It uses a heavily modified John Deere LUC engine

I think there may be an IH at the heart of that JD. ;)
Very cool tractor.
Very intriguing plow. Didn't know they made brush breaking plows. Plowing rooty ground isn't easy.
With low enough gearing, the red IH engine should be able to plow with a Brinley plow. My 2hp FMZ plows easily enough with it's ground engaging cast iron Peerless 4speed gearbox and garden tractor sized plow. I've twisted up a plow with it busting roots on a new garden. So plenty of torque and I respect the brute of that big JD plow!

A friend of the guy on the Waterloo Boy posted this picture, that’s me under the red arrow chasing it down to make the video above  :D

Here’s a neat old ad for the plow (No. 11)

I wanted to see if it could pull that big ol' plow.

Haha I don’t think it would have gotten that plow too far into the ground. He sure got a lot of looks driving it around  :)
