moldboard plowing 4530

[RMOMN]

I had to have ROPS on my L3560 sectioned 4" before tractor would pass beneath 82" garage door with ROPS folded.

A good welding shop can cut/weld so it is unobtrusive. Charged me $200; I was expecting $400.

It is hard to find accurate heights for folded ROPS; especially with redesigns that have occurred with imposition of Tier IV requirements. (Kubota L3560 spec was inaccurate.)
I would take a tape to Mahindra dealer and measure.

ENLIGHTEN US ON CONDITION OF THE PLOW. A PICTURE WOULD BE GOOD.

HOW DEEP IS YOUR TOPSOIL LAYER?

Condition of the plow is good my hunting farm is 270 miles away and I don't have any pictures. I have good heavy black dirt with very few rocks and there is mostly clay about 1' down

You never said, does the Mahindra have a FEL? If so you probably don't need to load the fronts....as the FEL will add about 1000 or 1200 lbs to the front half...BobG in VA....PS: you'd be crazy not to have the FEL...just my 2 cents. ..

It will have a front end loader as I will need to be able to load round bales.

I would not plow 8"- 9" deep with clay subsoil 'about' 1' down.

You do not want to surface clay.

Those conditions are likely to create PLOW PAN after 5-8 passes with a 3/16" plow and a 7,500 pound tractor-loader combination passing over clay.

I would find a 3/12" moldboard plow for those conditions.


I prepare food plots with a Monroe Tufline 18/20" / 915 pound mounted Tandem Disc Harrow, hand sow, then roll in seed with an Cultipacker.

Well the dealer I'm working with has a 2013 6530 with front end loader that he is really dealing on. I will be looking at it on Sunday and this should handle my 3/16 plow with no problem.

Are you gonna be trailering this tractor back and forth (ie. 270 miles)? The 6530 will be a load to haul unless you have a semi with a lowboy trailer somewhere (halfway joking about the semi, but the 6530 weighs a 'bunch' more than the other one)...BobG in Va

No I just have to get it there.
