I could watch this all day.  Brings me back to when I was a kid sitting on the fender of my dads series 4 pulling that same model plow.

Always nice to see that there are still a few around that know how to set a plow. Attending plow days sure makes me wonder at times.

Nice job of setting the plow, but you really need a fourth bottom there.  LOL
Most problems can be solved with the proper application of high explosives.

A couple times I've gotten my CA and 2-14 to plow that nice. I'm guessing that setting a plow is one of those dying talents. Most guys in the automotive world have never rebuilt an alternator or a starter. For the new stuff, internal parts aren't available, just replace it.

That's true. It wouldn't be plowing without having a steering wheel acorn nut implanted into your chest at least once would it?

Agreed.  And once when subsoiling too.  I manage to find a rock with a 2' blade rather than the 14 of the plow....

I am no expert but 50 year old plow points is probably part of the problem for most of us.

True statement.  My dad always welded a plate to the points instead of buying new.  The plow never would pull right.
