He covers three-point clearance limits, plow leveling technique, and how plow condition affects draft. The candid 'it didn't work' conclusion makes this useful for compact tractor owners wondering where the real-world limit is.
An owner-operator channel that documents real farm tasks on their own property, so expect hands-on trial-and-error rather than polished dealership presentation.
Not well in this test. Even at full throttle, four-wheel drive, and diff lock, the tractor bogged down whenever the plow dug to a real depth, so it was called a fail.
Brock says this is probably about the smallest frame size that can carry the plow, since his three-point hitch could barely lift it off the ground.
Pull the tractor onto six-inch blocks, drop the plow until it touches the ground to set digging depth, then check if it looks level.
Plow condition matters. Dull plow points dig less efficiently, and Brock suggests sharpening them or shortening the top link to reduce aggressive digging.
