C'mon you tractor blokes

Hi mike Thats a nice supper 70 you have. One of the first 70s with twin air cleaners turned out chassie rails like my two 60DAs

Here is a photo of a slide back in 1959,must be school holidays us kids on tractors LA Case 1948 ,P model Bulldog 1952 ,WD9 Inter 1948 .The Inter was put in just for picture it only has a melon plough on behind .Pretty big gear 10 plate sundercut and 12 plate shearer one way ploughs. : : :
This next picture of around 1959 is of a eagle which is a Australian verision of the USA verision of Case embeleum on the mudgaurd of the LA Case

the 70, to be honest, isnt the most useful tractor in the shed. doesnt have any hydraulics so its a bit tricky to use on the scarifier but heres a picture of it having bit of a go.

that certainly is a good looking super 70 , twin air cleaners really adds some visual grunt

This is how I did my farming before going zero till .My Chamberlain 4490 pulling two twenty disc massey ploughs.

elgindale,GA/Day ,Must be soft ground where you are, 1 of those might be to big up here in this Jeriderie grey ground :)Must have auto steer ,no driver.

what is the principle of zero till, considering turning the soil achieved something?

Chester, no till/zero till/dry land farming basically eliminates working the ground (and burning heaps of fuel as well) as much. Pretty much plant, spray out any weeds, when the crop is mature, spray it out then harvest, then plant again. Idea being to keep the miosture in the ground. A lot more round up used.

Elgindale will correct me if I've got that wrong.

Hokay ... if I don't ask I'll never learn! With the two twenty disc ploughs, what keeps the rear one sitting out wide? Must be a tendency for it to fall in behind and I can't see a stay cable! :

Bugly good evening,
All those 20 disc are pushing the plough out to the left by trying to run straight ,(as the front wheels on a truck would do if you turned the wheels to the left) The weight of the plough on the wheels you hope is enough to hold it straight.Same deal with the front one as it will only have one pulling point as well.When the ground is to hard and the plough not heavy enough the plough will swing out and try to pass the tractor,But in the photo the ground is soft and all is well : : : : : ::)Hope that makes intelegent reading

Ahh I see it all now Colin. Bit like a water skier pointing his skis out to the left, but still being pulled from the rear of the boat on the rope. And the further the skier wants to go out left, the more he heels over and digs his skis in.

With a plough, the harder the ground, the further around to the left it'd go. All to do with the way the discs are set on the plough.

Thanks mate!! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
