Overview
Brock buys a beat-up two-bottom plow for $150 and actually tries to pull it with his John Deere 2038R, and honestly documents it failing at full throttle, four-wheel drive, and diff lock engaged. He covers three-point clearance limits, plow leveling technique, and how plow condition affects draft. The candid 'it didn't work' conclusion makes this useful for compact tractor owners wondering where the real-world limit is.
An owner-operator channel that documents real farm tasks on their own property, so expect hands-on trial-and-error rather than polished dealership presentation.
