Pretty Impressive!

That is impressive. Having never been a farmer I'm curious as to what the next step would be in readying
that soil for planting. Discing (sp)? Will it eventually be made up into rows, or planted flat?

I guess the reason I'm asking is, if the next step is the disc, it looks like a machine that size could
easily pull a disc attached behind the plow.

Just showing my ignorance (which I do frequently.)
 
soil after it has been plowed needs to "cure" for a time to work better getting a good rain does wonders. Only us old timers remember that procedure always wanted to finish plowing couple weeks before planting.
 
Either discing or use a field cultivator. Very little discing here anymore- plowing either...usually a disc chisel for primary tillage. Discs pack the soil, FC digs it up. Either way, tine harrow mounted on the rear to smooth for a seedbed. Size? My 4450 JD MFWD pulls 6-18 plow, 12 foot disc chisel, 14 foot plowing disc (26 inch blades), and 24 foot FC.
 
The Williams brothers 747 Big Bud that was brought from Montana to Rantoul was 1000HP. Their cousin, Merle Coil from Saybrook went to Iowa and put different injectors in it that juiced it up to 1200HP. It just had 8 tires on it. When they roaded it from Penfield to Rantoul in the evening, they went by a house that had a baby monitor and set it off with the virabration. I have a picture of my JD 435 backed up drawbar to drawbar to the 747 at Penfield. I didn't know if that 2-53 could have pulled the pin of the big one.
