Some of those Italian plows seem to be 24 inch depth. I wonder
what the metric depth is.<br>
<br>
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. <br>

<sni> Back to the plowing: OMG what a mess to work down
enough to plant... Do their fields really look that bad on
real farms<br>
As I watch U-tube videos of plowing in the UK I keep
wondering, don't their fields ever dry down to where they plow
well? They do a nice job there and many take it very serious
but their fields all seem to plow up like a field I would wait
another 3 days on...<br>
I got a real shock one day when I just searched for "how to
plow a field" just out of curiosity as to what would come up.
Once again "OMG"! I never saw so many supposed tutorials where
the creator absolutely didn't have even a vague idea about
what they were doing... One guy was even driving with the
wrong wheel in the furrow... Throwing everything all toward
the unplowed land each pass. Did a whole big garden that way.<br>
I have the little plowing book that came with the 9N
Ford/Ferguson DAD bought new. It is about as good on layouts
as anything I have seen. I should scan it and post it
somewhere. Its biggest limitation is that it is for mounted
plows. and some things are a little different.<br>
I do have a copy of a book that was issued for members of the
old 4-H Tractor Maintenance project that was good on pull type
plows. Maybe I could post some of that as well.<br>
The results of a well-adjusted plow behind a tractor that is
well sat up for that plow can be very pretty, especially to
some of us old guys. 😀 I didn't see a lot of good results
in those how-to videos but there were several that were very
good. If you don't search for "how-to" you get better videos.<br>

I can understand the wild and wonderful Landini plowing. Looks
like Landini was using 3 point hitch on hot bulb tractors in
the fifties.<br>
