I have a tiller, but have been thinking about picking up an old plow for use as a first pass on heavy sod ground. Since I was off today, I decided to make a trip to TSC. Wouldn't you know it.... on my way there I spotted an old plow sitting at the side of the road with a for sale sign. This was about 10 minutes from my house.
I stopped and looked at it.....well, $200 later and....now I am the owner of a dearborn 10-1 plow. It has 2 14" bottoms on it. I don't know much about plows....but it looked similar to an old ford plow I used to use while growing up.
I remember my dad replacing the plow shares on our old plow....and was wondering if it is even possible to find replacement / new shares for this old plow...so as to "tune" this baby up. Also, what to heck is a shin?
We have had too much rain in the last 2 days to try this puppy out, ....if I had only picked it up earlier in the week.
So I am looking for any advice any of you out there can offer up. Any of you guys have the same plow? How does she do?
PS.... I bought 2 plows today....the other was a middle buster at TSC to use for potatoes. I bad...right?
