- Alan plows a field we are renting that hasn't been worked in years. He gets the plow greased and ready to go. Alan gets some footage of how the plow works. Jennifer shows the view from the cow pasture.
I always enjoyed plowing growing up on our farm in west central Iowa. It would be nice to get on a tractor right now and plow until the sun goes down!
Jen's familiar with that area, she grew up in Southeast Minnesota. Thanks for watching!

I like seeing the ladies enjoying the nice weather. 52 degrees in Minnesota in April is pretty warm.
It was, but now we're in the middle of May and our high was 37 haha!
Coulters were a must on our plows helps with heavy residue
That's some long plowing rows. I saw a glimpse of the case 660 combine.
Yeah, we are planning on doing a machinery tour and I'll touch on that combine a little, the rows are pretty long but the camera makes them look longer than they are. Thanks for watching!
1066 is a great tractor....we have one on our farm....our has a hiniker cab tho
Greatest tractor IH ever made. Perfect!
Most iconic anyways. Still needs to be a black stripe open station. those IH plows weren't nothing but the truth though.
I am not sure about the greatest but they are very good. We have the exact same tractor and plow combination. Sometimes we use the 1206 on the plow and it also pulls it very good.
I have used our 1256 on that plow, but the 1066 seems to handle it better. A 1206 is a tractor I would like to have! Thanks for watching!
Hey Allen,,how ya doing over there? Had any of the hail issues we've had ove over here just to your southeast?
We're doing good, no we've been getting missed by the hail, but feel bad for you guys, that's been some terrible damage! We're starting to get some rain now, so that's been nice. The county fair is this week, so we've been busy getting ready for that.
@@trinitydairy Good deal. Have fun at the fair. Tell the kids good luck.
Never seen a 1066 without 3 point,we had 2 1066s and a 1566.
This one came from North Dakota, I think it's more common in the western states.
We have 2 of them. Here in Alberta, that's very common. There are far more here that don't have 3 point hitches than do.
🤔 We used a lot of semi mounted plows and other tillage equipment. I guess that's my I never seen one.
That's what we used also, the tractor and plow, came from North Dakota, l think they are everywhere out there.
Do you have the lagoon pump scheduled already?
I'm on their list, so whenever they get to me.
👍
A few days cures a bad hair cut. Not going to win Grand Champion with that clipper job...😁
Haha! It's tricky around ears!
👍👌🇨🇦❤, the smell of freshly turned soil, nothin'like it
Love the 1066 we had one we had a case ih 720 5-18" and it handeled it just fine! Love to see those old tractors still working! Brings back a lot of memories on the farm! Thanks for the great video! Take care
Good to see clean your hydraulic connections. I see so many people that don’t and then wonder why they have pump and valve problems.
Do you guys always have to walk out to get them ? We had them trained to come by yelling out "Zuke,Zuke,Zuke" and they'd all made a line to the barn to be milked. Love seeing dairy farms wish we still had ours. Thanks for everything you do
In the summer, yes. Once it starts getting cold, then they're standing at the gate waiting.
Enjoy watching that 1066 turn over the soil. I enjoy plowing growing up we would plow up 500 acres for corn and soybeans and 7 acres for tobacco and the largest plow we had was a 4.16's Massey Ferguson plow behind a 285 Massey Ferguson next we had a 3.16's MF plow behind a 275 MF. We would take turns plowing sometimes all day and all night only stop to fuel up and eat a sandwich. I miss those big fields plowing. I did get to plow up a 9 acre field for my brother a couple of years ago that he wanted to resow. All I plow now are garden spots. I have a 3.16's Massey Ferguson plow I pull behind a 5320 John Deere cab tractor 64hp. and I have a 2.14's Ford plow I pull behind a 539 IMT 39hp. Your 1066 pulling your plow good must be set up right.
