I had a great time! Met some more great people. One of these years if fuel is more reasonable I’ll have to tow something from Canada down. I’m the last guy to get my video done but I was also the last guy to get home I will try and get it done today!!! Stay tuned
One feller in Pennsylvania, completely restored to working order, one of these, a later model and brought it to the Steam show and had it shoveling. Video is on TH-cam! Turn of the 18th century stuff!
This Thew Automatic shovel was early in Panama until the Big shovels came, then went to work at Bear Creek in the Yukon gold fields. Then moved to its current location to work on the big water ditch to provide hydroelectric generation power! No small adventure to move this thing.
The attendance of good ol' plow boys from near and far is impressive dedication to the event. I know sophisticated people do not have this much fun nor do they understand the fun you guys had. Great aerial views.
1, I didn't notice Bob went logging with his 4 bottom plow, 2, 5th gear was just too high to pull the disc uphill, 3, the stationary John Deere H is the best 👌 🤣
That drone footage showing the moving line of demarcation between the gorgeous grass stubble and the freshly turned earth is a thing of beauty. And I can't even imagine the preparation that goes into all the equipment used and the days and days and hours and hours of hand polishing those plow faces so they turn the earth so perfectly. Lol. Good for all you guys!
🎉🎉🎉🎉how incredibly awesome this was. I’m an oldish man of 76. Only spent a few weeks at my uncles farm in the late 50s. Have always lived in the city and lusted to be like those that farmed. Watching this plowing with beautifully still useful equipment was beyond words for myself. I’m amazed how perfectly the soil was flipped over so neatly. To have friends like this is what farm life is about…. And I think it’s that way the world over. Thank you for sharing Plow Day
Favorite fall ever . . . brand new 1206 pulling 5 - 16" bottoms. Plowed almost 1,000 acres. Kept going until the plow popped out of the ground from frost. That was almost 55 years ago. Ears are still ringing.
Man Toby I'm tellin' ya I can't explain how satisfying it is to watch the earth roll up behind you! Topping it all off is the fact that it's all done with vintage well loved equipment and bunch of good friends.....it just doesn't get a whole lot better!
Looks like you all had a great time. Kinda reminds me of back in my youth, when all the neighbors showed up to help with the threshing, my Mom cooked lunch for the whole crew. Good days long ago. Thanks for Sharing. 🚜
Awesome video, great job of plowing by everybody- the drone shot were really great, you are really getting good with that! Bob could really fly with his rig, and he was plowing deep!! lol Nice video
That was absolutely awesome and entertaining. Something I've never seen. Old tractors plowing up a field. Growing up in a small Michigan farm town north of Flint Michigan I did see farms plowed but the equipment was way newer. Mostly Ford and Farmall tractors. A few odds and end ones I can't remember.
What did y'all end up planting? I bet it is a grass crop of some verity, I ain't there to really feel the ground but it looks like there is a hard pan setting up under parts of that field. Next time run a shank ripper through it first. Rip then cross rip , moldboard , float drag the highs, then pulverize with a sand dolomite mix added. Broadcast seed clover at night on the next new moon. ( Helps keep the wildlife from eating all the seeds) Drag a spring cultivator over to get the clover in deep. Come spring time moldboard then anhydrous ammonia then your sweet corn and sunflower . Knee high by the fourth of July! Yee Haw cash crop.
Thanks to UTUBE for letting all these folks meet over the years to make this event happen ,,, looks like was fun time had by all and memories made for a life time for folks there and those of us watching on utube. Regards J
Whoever witnessed the first time that satisfying grass tilling confirming the design works must have been pretty damn happy, that never gets old to see how clean those cuts are
I am surprised those D2 did not get more use on farms. Compare to mostly gas tractors they are much more fuel efficient and understand they were less than $2,000.
Awesome picture. Real men having a good time exercising old iron enjoying themselves and each other's company . Good food it could not get much better I hope you all gave the LORD thanks and prays for all things and a safe and wonderful day GOD BLESS
Brilliant video 💪 love all the restoration videos an engineering video's you do but my thing is working with vintage tractors and that video made my day 💪👍 on Sunday this week we are having a vintage ploughing competition so looking forward to that 👍👍
*- Nice rocks in the pile **20:07**.* *- Excellent big round corner stones to set hand-hewn barn-sills back in the day.* *- And the smaller ones to fill in between so the pigs and sheep can not get out of their holding pens.*
@@squatch253 that stinks, it would have been cool to see. That's one thing about my H. Everything on it makes my eyelid twitch because it's a 12V conversion with an alternator and a distributor with electronic ignition. So it's far from factory, but I must say I have to admit that when my grandpa did it he didn't do too bad, because it's been extremely reliable for me
