MONDAY NOVEMBER 4 1946 In the field at the Experimental Farm with a 101 tractor equipped with a Ferguson plow which we converted from a two bottom to a single botoom. The llinkage was the Ferguson. But of course we did not have the Ferguson connection though the upper thrust link for automotive control of draft. We attached our hydraulic control. In this way we controlled the plow depth manually thru the hydraulic control hand lever. When the tractor wheels started to spin we raised the plow thru the hydraulic system and so let the tractor go ahead. The suck of the plow kept a lot of added weight on the tractor wheels an gave added traction (just as Ford Ferguson do) Believe we can get a good plow and a simple one too using the principle of the Ferguson Linkage. Scholfield, Thompson Murray & I in field We were all pretty well pleased.
