What a rip, a person brings a tractor and plow to plow for someone and they have to bring there own lunch  There was a farm over near Charles Town West Virginia that used to host a plow day along with a fall festival and everyone that showed up and plowed got 2 tickets for a free lunch.  ------------- 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 |

Keeping this in mind. Google maps says it's about a 4 hour drive from here. If the beans cooperate and are done I just might make it. Anyone think I'm nuts if I show up with a tractor (and plow) I've never plowed with? |

| The lack of a "free lunch" sure doesn't bother me. I'm always thankful for a couple hours of moldboard plowing. Gets harder each year finding landowners that will even allow such a thing to happen. |

I'd pay someone to let me plow, and bring lunch for everyone if it would happen in my area. One lil thing on my bucket list is to get my 7580 up and running again, and hook my 6 bottom semi mounted plow onto it and give it a whirl. Darrel |

Like the Doctor said, the free lunch is no big deal to me. Just glad to have someplace to put the plow in the dirt! |

I would gladly pack a lunch if I was given the chance to plow some ground. Don’t apologize for not being able to provide a lunch anymore. ------------- 1968 B-208, 1976 720 (2 of them)Danco brush hog, single bottom plow,52" snow thrower, belly mower,rear tine tiller, rear blade, front blade, 57"sickle bar,1983 917 hydro, 1968 7hp sno-bee, 1968 190XTD |

We have been lucky, find a place to plow just about every year, missed a couple because was too wet or too dry. We always brought our own lunch. ------------- 1945 C, 1949 WF and WD, 1981 185, 1982 8030, unknown D14(nonrunner) |

Always thought it would be a handy way to get some soil turned over. Invite everybody over and let them plow your field . Like others have said nobody hardly wants a plow on their land, let alone the liability. Glad to hear you are putting one on . Wish I was closer I would love to turn some soil. The few that I have been to all do things differently. Some supply lunch ,others ask to bring a covered dish ,most just let you have a place to play.

| We sort of had one a couple of springs ago. We did dish to pass. One of the issues if someone doean't have their plow set right, it can make a fitting tough. We could have one im trumansburg next spring if there is any interest? |

| I'm no farmer but why wouldn't getting your field plowed for free be a 'win win'? |

The current science says to not disturbed the soil with tillage. I do not think no till is the only successful way to farm. But because of rocks and old tree roots, I have never been around a plow.

I totally understand no-till and the reasoning behind it. But, plowing the ground every few years had its advantages also. Especially in flat ground. My buddy struggled with 3 fields no-till orchard grass. Low production even though he had followed what the soil samples. So I suggested we tear up the ground last fall that had been 23 years without a plow in it. Even though we went through a drought this year, the orchard grass field looked better than ever. The ground was hard packed and I feel the nutrients were not getting down to the roots were they needed to be. ------------- 1968 B-208, 1976 720 (2 of them)Danco brush hog, single bottom plow,52" snow thrower, belly mower,rear tine tiller, rear blade, front blade, 57"sickle bar,1983 917 hydro, 1968 7hp sno-bee, 1968 190XTD |
