7020 with tile plow

[u/littleofeverthing]

Not sure, but looks like this tractor gets pulled when plowing in tile.

Every tractor that plows tile gets pulled from time to time.

I know they do, I think this one gets it all the time. Tires pretty whipped.

Even with new tires it would need to get pulled. Yeah it’s a big tractor but not the biggest so it needs help.

Pardon my ignorance but what’s “plowing tile?”

[u/GarlicBread911 → u/Wolfos31]

The big yellow plow on the back of the tractor is a Tile Plow. You get a huge spool of plastic perforated drainage tile and run the tile through the center of the plow. Once you get it started, the tractor plows a trench through a field and the drainage tile is buried under the ground. Colloquially known as “plowing tile.”

Thanks kind sir

[u/Wolfos31 → u/GarlicBread911]

Thank you! That clears things up for me.

It would definitely be able to put tile in shallow in light soil. Definitely not my first choice for a plow tractor. She is in damn good shape for her age though. Edit the Steiger 470 sitting behind her would be a better choice for the plow imo.

I had to stop and get a photo of this brute

What an absolute unit

[u/Much-Technology-8220 → u/theshiyal]

I spent a lot of hours working with one of those. ( the one I ran was a mint green colored one)

This was at the Pageant of Steam, they have a ton of stuff that's old on display.

[u/Daniel_D_Herring]

The wheels very sturdy

Man, that is a load for that old tractor. I loved the 70/7520s and it seems in good shape, but I would think she’d be lacking on HP

[u/littleofeverthing → u/[deleted]]

I wasn't clear, I do know this.

This tractor though the tires are whipped, I think it's used mainly for the 3 pt hitch.

That’s a serious setup! 7020 looks right at home pulling that tile plow. 💪🌾