Plowing on a nice big field is one of my favorite jobs, and plowing, was one of my first tractor driving jobs, I used our 830 case with a IH 4-16s semi mount plow and my grandpa would use the IH 1256, and 5-16s semi mount plow, that's one memory I'll always have is plowing with my grandpa. Thanks for watching, and God bless!
That was plowing up nice,they shined up fast.i have a set of ih 700 4x16,had them for almost 30 years. Mine has the side hill hitch and are semi mount.usually takes 2 full grease guns to do them all. With coulter there is 7 per bottom?
Yeah even the heavy soil here is pretty abrasive, so they shine up fast. this one also has 7 per bottom, one thing I have learned is that grease is cheap compared to parts. Thanks for watching!
I used a 1466 to hall shit with for 5 years milk cow feed cow cut land hall hay Bush hog
Those are nice tractors, I have ran them for neighbors , they really have power!
@@trinitydairy yes it had power
Lol
Have you ever seen the international 1468, I have a L&M Fleet supply hat like yours, I rent my farmland out, I have known them all my life
@@mattutke9985 I have seen pictures and videos of the 1468 but never seen one close up. Thanks for watching!
Yup guys, I remember when I was farming heavy(late 80's---early 90's) I could pull my Glencoe Soil Saver 12 twisted shank( anybody who pulled one KNOWS they pull HARD) with my built up 1066 in high side 1st but had to hit TA too much and watch EGT's go up so went back to low 4th. GOOD OLE' DAYS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Loved vid.
Do you prefer pull type vs semi mount?
I always felt that pull type did the best for following the contour of the field.
Great video that this retired dairy farmer can relate to.
I like the pull type better, I agree that it follows the ground better, it's also nice if you get stuck, you can lock it in the transport position, pull the pin and hoses, get the tractor out then pull the plow out from high ground, get stuck with a semi mount, you might be there half the day. Thanks for watching!
Hi. have to ask. what model year is it on the Ford Tarus that was in the background in the beginning? I myself had a 1992 with the same color and I live in Sweden. when I bought mine there were only 8 in Sweden
I think it was a 2002. I ended up selling it.
Video seem to end quickly today, but still great. Nice seeing the old farm equipment at work. 🙏🙏Trinity Dairy is not impacted be this mess. God Bless Trinity Dairy !!
Alan , What you thinking about planting in that field ? Thanks for videos .
I'm going to plant oats and under seed it with hay mix.thanks for watching!
😊. I like the 770 plow !!!
The auto resets are nice ,but if you have never used one ,it will wake you up when it does its thing.
Oh yeah! I almost jumped out the window, the first time it tripped.
Great video. You need get your lead cow to move first . Other cows will follow her to barn. That good is staying calm went your are herding cows to barn.
I don't know if we have a lead cow. We used too, but if we do now it's not as obvious.
Every dairy Farmer we know says their cows come when called, or come on their own at chore time. I guess our cows are typical millennials, you can't get them to listen haha!
Thanks for ALL THE BEAUTIFUL VIEWS 😊
When soil moisture and plow matches up in the sweet spot
Just what i asked for, old farm equipment, thank you 👍
Enjoyed watching the plow do its thing and does a nice job. So funny the wife tries to get the cows in for milking but they have other ideas LOL. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
Wow, I've never seen a 1066 without 3-point before. Like you said, can't pull a semi-mount with that one. Is that big wraparound 1930s-40s looking thing the swinging drawbar rides on (I don't know what to call it) aftermarket, or is it from IH?
As far as I know, it's factory from IH.
Great video thanks for sharing 👍
We have two of the same plows they are awesome old plows do a lot of work
Yes, I really enjoy plowing with that plow.
How did you edit the WT Farmgirl theme music on your videos?
I haven't heard of that channel. I get all my music from you tube studio's audio library. They have a ton of free music to choose from.
@@trinitydairy interesting
Long time( actually never) seen newer tractor w/out 2 0r 3 point hitch!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This one came from North Dakota, I think they are more common out there.
