Re: I bought a disc plow without even knowing what it was.
Your tractor should have plenty of traction especially if you use 4 wd. I used to pull two discs mounted on wheels attached to the drawbar with a lot lighter 2 wd tractor. I would think the 3 point model would roll over a stump pretty easily. That would be my choice for a breaking plow. Never thought much about a mouldboard.

Re: I bought a disc plow without even knowing what it was.
That is a garden making plow there!
It will flip the soil over and bury whatever is growing under neath a layer of dirt. Old timer that lived near me years ago had one for his 8N and made a huge garden every year, started off turning everything under. He made terraces to hold runoff on hills by plowing in both directions throwing up a 'levee' and with practice it will invert the soil completly.
Plows like that are hard to come by and someone would probably pay a fair price for it to turn soil.PROUD AIR FORCE DAD

Re: I bought a disc plow without even knowing what it was.
I don't really know because it was all part of a 'deal' that a friend of mine worked out. I posted more about the price in this thread:

Re: I bought a disc plow without even knowing what it was.
I would love to hear how well it works for you. My soil is pretty rocky so I'm worried a tiller would be just a waste of time and a moldboard plow may have issues with the rocks, roots, and ledge around me. If you decide you don't need it let me know, I would be interested.

Re: I bought a disc plow without even knowing what it was.
I thought about just digging a foot down with the BH but thought it would be slow getting on and off to remove rocks and the dozer has a couple of leaks that may not help the garden grow. But most of all I have a 3 pt hitch and ag tires just begging to play in the dirt.

Re: I bought a disc plow without even knowing what it was.
Wow that is pretty impressive!
What did you use for paint? I'd like to have this sandblasted and prime and paint it, but I really have no idea what type of paint to use. I assume some sort of heavy duty epoxy paint or something?
