It's a FURD! Just like a MUDSTAIN!
And a LIGHTNING!
Anyway I was cutting on some wood that I needed out the yard today. Loaded it up in the bucket and took it to my parents house and dumped it on their wood pile. I had their scrapeblade on my tractor for a few months now and decided that while I was there I'd take it off ass I wasn't needing it anymore. Low and behold while doing so I see nested around a bunch of junk in the woods by where they keep their plows and accessories there was this old disc plow. This was my grandpa's and last I knew I had this thing burried deep in the ground uses his old Furd 2000 where it sat for years. I doubt this has been used in 25+ years.
So at that point what do you think I did? Yeap, I said, "I want to plow some chit, dog on blasted! I got tractor. I got plow. I got land. Let's pop this tractor tilling cherry and turn some dirt."
Check out how green the woods are right now.
You may be asking, "JROC why in the fool did you take off the FEL?" Well because I'm plowing and don't need it. Would you rather drive a Chevy Caprice or a Corvette? Driving this thing without the FEL compared to driving it with the FEL is a night and day difference. In fact one of the reasons I chose the Deere over the equivalent Kumoda and Massey Harris.... errr Ferguson is because of how nimble and agile the 5E was compared to the M60 and 2600H tractors. (That and because Murica!)You throw the Deeres long and heavy FEL on it and that sporty, nimbleness goes right out the window. Driving this thing without the FEL is like driving a tall go-cart and driving it with the FEL is like driving a school bus.
My fun was short lived. One of the discs was so eaten up with rust that it starting breaking pieces off and I don't want a bunch of big pieces of sharp metal on/in the dirt to flatten a tire or something. Here are some pics for fun though. Really my grandpa used to pull this thing with an 8N and a Ford 2000 diesel. This tractor here could of handled at least another disc on it if not two more discs.
