Shined the plow up
Had a few minutes to "play" with the Brinly plow and the 982! 
With nothing more than some water in the turf tires and a few adjustments we got her plowing pretty good! With a little bit more fine tuning and a little bit more traction I think we will have the plow throwing almost perfect.. The dirt was pretty wet and the turfs were limiting my traction and making it hard to maintain a constant ground speed. All in all I was very impressed with the traction of the turf tires in dirt! I have never plowed with anything other than ag tires.. I really thought moldboard plowing would be near impossible with turfs... but I was wrong!
I stopped and took a couple of pictures because the Onan got a little thirsty and needed a drink of gasoline!!   With the tractor tilted over sideways a few degrees the fuel pump started sucking air!
Dad is an old school farmer... he has turned more land in his lifetime than anybody I know... He was very helpful in making adjustments to the plow. He and I both had a lot of fun "playing" in the dirt!