Really like your plow. Never seen trailer plow that big. Mine are ih 720 s both semi mount they do plow nice
This one came from North Dakota, Hard to beat an IH plow. Thanks for watching!
two tires- one is when lifting plow to move.. other one more to side can be adjusted to regulate the depth you wanna plow at!
Yep
I guit the mould board plow in mid 80's. Rolling ground liked my minimum till.( So did ASCS office. Ha Ha !!!!!!
I wish our soils would have been where we could have used R-1 tires on our tractors we used mostly R--2 rice&cane tires we did eventually put R--1s on a 4020 that we used for planting..They ride so much better
Central US wheat,oat, rye, country its called a Wheatland tractor
3 pt.hitches were on rowcrop tractors corn, cotton, mostly crops that required mechanical cultivation.
Great video ...like the music.....I have a 1066 also. Great tractor...my g-pa traded in a 806 gas for it
👍👌🇨🇦❤️
I've used onland and in furrow plows always preferred onland plows was in the market for a reversible plow or switch plow...
That 1066 was a wheatland model most manufacturers did not put 3pt. Hitches on them only on row crop models
I started out with a 1 furrow 2 furrow 3 furrow trail ploughs 30 massey harris tractor thought i had it made
Plowing, my favorite part of farming, too bad it has "lost favor" in todays circle of minimum till.
I agree, there is something special about that job, and not that I am a pro but it's getting to be a lost art.
Trinity Dairy I could never plow straight enough for my Grandfather because I loved watching the sod roll over.
@@kswaynes7569 yeah I have the same problem.
So happy you explained things. I didn't know that anyone plowed anymore! How cows do you have? And how much land you Farm?
We milk 33 cows, but in all we have around 60 animals total with all the young stock. We farm about 200 acres total, 60 of our own and the rest is rented. Thanks for watching!
My grandpa has 400 acres
We run case and ford tractors, we have 3 ford tractors and 1 case 125 Maximum
@@LukeLees35 haven't had much experience with the Ford tractors, but they seem like good machines.
Aww the 1066 just like ours we have 4 16s plow for ours they are a strong tractor.
👍
Love watching you pull the 770
A little diesel oil on the mobile boards will keep them shiny
Momma did a good job on the hair cut Alan. Nice video.
The 1066 massive beast. The plow does a good job seems like the “massive beast” has plenty of power. Unusual to have a pull type that big. I cut my own hair been wearing a hat ever since. LOL
Need to get "massive beast" on a t-shirt I swear! Yeah this plow came out of North Dakota.
We used to put used motor oil on them helps keep them slick
I'm thinking a set of offsets with 26 inch discs would have done a better and much quicker job
I've tried that,but in that old sod it doesn't work well.
Awesome video keep up the great videos
It's so weird seeing a wheatland type 1066 with swinging drawbar and no 3 point. But it's an awesome old 10, love seeing it.
Yeah it's kind of neat . Thanks for watching!
That song is what south sask farmer uses in his videos, the first song 😆. Looks like she does a good job plowing 👍
It's a catchy song! Yeah the plow does a great job.
Great video keep up the hard work 👌🐄
I just purchased an IH 770 plow. It is non auto reset. It is the only one that I have ever seen like it. I've always wanted one so hoping it works well.
I've never seen one either, wonder if it's an early 770, I bet it will plow nice.
Nice tractor and plow, that 10 handles that 6 bottom plow pretty good. Not to often do you see a bear back 1066. I'm a new sub here. I'm a small hay farmer from Maryland. I do most of my farming with a Farmall 400 and a 1086. I am looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
This tractor came out of North Dakota, so not sure if it's more common out there. Thanks for subscribing!
Yeah I've never seen one with a wheatland hitch neither, until now.👍
We have the same outfit exactly. Here in Alberta, Canada, bare back 1066s are very common. We sometimes pull the plow with the 1206, too.
Great video thanks!!!!
Good work
Nice channel bud. I subscribed
Thank you!
