[AT] Landini 3 point hitch

[James Peck]

James AT List Member (jamesgpeck at hotmail.com):  Deep plowing is listed as a cause of the Dust Bowl. The 17 year old has roots in the migration to California.

Apparently deep plowing is defined as being deeper than 50CM.  One photo on the wiki site is of a tracked plow. It is done to restore soil fertility but I know of a case of a thin topsoil field that was degraded by lowing u clay.

Steve Offiler AT List member Mechanical Engineer (soffiler at gmail.com); Minding your significant digits, that's actually 61cm  ;-)

Phil Kelley AT List Member (philkelley at windstream.net); 24" = 60.96 cm. 😀

James AT List Member (jamesgpeck at hotmail.com):  Some of those Italian plows seem to be 24 inch depth. I wonder what the metric depth is.

The Mussolini administration put money into developing fuel injection to get away from those hot bulb tractors. S.P.I.C.A. also made mechanical fuel injection for sports cars. We know that Massey Ferguson bought Perkins and Landini in the late fifties and started using Perkins in them. Was Landini still making hot bulb engines up to that point?  But, the you tube shows 3 point hitches and hydraulic pumps driven from the front of hot bulb engines. Did Landini copy the Ferguson System with approval?  Some of the tractors are rearing back like there is no automatic draft control.