@@squatch253 When he pulled in with it on the trailer and it had rained, my first thought was this isn't gonna be good, those mags don't like damp weather let alone rain (don't ask how I know) 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great group of friends, I have friends like this, old buddy’s from Army past that drop everything to come help out with each other project. We all are blessed tho have them in our life’s.
They're not wrong it was an awesome picture with everyone round the Cat 20 feature and great plow day too that was fantastic. Totally loved it we dont have many of those days here in New York now days we did alot when I was a preteen until I reached my 20s
21:10 I LIKE the Sepiatone/black and white Conclusion.! Now where next year.? Hey SQUATCH253,... I count 2- 4 bottom, 2-3 bottom, 2- 2 bottom, and ironmans 1 bottom.? ROLL CAL.?
@@squatch253 I am used to a 3 16 inch John Deere plow and 10 acres takes a while and you guys flew right thru the crawlers can move right along with a plow I can see why they were popular in big prairie fields years ago. It would be nice to see 5j1113 turning some dirt too but I am sure it is in the works
Looks like the day went well. Just wet enough to knock down the dust but let everything roll well. Sounds like you got to work the equipment to their limits. Other than a stall it two I didn't hear of breaking things so a very good day.
Great! Reminds me of Old Tyme Plow Day here in southeast Pennsylvania. I never miss it with my 1940 Ford 9N and 16” one bottom. I’ve acquired a 14” Ford/Ferguson two bottom which I should have ready for 2023. It’s in April and we usually have somebody grilling burgers and hot dogs. Attendance is around 20 tractors. In past years a D2 showed up but I haven’t seen it in a couple of years. Plowing old corn stubble is a pain. I always take a small army surplus shovel along to clear coulter jams.
Great video, it demonstrates the old iron still capable to do the work. Simple, no electronics no hidralics no DPF...... No problems Cheers to all from Portugual.
Its nice to be loved and respected. Of course that means you're going to need a bigger farm. I'm sure one of the members out there has an algorithm that will tell you how many acres to acquire per number of plow bottoms in the group!
Man, it sure looked like it was a good time. I've gotta get some time to get the H into the dirt... Flags flying high. What an awesome ending. Looking good fellas.
@@squatch253 Well, I have a Snap-Coupler plow for our Allis WD45 (that I've never plowed with lol), but I'd have to come up with the parts to put on the tractor that would basically disengage the hand clutch if you hit a rock. We don't have rocks down here, but if I plow up there that'd be a necessity. I also need to find a way to convert it to throw away wear parts. It's a 3-12" (I know, odd combo), and it has the old style two-piece moldboards that you had to take to a blacksmith to have them re-sharpened. And they're pretty worn. Only issue is the only repop parts I've seen to let you convert them are for the 14 and 16 inch moldboards, and I don't think the frame is adjustable. If I can do all that, and convince my grandpa to let me haul it up there (which would be a chore in itself LOL), I'd definitely love to come.
I think I said to Chris Kyle big boys playing in big sandpits. It's your Sandpit Toby and you ask the boys over to play with you. lol, However a good way to do it. I guess you spend a day at their property plowing also? When they harvest wheat, oats, etc over here in the Wheatbelt, they all bring their harvesters over to each property and get it done quick also as to beat the weather So they go play in the grass over here.
What a great day. Had a sneak peek from Kyles and Ricks channel of what was going on. Lot of old iron and lot of old plows. Can't wait for next year to see what you all will come up with.
Really, until I saw CATs on this channel, I only thought they pushed. Never dawned on they were used to pull farm implements. Thanks for the great show!
You bet caterpillar was an agricultural company long before they got into earthmoving. It really wasn’t until after the Second World War that cat started producing their own earthmoving implements
Looks like you had some well set plows, also some great drone footage, and some Mike Less type music good job hope everyone had a good time , looks good. Dave D.
Been waiting for your video on this. Caught the shorts from everyone else. The new D2 seemed to pull its weight pretty well. Look forward to the content on that one as well as the rest of 1113.
When I bought my '41 A, it had a bad governor. The previous owner had baling wire run from the throttle handle to the governor arm. It was run like that for at least 25 years. When I rebuilt the engine, the bearings were no worse for the wear. I was surprised how abuse tolerant they are.
@ 7:35, I've never heard such a term as "the field crown", other than on a football field. anywhere around here in the midwest, it's called the "back furrow". A raised ridge left at the center of the strip of land when plowing is started from center to side is called back furrow.

