SE South Dakota | Yes this (land) is the good stuff around here, not all is this nice! These runs are 950 feet long with about 3' fall, I set the grade at 3 tenth's. Most tiling I do I end up using a steeper grade. I'm using a Gold Digger (hat please Denny!) three point mounted plow on a JD 8220 front wheel assist.
One thing I have noticed this year (dry) as opposed to last year (very wet) the plow puts harder. I hardly ever needed a extra tractor on front last fall and now I rarely go without one, it I am using any depth at all. It's not a monster pull but with two tractors it just slips right in.
Once I started using that auto-trac to steer the tractor I like it alot as I can keep my eye on the plow and know the line is going in straight. Also I just set the width to whatever spacing I have and each run is exactly the same distance apart.
Are you the one that posted a picture of your rig last fall, a quad trac? Now that would be my wish tractor for a tile plow. Me a red tractor???
