Had a little fun yesterday getting ready for the Fall rye and garlic.
Anyone else?

Action! Fall plowing with the Case 644 garden tractor. That Kohler K321 14HP engine definitely can do it!

Our 13 year old grandson turning the garden over with the disks . Followed closely by his entourage the pest control squad .
Thats it the garden is done until spring .
After that he helped me change the rear tires over and put on the snow blower on the 3 pt. Almost ready for winter .

I like what those disks have done Dave! I only managed to till in some winter rye today but not on the whole garden as a third of it was too muddy,

The last mod.s to the disks really made a difference.

Some pictures of my plowing last fall. Sadly I will be cutting my potatoe gardens in half this year. So that means less tractor fun. I was hoping to have the Case 446 do some plowing, but never happened. I need to get a sleeve hitch for it so I can hook up my Plow, tandem disks, cultivator, potato hiller and other homemade attachments. So I use a LGT 100 Ford tractor aka Grunt. It does all the garden work. Worn out 10hp kohler k engine, that should of had rings put in 10 years ago. But it works great, smokes a little, clean the fouled up plug ever now and then and away you go.
Any way, ramblin again, so picture time.

@Propane57 Noel that some nice looking dirt . You could grow something else in the unused potato section . Plant a easy pick cash crop sell off at end of drive way to help fund tractor parts . Ya I had some goofy looking veg over the years too .

That brings back pleasant memories! Noel, my first Case was 220 and I did plow and tilled it with it. The 10HP Kohler was not tired but I did not know at the time that the pressure relief valve was set too loose so it was screaming a lot while ground engaging. Even so, I went slow and got the garden done. I like how you attached that wheel to the plow! This is something I want to do as well just never got around to it. You have a nice garden, thanks for showing it to us!
Can't wait for spring to engage the ground again!
