C-120 working to fill rills in driveway

[groundhog47 447]

Getting ready for first time plow use to turn up some grass to place in rills from recent rains that are cutting up newly laid drive to shop. Didn't get it all setup correctly but got enough to save culvert. All the plowed area was covered by new shop so no loss. Since I reviewed plowing directions in manuals I see my mistakes and not enough wheel weight either.

That is where the Ag tires and Low Range excell....

Don't beat yourself up too bad, that Texas "red dirt" can be some "challenging" soil to deal with.

@groundhog47 That’s a nice setup you have there 👍🏻

@c-series donThanks, have been abusing it since 1980 and had no idea what a wheel horse was then.

@Blasterdad Guess I should have clarified that was where I lived in Haughton, Louisiana, Recently moved to Texas. Reminds me of red clay mixed with coarse sand.

Nice! Pretty cool comparison of one 12hp Wheel Horse to another. C-120 8 speed was my first WH. I have a spare set of rims waiting for ags to be mounted.
