I’m new to farming,I’v inherited a 20 acre pasture that has’nt been touched for 25 years do I sobsoil first thn plow,disc, and I forget the name of that last thing after discing,anyway what order do I proceed to replant a grass timothy grass mix,and should I turn the lime under? any positive help would be appreciated!!!
Why would it be struggling with 5 legs at just over a foot of working depth ? My 50hp tractor is struggling with a heavy 11 tine cultivator at 1 foot depth ! Which is still child’s play for this IH
IH had the Magnum powershift ready at the time of the takeover by Case. Case had just developed the CTA8.3 engine with Cummins. They combined the best of both in the Magnum.
230 HP! That thing sends chills up my spine with how it sounds and looks! My little cub cadet IH 782′s have nothing on that big guy! Check out my videos, plan on making more soon. Again great video!!!!
Thats a beautifull tractor and a gorgeous piece of property you have there.
I think you need a larger toolbar to benefit from that tractors potential though. With the cost of fuel being so high,every pass counts.
Thanks for sharing.
24 inch is 60 cm…
I rip with a 5245 Zetor and 3 shank ripper at 50 cm with ease. When going deeper, I’m loosing traction right before the dirt hits the frame rails on the better spots. In the worse spots, with iron ore in it, it works hard at 70 cm.
That 180 hp tractor, on our soil, needs a 9 shank ripper to make those horses running.
It looks like you are deep enough, but maybe could use two more shanks on each side of the ripper to use the tractor to its fullest. Great lookin trator by the way.
Put that thing in the ground man you just motoring with it or your ground is loose enough you dont need it man i put 250 on its knees in my ground @ 24 inches

the only problem with the magnum powershift is that the park break locks up real easy
