    It’s still in the early planning stages so far but I’ll keep you posted. We probably would use a disc or disc + spring tooth harrow. I think 20 might be hard to manuever with a moldboard plow. In any practical situation I think one man working more than 12 would be too much but it would be fun to try once.

    Yep, I’m sure you are right about discing or harrowing with 20 head rather than turning soil. Actually I consider discing to be plowing, because most of the plowing done in our area (tractor wise) is with an offset disc. Virtually no one uses a turning plow anymore, because it creates such a hardpan in the heavier soils.

    If you know far enough in advance if & when you are going to try this out I might even be able to get my company to pay for my flight up there. I am required to visit company facilities in field locations at least once yearly & haven’t gone out yet this year. Last year I went to Alabama, but this year I was thinking about loacations in Northern Pennsylvania and New Jersey. It would be a (relatively) short hop from the northern most parts of PA to where you are in New York, at least relative to where I live.

    Sounds cool, I hope y’all do it!
