Enjoy this video of the 150 Case plowing for the FIRST TIME EVER with a 36 bottom John Deere plow. Plowing through rain and mud, this beast couldn’t be held back. Want to see it in action? Come to James Valley Threshing Show in 2021 where we will attempt to break this new record.

My grandfather was a Case traction engine dealer in the 1900's, his shop still stands today with the high swing doors and the floor 2 feet of concrete. Wish I could go back in time for just one day

I was born in 1940 grew up in London and the guy in the house opposite was a steam engine fireman, he took me into the steam yards a couple of times to pick up his wages. There were engines everywhere getting cleaned and steamed up, though I didn't know any of this at such a young age. My father was employed in tunnel construction and was build 7 paralle tunnels on the twin track Northern railway route from London to Scotland. These would enable twin track running in both directions. My uncle had a farm in North Wales and I'd be put on a train at Paddington London and met by my uncle at Wrexham. He ploughed with horses and it was my nephews job to water them down and feed them at the end of each day. So they would stand in the pond for an hour or so and we would clean them down, those old boys would turn around as you finished each quarter. They could plough a field and no need to tell them anything. Then on one trip uncle told me he had bought a Grey Ferguson tractor well I started crying as in London the milk float horses had been replaced with electric and the horses put down. On arriving at the farm I was releaved to see them retired to the orchard, now I could enjoy learning to drive a tractor. One day I asked what the huge stone blocks and cast iron corners were on all the farm building, uncle told me it was to help steer the steam engines that came to plough the fields. They would ride the side of the wheel up and kick the machine sideways. Two would set up at each side of the field and winch the plough across using long ropes, a smaller version plough than you have shown. It would be turned and the other engine would winch it back and so on. This method proved troublesome and expensive so horses were used again, steam wagons were used to transport produce the market and Liverpool docks, so the kick corners still had a use.
