Rollover plow, two bottoms

[Reg]

NICE, but too big for me and a bit more than I want to pay.

Ummmm; a dumb question, but I might just as well ask it.
Looking through the specs of the various Aldo Biagioli plows it SEEMS that (for a given horse power) a single turns over almost the same width as a double or a triple.
Am I reading this right ?

I guess it makes sense, since the power required probably depends on the total cutting width and speed, but I had been carrying around the notion that a double, triple or quad would turn over n times the amount of soil per pass.
Right now I'm thinking that a wide single would be a lot cheaper, lighter and easier to handle in tight quarters, e.g. for anyone who wanted to turn over small back yard garden plots.

I registered on the Aldo Biagioli site and downloaded their price list.
I also asked about importation to USA, but havn't yet received a reply about that.
If I could get their stuff here for their European prices I would.
I am kinda/sorta re-learning a few words of Italian as I browse the price list, that alone makes the effort worthwhile, fortunately there are PICTURES in the price list.

I downloaded the catalog pages from their website for each model, and found that they had three languages on each page. You might be able to match back from the pricelist to the catalog pages to get more information.

Thinking more generally about reversible plows, I don't think I have ever seen a reversible disc plow.
With all the ingenuity that is around I just have to believe SOMEONE has made one, maybe not a "production", but at least a prototype or home built.

Rollovers have their reversing axis horizontal in line with the tractor, but I think a reversible disc plow could be built with it's reversing axis vertical.

Go get a saucer or soup bowl from the kitchen, stand it on edge, swivel it around...
See what I mean ?
OK, now imagine two or three of them in line (-:

It would be a lot less hardware, no duplicate left/right handed parts to make, etc.

Maybe I should consult with a patent attorney in the morning ?
OK, the time stamp on this post records my "original art".

That would be a switch plow. They make them with discs and shovel bottoms.
Switch Plows

I really don't know much about plows but this thread is interesting and got me googling.

How 'bout here at Everything Attachments...
Two Bottom 12" Tractor Plows Model 82-12

This is where I got my PHD recently with no problems. At least they are not afraid to post prices.

Turbopiper,
Generally, I believe the discussion here is about reversible plows. The one you linked to is a one-way.

Does your name (turbopiper) indicate that you are a pilot? Just curious. I owned an old Comanche for about 12 year. Sure wish I had it back.

WEll, it wouldn't be the first time that I didn't know what I was talking about. I guess the word "rollover" got lost in the translation somewhere.

So your looking for these then: Plows - Acreage Equipment - Catalog - Ludens Implement

The turbopiper name came from my occupation, as a piping designer (AKA "piper"), and liking turbo modified vehicles. I don't mess with turbo stuff much anymore now.

Good luck on your search.

Ted,

Just goes to show how our "handles" can be misunderstood.
People get mine confused all the time.

The link you posted...
that's who I bought my plow from. They've had three of the Ford 102's that I know of.
I wish I had bought the 2nd one they had. It was in a lot better shape and more complete than the one I got but I've got mine put back into shape now. All it took was time and money.

The Ford 102 they have now looks to be needing quite a lot but with time and money, it would make someone a nice plow.

Thanks Brad,
I e-mailed for a price on their "smallest" 3 bottom switch plow, but with 32 inch disks I suspect it will be HEAVY - on both the 3pt and the wallet (-:
