I have been reading numerous posts , trying to decide which would be the best plow for a NH TC 55 4wd, R1 Ags, Thinking about adding 4 wheel Weights.
Most everyone says stay away from shear pin Bottoms.
But a Ford Model 101 has alot of " Hard to find a much better plow than a Ford 101" comments floating around.
Isn't the Ford 101 a Shear pin protected plow ?
Is the shear bolts that big of pain?
I would be plowing 2 acres Spring and Fall.
Reason I am asking , I have found a 3 bt 12" Ford 101, sharp points, good shears, shins , and boards. The Tailwheel spins freely, no slop in the bearing. It has more wear from the weather ( No Paint ), has a ghost of the Ford Emblem , but the Ford Plate is still intact. He wants $75 for it, said if I bought it he would look this winter in the weeds where it is sitting, he thinks that it had coulters but took them off for some reason.
Will I be pulling the guts out of the TC-55 , with that Plow?
If so I could easily make a 2 bt plow by swapping the second plow with the Third ( Tailwheel ) and have extra parts. All for $75.00
Area has been turned over and gardened for the past 20 years, with Manure, Straw, Leaves ,coarse sand added throughout the years. It was orignally heavy red clay, but now is significantly looser, doesn't compact as much, and dark brown in color.
Thanks.
