Eric, I think that Turbo H-D has a Mitsubishi in it doesn't it. It'll run 35 mph. Belongs to Tom Zickmund jr., and he does excellent work. ------------- You don't really have to be smart if you know who is! |

hope you all enjoy I'm sure there is some equipment we've seen before, like the only wc that I know of that can pull a 3 bottom pull type plow. and there was a mixed bag of tractors.but that makes for a good plow day,kinda hard to brag on the A.C. if you don't have some odd colored tractors show up!!!! enjoy Eric

Yes! That is Marion Klutzke with his "secret weapon" WC. The only WC I have ever seen pulling a 3 btm plow. He hit one spot today that pulled it down, the first time I ever saw that. Course he was in a bigger gear when it hapened. The field had some tuff spots. There was a JD 730D with a 4 btm that sucked wind in those! The LP 17 is also his as well as the little "buggy". The Guy with the 1206 and the only plow bigger than a 4 btm allowed today is Myron Hitchings who has furnished us with about 40 acres of wheat stubble for the last 4-5 years. Someone spouted off about the big plow and he said "My sandbox, my rules" He had an onland 6 btm to open the field with. LOL ------------- You don't really have to be smart if you know who is! |

Well, I wouldn't have griped about the 1206. Anytime you see an old girl doing what she was made to do, it's a pretty sight! The H diesel is a hoot, and the AC "buggy" is neat too, Roto-Baler canopy and all! Give us some more info on it. The Minnie looked to be a hoss. |

You guys would have liked the MM too. Its a 51 or 52 U with a 4-53 Detroit. Not only LOUD! it pulls good too. Plus a beautiful paint job with polished aluminum and copper lines then clear-coated. ------------- You don't really have to be smart if you know who is! |

We're having our first plowday here in Aurora in October, just out of curiosity what do you do when someone breaks down...I figured plow around them, but if you own the ground I would imagine you wouldn't be too happy to have an uneven spot like that. ------------- 29 L Case, 37 CC Case,40 A-C allcrop 40, 43 B Allis Chalmers, 50 DC Case, 54 WD-45 WF, 67 190 Gas |

Shattercane if they have a manual trip plow, throw a chain on and trip the plow to get him out of the way. Hydraulics, wellllll that's kinda another problem. Your club or group should have a tractor with loader to unload and reload plows, cause many will come in loaded in front or in such a way that they will not slide down the ramps. Maybe some extra cans of gas just in case, and there will already be enough chains to pull stuff with. I think you said this was a virgin run, but you guys will definitely be planning for next year before the sun goes down. We had about 28 tractors and plows this year and were limited to 4 bottoms. Last year we had a couple of horses with 6's and 4-5 5 bottoms. 40 acres lasted ONE and a HALF hours. We started an hour before dinner and finished up after dinner. I got to make 1 round with my 45 and one half round with my WD and No. 2 2 btm. Sure hope this helps, and get ready for some "real" fun! After all is done the farm operator will likely have to chisel two times crossways to level the field. Lots of guys dont know how to set the plows, but it will be fun anyway! I think my e-mail is listed un the pull down at left and I'll help anyway I can. Joe ------------- You don't really have to be smart if you know who is! |

One thing I thoght would bring out comments is the operator on that really nice John Deere GP with trip plow. That fellow is maybe 8 years old this year and he first plowed with us last year. The ONLY thing he needs an adult for is to get that beast started. After that point he does nothing but trip the plow where he's supposed to,drive to the other end, trip the plow where he's supposed to and back again. That little fellow did more plowing than most of the adults. And had to stand all afternoon to see! View his pictures and you'll see him "horseing" the tractor back straight!! Power steering my aunt fannie!So fun to watch him!!!!!!! ------------- You don't really have to be smart if you know who is! |

That is some good info Dipstick, I think we are cutting our teeth on a 30 acre patch, but I told the land owner (also a antique enthusiast) that he would have to open it up as there are some terraces and a waterway that could get tore up if he didn't lead the way. That being said, the loader is also a must I would assume. Hopefull in the next few years we'll get up to a 40 or maybe an 80; however, I don't think I want to bounce around more than an hour or two on the ol' girls. I don't know that I have it in me as I am from the air conditioned farming generation.

Shattercane I'll be glad to help, 'specially since you'll probably be using some of that "other" good orange equipment. LOL I cut my teeth on a 37 WC, but spent a lot of seat time on a 53 DC with a believe it or not 3-14 David Bradley plow trip plow. Where's Aurora? Im familiar with US 36 over to Washington and then I would go north to Fairburry, Ne. hauling seed corn. We had a customer at Holton, Ks also. ------------- You don't really have to be smart if you know who is! |

AC WD45, couldn't stand the suspense anymore so I called Tom Zickmund owner, operator, rebuilder of the Turbo H-D. He told me that was a Mitsubishi Diesel out of a Dodge pickup. I've talked to him about it before and there was quite a bit of mods to make it work. If anything its even prettier in person than in a picture. He does excellent work and has done a few other tractors, all of them just as nice. ------------- You don't really have to be smart if you know who is! |

AC WD45 ref:chains, yes, on some of our snotty when wet clay that wheel would just slide and not lift the plow. ------------- You don't really have to be smart if you know who is! |
