    She’s 65 years young. That’s what’s keeping her young and strong. Good for her.👍🏻

    Kudos to your mother for doing a difficult task on such steep hills. 63 years old and ploughing. GREAT JOB!!

    My mother is 88 years young and she still ploughs all her own fields. But she thinks this might be her last year on the farm. She told me that milking cow's for 76 years was enough . I don't think she will give it up that easy .
    To all those ladies getting out there still doing it I take my hat off to you.

    Brilliant video, can't beat county/ MH power. I ploughed hill fields with a ford 7710, that were so steep that you couldn't have your feet on the floor due to the toolbox sliding across the cab floor

    1961 dad had 5 of the brands come to our farm and started them side by side up a slope like that..3 bottom plows..The Ford 800 Select O Speed got to the top first and he bought 2 of them...

    • @7891ph

      Hopefully you had a lot better luck than my neighbors who bought them did. The Troy built one's sold in North America has some serious build issues that, when they failed were whorendusly expensive to fix.
      Because of that, Ford didn't have any market presence in my neighborhood until after the merger with New Holland.....

    Kudo's to your Mom, BUT, when you said very steep hills, I expected to see the Palouse country. Running crawlers on those side hills, will make the hair on your neck stand up! Just watching a hillside combine slide on the slippery stubble, takes your breath away. On some of those hills, we call it, "talking to the angels!" These tractors, would roll over where my family farms.

  • @attilathehunk5771
    @attilathehunk5771 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Beautiful country, looks like the combine was throwing over. We have hills steeper than that but I seeded them to grass. Zero till would be a good option. But I don't know the details. Good video.

    How are you dealing with erosion from plowing straight up and down like that??? We've got a couple of fields like that on our farm, and woe be tied the person who didn't plow cross way's because of it. We've got one hugh washout from back around the turn of the last century that one of my great uncles caused because he had had an argument with my great great grandfather about something.... And yes, that's when the family was still pure Irish; it was my grandparents generation back in the 20's & 30's who started marrying outside the neighborhood when the took jobs off the farm... My brother and I were the only kids in our generation to grow up on and help work the place....

      It must be in the UK. I don't think the UK gets much heavy rain. They get plenty of rainfall but in small steady falls.
      In Australia all fields like that would have Soil Erosion Contours to prevent Erosion.
      Also very few Farmers here now use ploughs.
      In some Small Crop areas possibly where soils get very badly compacted during harvest.
      Most Farmers of Grain type crops here now use Zero Till or Minimum Till methods.
      Often the only mechanical cultivation that happens is when the Crop is planted unless they have a wet harvest that leaves ruts in the ground.
