Plowing with a 1963 953 video (and some others tractors)

Hey everyone.

 

Last weekend I got invited by a friend to their plow day, and he loaned me his 1963 953 with plow to take for the day. I had a blast and figured it would be a good time to film and launch my garden tractor YouTube channel.

 

If you'd like the see the 953 (and some Cubs and Sears tractors) do some field world, here's the link -

Awesome!  They sure do turn the dirt well, huh?

Yeah, the 953 behaved like a small row crop tractor. You could plow in second gear all day. My friend re-powered this one with a 12 horse after the original was worn out, and he said that extra power is really noticeable.