The 1066 sounds good and strong, nice plow too. Can you explain the silo out in the pasture? Was it intentionally built there or did there used to be a barn next to it?
It was intentionally built there, it has a concrete bunk up there with it.
Kinda cool. If that area is permanent pasture it allows you to feed out there so they don’t have to go back to the barnyard and you don’t hafta haul feed to them
@@andylieffring3987 yeah it works pretty good, I would like to put concrete for the cows to stand on because it does get muddy if we get a lot of rain.
If you want to hitch up to a moldboard plow in my area you better bring a chainsaw.... chances are that about a 6 in sweet Gum is growing up thru it......
LoL, Yeah, it's pretty common in this area yet, but not as much as it was years ago. Thanks for watching!
Is that your international know you have the 12
Yeah that's our 1066
Why duals only on the left side of the tractor?
OK, I see the answer further down. I should have realised someone would have already asked.
We should have the other dual back on soon. Just found a replacement tire to replace the bad one. Thank you for watching!
What's your favorite tractor that u have and what's ur dream tractor. Yes I know how to punctuate but I don't feel like adding it. Lol
Lol, I would say my favorite tractor that we have is the 1256 IH and a close 2nd is the 830 Case with the green cab, my dream tractor would be any model of the 2+2 IH tractors, I have always thought they were cool tractors.
I can relate. Lol
@@trinitydairy Do you ever pull your plow with the 1256? We have the same plow and sometimes pull it with a 1206.
@@tyfrank3427 yes I have, but the 1066 seems to handle it better, we do have a IH 550 semi mount, 5 bottom plow that I sometimes put on the 1256. I would love to have a 1206 someday, they seem like a good tractor.
@@trinitydairy Ours is the standard tread version with 24.5-32 tires. We need to replace them now but with new tires it will handle the plow good. The 1066 is a little more tractor. Yours must be the 1973 model because it has the newer style cab, and it's painted white. Earlier 1066s run slower and put out about what the 1256 does.
Why does the tractor have two tires on one side
The dual on the other side needs to be replaced.
@Leonard Carr we did that with our semi mount plow when we had to run in the furrow, I can run both duals on the green with this plow, but I had to take one off because the tube was sticking out, found a good tire now, so should have it back on soon.thanks for watching!
Since this is first day I found this video, what part of MN are you?
I am retired, but did rotational grazing on my dairy farm in Stearns County MN.
( I farmed in Stearns County MN but now live retired in Arkansas)
Enjoy videos like yours I can relate to.
We are in Sturgeon Lake in Pine County, about 50 miles South of Duluth.
Good video and the haircut doesn't look to bad. However, I don't remember seeing the left side of his head.
It's tricky around those darn ears! But I promise he still has both of them😉
Is that a massey combine awsome video I really like your set up
The combine is a case 660, thanks for watching!
The tow bar looks different compared to my 1066. Is it preferred if running on dual wheels. Mine is a just the tow bar sticking out with a 3 point hitch. I don't have dual wheels, just wondering...
This tractor came from North Dakota and this style tow bar is more common out there, most of the ones I've seen have 3 point hitch like yours.I like the duals for more traction and flotation on wet ground, and less compaction.Thanks for watching!
That 1066 is a Wheatland model and is meant for up north in the Dakotas and Canada where they don’t use 3pt tools as much so the need for the 3pt isn’t necessary
What an antiquated set up! What's a bottom do you mean a 6 furrow plough when you say bottom? Strange?
Antiquated set up? Not sure if I should take that as a compliment or not. What you call antiquated, I call paid for in full, no debt, and no computers installed. Yes, it's a regional thing that we call them bottoms. It's just as strange to see you write plough instead of plow.
@@trinitydairy OK keep your wig on never heard of furrows being referred to as bottoms! Guessing plow is American version of plough.
@@bigteddy66 hey no worries. What part of the world are you watching from? It's definitely interesting to see how farming is done from across the globe.

Oh okay, thanks for watching.
