In Reply to: Why plow at all? posted by KYfarm on October 05, 2010 at 04:42:39:
I feel kinda like my post started this.. So I kinda feel like I need to add my 2 cents...
Why plow? Why not? That's what I think.. Everyone has their take on things..
My take is, plowing has really died off (at least here) since my childhood. I think the last time anyone really plowed around here was 85/86.. and I was 4 or 5 then.. Seems like I remember grandad pulling a 6 bottom with his 8070 Allis, just to get it shined up to sell it (I could have the details screwed up, but he did sell the plow, this I do know LOL)
I enjoy a little plowing.. I'd like to learn to do it correctly, and maybe show a younger generation some day (Hoping that there will be a younger generation interested...)
I know this may sound silly, but I'd like to rent a small farm around here (ten acres or so..) Just so I can plow, plant in wide rows, cultivate with my Massey and mounted cultivators, and pick corn with my self propelled picker. Why have the big boy sandbox toys if ya aren't gonna play with em??? (of course I'll have to rotate crops.. just a reason to play with more old equipment of course!!)