That was awsome watching them old machines turn the sod over
It’s a good thing I was standing there drinking a beer while others cleaned the tree out of bob’s plow. Somebody had to!
Looks like a great day!!👍🏼 Nice to see all the tractors getting worked!! Thanks for bringing us along!!

Great video Squatch! It sure is nice to see all the old Iron putting in a day's work. And the picture at the end should be on a calendar! Cheers
Calendar, a capital idea. Hint hint Toby.

I would buy a ticket to go watch this in person…I’d pay double to get to talk to the old timers!

Lucky everyone
I wonder how many relic hunters were hiding in the woods twirling their mustaches? 😂

I just love a good plow day, nothing is more satisfying as watching that dirt turn over!
Your dad looks great on the super M . It sounds like the super M don't even feel the load of the plows.
I would love to experience plow day at Squatch's just once before I my old body takes me on the next journey.
Man Toby I'm tellin' ya I can't explain how satisfying it is to watch the earth roll up behind you! Topping it all off is the fact that it's all done with vintage well loved equipment and bunch of good friends.....it just doesn't get a whole lot better!
Thanks for sharing the day. Brother inlaws here in illinois have a plow day after wheat each year. Always a fun day
The lost art of plowing! Thanks for taking us along!

Back in the 50's & 60's my Grandpa did custom combining TEXAS all the way up into Canada! my dad and all the uncles went.

What a great turnout looking forward to next year.
Nice overview with the drone 👍
That sepia tone on the last shot was a really masterful touch...very nice
What a great video, I can't begin to imagine how much fun it is to get together with good friends and old iron and do something like this.
I am surprised those D2 did not get more use on farms. Compare to mostly gas tractors they are much more fuel efficient and understand they were less than $2,000.

Hs will pull 2-12s in the right conditions. Most of the time it's better to run them with a 1-16 tho

Great video, it demonstrates the old iron still capable to do the work.
Simple, no electronics no hidralics no DPF...... No problems
Cheers to all from Portugual.
Looks like a good collection of dedicated people with there machines.
What a great gathering of old iron.

great to see you keep doing these, hope someday I will get to do one with my D4
Awesome! Wish we could organize one in Texas.
Certainly a venue I would have loved to attend!
‘‘Tis great day to be here to see your awesome videos thanks guys again thanks

Good job Toby!
This is how it starts, in a few years it turn into a tractor show and Swapmeet taking place there …..lol😂
And every once in a while they will plow a small part of one field.
