exclusively in Georgia. Most farming in my are of the us is conventional till. We farm mainly cotton, penuts and a little corn and beans. The only time anyone here plows is with peanuts. We used rollover plows mainly until the early nineties. Now we use switch plows which just pivot horizontally. they are alot easier on the 3pt lift system of the tractor. You never see coulters on our plows unless they are ancient 3pt plows.

Great vids!!!

Yes, I plow around the clock if there is ground to plow.

I look forward to going to strip-till someday in the near future so I can work half the hours and use less fuel.

could you plow all night?

[DFarms001]

We are not concerned with making a plowpan. I wonder how much truth is in that because we have been plowing for a long time and have never formed one. We only plow ground that does not erode. The ground which suffers from erosion is no-tilled.
