Cat D8 Deep Plowing

I'm sure there's a reason, but it looks like all the black dirt is now on the bottom and clay on top.

.
If this is being planted, they want to break up the hard pan dirt under top soil so future plants
will have deeper roots and water will go deeper in the ground and hold more water and not run off else ware.

Heavy farm tractors pack the ground down under to hard after a few years of use.
The top soil will still be there for deeper roots to feed off of.

Better plant growth.

They do that a lot in Holland where they are reclaiming fields. There have been videos of it on here before. It is interesting to see how much horsepower it takes to plow that deep!

Hi, Drujinin.
I grant that it might take a fair bit of power to pull a single bottom plow that deep but I think the issue is more one of traction in that ground.
