That is some tuff dirt !!! I'd of liked to try my WD-45 with 14.9's and less tractor weight and see how it would do. I haven't been anywhere that challenging yet.

Your WD45 was working so hard we could barely hear you at times, ha! Thanks for uploading it.

Watching the tractors working that hard in the video reminds me of one of the local shows around here that is at the beginning of August. No alfalfa, just wheat stubble, but the ground is usually bone dry and like concrete at that time of year... There are a lot of what are typically 3 plow tractors just getting by with 2 bottom plows, and the soil comes out in big chunks.

Guys, that alfalfa was some of if not the toughest dirt I've ever dropped a plow in!

Doc, I'll give you a holler when we get ready to plow there this fall.

Thanks for watching guys.
