Better not drive you 25 hp tractor with 12.4's on it out there unless you duals or triples on, you'd sink out of sight.
So what have they got there 600 HP?

Just think of the "dead" furrow you could end up with in that deal!

If it weren't for the last minute, I wouldn't get anything done!

Did anyone look at the speed plowing after it? Never seen that before. That looks crazy.

Shameless, Those big plows are a real sight to see
Granted, this is "small" compared to some I've seen.

Neat. A shame he didn't turn off that da**ed pickup truck. All you really hear is that POS idling. Wondering about the technique myself. For what specific purpose?
My favorite tandem thingy.

Years ago in one of the farm mags there was a write-up about reclaiming mesquite infested ground in Texas. They used plows like that single one and plowed around six feet deep, pulling it with a couple of crawlers. It worked very well breaking the ground and turning the brush under. The only problem was that it also broke up the root clumps as well and in net effect rerooted the mesquite resulting in a heavier infestation. Mind you this was prior to some of the really effective brush killers that we have today!

Those are European tractors. In the States someone would have just found a bigger horse to hook to the plow.

The back tractor's transmission had went out, but since it was the only one with a radio, they had to plow like this
