I saw the discussion of plowing on the list serve and thought I'd upload a colorized picture of plowing for your entertainment! Hope it uploads!

Nice picture with a lot of memories. Glad to see your post.

If this link works it will be aerial pictures from Land of Legend tractor club in Newark, Ohio. I flew the airplane and our president's wife took the pictures. About 85 tractors and plowed 320 acres in a 2 day weekend. This album is on my profile page.

Thanks for these posts, John and Gene.  They made a visit to this forum a rewarding experience tonight.

What's the plane?  Cessna 170?  I particularly liked the picture showing the dozers in amongst the rubber tired tractors!

John, the airplane is a 1977 Maule M5-210C. Stol airplane built in Moultrie Georgia. Has a 210 HP fuel injected Continental 6 cylinder engine. Maule Aircraft is a family owned company and has been making similar airplanes since 1965.

We had a good variety of tractors and dozers. Not shown in the pictures is a Cat 60 pulling about a 8 foot drag type disc. He alternated with RD-4 on the disc. I had my Case 900 with 4-16 Case plow. No driver, so was not in the pictures from the air.
