doing a little field work

Recommended Posts

well for the 4th we always go to family for a big breakfast. well my uncle just happens to have a field outback that hasn't been turned in a few years. so i loaded up all the round hoods and after breakfast was over, me and my younger cousins hopped on the tractors and started doing a little field work.

i must say, i am VERY impressed with these tractors. i had tried to plow with my 603 the other day which went ok but i had a hard time keeping the front end down and the plow sucking in enough. well this week i put the AG tires on the back of the 854 and then built a custom front weight mount that utilizes the attachamatic system up front and then a set of holes on the front of the frame. added 60lbs of weight and it made a world of a difference. also tweaked the plow a little and wow it worked great. it would cut right through the sod and fold it over with about a 6 inch deep furrow.

my cousin followed me with a disc behind the 704.

hope to grow some rye in there for fall deer season.

here are some pictures. i will get a close up of my plow rig once i load it off the trailer.

finally finished up the field work we started on the fourth. the ground must have been just right. the plow performed flawlessly. this time my cousin followed me with my uncles cub with a tiller on the back. field turned out real nice and i think they are planting rye for this fall for the deer.
