So I have this Ford 1700 which I have now owned for five years. Love it. Just for mowing until now.
This year, I am thinking very seriously about doing some serious gardening- like plowing up an acre or two, and putting in some rows of potatoes, corn, etc.
In looking around, I have found 2 bottom plows, and 3 bottom plows out there locally on Ebay or craigslist. This like this one:
3Pt Ford Plow
What do you think- for plowing up an acre or two, is a two-bottom plow doable on a Ford 1700? Is a three-bottom plow doable? Does a Ford 1700 have the power necessary to be able to use a 2 or 3 bottom plow?
Your thougths, please.
My soil is pretty heavy. Hasn't been plowed in perhaps 40 years. So it's not going to be the easiest...
Thanks
