 Topic: Plowing video that would be neat
Posted: 06 Nov 2016 at 6:21pm |
|
I was reading about the use of number 9 wire on a plow. It would be neat of someone who really knows how to do it would have a video that shows:
1. Where to attach the wires, now long they are etc..
2. How to get the plow started in the furrows with the wires. And show where the wires are running as the plow plows..
And anything else we need to know!

My dad run #9 wire when we plowed, but mostly I remember that it was for plowing under corn stalks not used to much in sod ground. You need to hook this on the coulters and run it 2 feet past the last plow bottom. Make them vary in length as need be. This will help pull trash through the plow bottoms and help it to not plug up. Hope this helps.

Chain sounds like it would work better, and be a great way to clean up all the rusty chains hanging around the place!

I'd be interested in seeing how this is done as well.

Back when a neatly plowed field were admired and thing of pride dad would run wires when we were plowing under rye and sometimes corn stalks. The end of the wire drags under the furrow and holds the wire tight and anything sticking up is pulled under the wire and plowed under. It works really well with only minor short comings.

I've never heard of that here in Indiana. So do you have to get off at the beginning of each pass and get your wires all set as you put the plow in the ground?

No, they pretty much take care of themselves and go where they are supposed to as long as they are on the right side of the bottoms. Occasionally on the snap coupler plows the front one will try to wrap the tractor tire. You do have to be a bit careful how you turn but they are not a problem child, they just do their jobs without much fuss.

No you don't have to do anything, as stated before, the dirt turning over pulls and holds the wires down therefore pulling the top of the grass down. Also, after running the wires for a while be careful as the ends will have a sharp point on them.
