That's impressive. I probably only went a few inches down with my 10" and I was slippin and spinnin the whole way.

Actually the red comes from iron in the soil, so lots of the red dirt is great garden soil.

BUT, some of it is still unbaked bricks!!

OK, when does the discin' start!!??

We need a video!!

You guys are right. It felt about like plowing a big brick.

Disked the big bricks into little bricks today. I've got to figure out something to add to keep the clay from packing so bad. Just running a tractor over it packs it harder then I can dig with my fingers. I have some options like horse manure, straw and maybe creek sand. What's everyones favorite organic material to loosen up a garden patch?

That red clay. Hard a brick in summer.

I've been adding compost from my local landfill the past two years. Seems to be helping. I'll get pics up after I till again.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
