Half track tractor plowing snow

Plowed for many years with a Jubilee and a similar Dearborn plow. Ours was a 1947 cable lift. Chains and loaded tires. Pushed like yours. That was in the 60’s and 70’s when Pa. Had real snows. Thanks brought back good memories

Had an 8N with the Funk conversion growing up in New York. Hardly ever used the half tracks without canvas engine covers, snow was not conducive to keeping it running. Put a Meyers plow on it, built for the 8N. Modified the frame of the plow where it went to the rear axle. 4 inch heavy angle and 3 in iron pipe welded inside it to get the strength needed to keep it from making rainbows.

Very cool lookin tractor that’s really freaking cool that you’re making these videos and you’ll share them with your son not to mention make your own memories as he grows up👍🏼🤘🏼

What a grand adventure for us in So. Calf. Thanks. Enjoy your videos.😊

Now that’s power steering…. When it takes all your power to steer.👌🏼😁💪🏼💪🏼

Back in the 60's, when I was a boy, my father had an old Ferguson with half tracks....I never seen them actually on the tractor. I wonder what a small 4 wheel drive tractor, like a Kubota, would do in the same conditions.

Man you really dialed that paint job in plow n all . and it looks like a cyclops with the blade down comin at ya. :)

Great tractor and video

Mighty fine piece of machinery 👍👍

Dan your a super nice guy

You either need new springs or double springs the way that plow lays over.

Angle one hole. Two holes is too much angle to track straight. Do you have differential lock on that tractor to use when you are backing up? You can also try steering using individual brakes when you are on slick ground. We used to brake steer all the time when plowing snow with our Massey Ferguson with a fixed angle plow blade. Lugged chains seem to work better than tracks on ice and frozen ground.

nice tractor

That traxtor is pretty cool

Nobody probably can't count how many times an older tractor has been fixed with a little baling wire and a pair of pliers

Need some shoes on that plow so you don’t keep tripping the plow as bad

With and open differential you have to brake steer with tracks or even tire chains. You need to fix the brakes before you get yourself into trouble.

That was fun

@godimbad you forgot to advise him breathe. He could suffocate otherwise. And completely chew your food before swallowing or else he could choke. What other arm chair wisdom can you provide?

Mabe try a little less of an angle.like 1 or 2 holes from the centre

Chains

Never liked Ford tractors for the reason you show in this video . another thing try plowing in a lower gear and get some more weight on the back of the tractor then it might work for you .

Go offroad)

Not going to make hate comments, please keep your hands off the fenders when the tracks are turning!!! All it takes is a peice of dirt or snow and clothing get pulled in, make for a real bad day
