Last summer I bought a 128 to use for plowing. Had never plowed with a gear drive. so this past Saturday I had the chance. As the tractor was set up for the snow plow this winter (never used it because of no snow) it still had the wheel weights (92#s per side) and chains still on it. Hung the brinley plow on and went to the garden. I was really surprised on how well it did. I plowed about 6-7" deep in 2nd gear and never ran out of traction or power. Got the garden done so I went to the edge of the field next to my yard. There a large hump has formed so I started out about 5' in the field and rolled it out into the field. All together it took about 2 hours. About half way thru I realized I was breaking 2 of AW's cardinal rules so I took my wallet and cell phone and went and put them into the truck.
One thing I did miss from the Hydro was the hydraulic lift.
I really eyed the big field of bean stubble north of the yard but didn't know how the farmer would take to me plowing up a chunk as he might no-till corn in it. I already had talked to him about rolling the hump out.
Makes me want another plow day.

David - Sounds like one of those real rewarding days where everything just works out. You need a photographer with you next time! Even a tractor shot, and the before and after; then we can make up the movie in our heads!

Hey! Someone listens to me?

AW, did you say something?
Pics or that ground is yet to be turned.

Gear drive is my preference for plowing. Cub 100 with ag tires and 110# on the land wheel and 55# on the furrow wheel. Considering mounting an electric lift from a 147. Getting older and weaker to be pulling on the arm strong lift. Once you get to plowing, it is hard to stop, especially when all is going well!

Here's your pictures, taken a week later.

I love the smell of fresh turned earth in the morning
