I finally got to plow with the CA. I was plowing in second gear about 8"s deep. It worked really well.

| I sold the CA and plow I used to plow with for fun on this 8 acre patch I live on. Good little plowing tractors. |

do you have to use side engine weights with that, or is it good to go without weights? ------------- 1947 C, 1949 B, 195? CA 60 series cultivator fertilizer side dresser 2 bottom snap coupler plow 1 bottom plow, Cole planter |

What’s that coming from under the left tire??? 😳 it has been raining here for 4 days and forecasted to rain well into next week. We may not see conditions fit to plow until June or July. ------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. Real pullers don't have speed limits. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |

Dad never had weights on the Ca except one C inner wheel weight he would put on the landside wheel. I remember seeing him going up a small clay hill at the "other place" with the front wheels off the ground, but in normal conditions, the fluid filled 13-24's did everything he needed. He even plowed some flat cornstalk ground at half throttle in 3rd gear many times. Handy tractor to have back in the days of 15 to 20 acres fields with fences all around. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

I don't see any of those Rocks of Gibraltar that are so prevalent in your part of the state! You must have a crew of good rock pickers. ------------- 1951 CA, 1952 CA with cultivator, 20 Series 8' disc harrow, 2 bottom pick-up plow, forage blower, 2-row rear mounted drill corn planter, Allcrop grain drill, No. 80T sickle mower, MN No. 130 barge box |

 Here are some of the rocks Wisconsin evidently didn't need. They came down here under a glacier many years ago. This one has been called the haystack rock for as long as I can remember. This bottom ground, just a half mile from the Mississippi is the only place around that I know of that has any rocks near the surface.
