[AT] Plows, was Re: Supervision

[Cecil R Bearden]

The old tractor mechanic, who taught me the trade over 50 years ago, had 
worked in a Moline dealership for many years in OKC.   He would tell 
about the only plows that could pull the red clay in OK, were Moline & 
Oliver.  He also would talk about which brand bought Moline & Oliver 
plows and painted them their colors.  Here in OK, if we plow 8 to 10 
inches deep, it is deep.  We usually only plow to roll up the terraces 
when they get worn down.   I am in the part of the country where the 
Graham Hoeme plow was invented.
