Recent D-series Stuffs!

Recommended Posts

So at the big show, I picked up a 3 point hitch for my D-160, I took about two hours getting all the parts together and putting it on the tractor.  The lift cylinder leaks a little bit, but hopefully with a little use, the gaskets will swell back up and hold the oil back better, but regardless, it works great and can not wait to put it to use!

Secondly, A few weeks ago, I had to dig up the garden area of the new place that I am living at and decided to do something new with the D-250!  I put on my plow and went to town with it.  The adjustments are frozen, and the rear lift is set up to float, so the plow didn't stay in the ground as well as it should have, but still, the thing pulls like an absolute tank!  I really have to fix the plow, hopefully by next year I'll have it all fixed.  After plowing, I tilled the whole garden to make sure it was all broken up well.  The garden is doing well, though, which is great!  I know it's long, and you probably won't watch the whole thing, but with the lack of D250 videos around, I try to take as many as I can.  The last few minutes of the video is me using the bucket, too! :handgestures-thumbupright::handgestures-thumbupright:

 

Enjoy the video, everyone! :)

I didn't watch all of it, but you need to start plowing to the right and then plow each new furrow to the left with your right rear tire in the just plowed furrow.  That's the proper way to plow.
