Plowing with 350DI

[cjlink]

Over the weekend, I plowed the field for the first time using a 7 shank field cultivator. My wife captured the event on video.

I had just made my first or second pass in the video. It seemed to require 3 passes to really get the job done.

Tell me what you think? I could use some feedback on my technique.

The tractor ran great, and I was out there for 5+ hours.

What kinda plow was that? It looked like a bunch of chisel bits. What is your soil like? As to technique, I've never plowed, but others say, look straight ahead to the end of the row. I noticed you looking back a lot. I don't think it matters, as long as the rows are straight.

Your technique looks good.
The biggest problem I've found using my 7 shank field cultivator is the amount of trash that it picks up, especially in areas with heavy root systems. I would plow first and the field cultivator would seem to pull everything back up that I had turned over with the plow.
If you run a disc over what you've done it will help cut up a lot of the grass and weeds that are still lying around.
