2 bottom plow

   / 2 bottom plow #21  
Did you have filled tires? Did you have any wheel weights? Agreed and very good point, a sharp clean plow does require less effort to pull.


Yep! We filled tires with Calc mix, about 10lbs per gallon. They didn't need wheel weights after that. Dad bought the F40 in 1956. Tires were filled when new. He put new rubber on it sometime around 1970 or 71 to the best of my recollection. Fluid was transferred from old rubber to new. That SAME cacl/water mix is STILL in the rears. When I finally get arout to doing a resto on the old horse, I'll move the fluid into new tires again. Yeah, I'm that cheap....... :eek:

FMJ; those are not nice words you are calling me. Do I call you Names that should not be posted on this type of site? :(

Ploughs come in many different sises. The use of a plough requires no great skill. In the farm lands of the Prairies almost every farmer had a plough. Granted very few were of the three point hitch variety as the tractor with a three point hitch at that time were not common for various reasons. The major one being to small. Most were a draw bar pull type pulled by tractors that did not have adjustable wheels. All had adjustments that the farmer of day knew how to use and adjust to suit his tractor and the conditions he was ploughing in. There was no resident Plough Guru that traveled the country to set up ploughs as all the residents were gurus!

Ploughs have evolved to suit different needs and different means of pulling over the years. What worked best for a two bottom horse drawn plough may not be compatible to a plough being drawn at probably three times the speed by some of todays larger tractors.

And yes they did leave dead furrows but that is quite common when the fields get a little larger and driving across the headland gets tiresome because it is not productive time.

Does any knowledge that is not within your ken cause you so much angst you must call people disgusting Names?:(

Most of the Prairie Farmers had loaded tires plus wheel weights!:D

So why do you INSIST on ACTING like one?

So why do you assume that was directed at you, unless it struck a raw nerve? YOU were NOT quoted....so, why should you assume it was intended for your benefit?

In spite of your alleged vast wealth of knowledge, the plains of Canada ARE NOT the only farming areas in the world. Different methods were used in various locations. In the US plains states, FAR more semi-mounted plows were sold than drawn types for well over 3 decades (until plow sales declined in the 80's). MOST tractors used there, regardless of size, were equipped with 3-point hitch's. In most of the southern US, mounted plows outsold drawn types by a 10 to 1 margin once 3-point hitches were common. I don't know of ANY drawn plows of less than 6 bottoms marketed beyond the lates 1960's. They were all but totally obsolete by that point. (And the rest of us are still talking about a 1 or 2 bottom plow for the OP's needs) But ALL of that is irrellevent in light of the topic of THIS THREAD, which IS which 3-point mounted plow is best for the OP's 32 hp tractor, and NOT ANOTHER one of your fanatical attempts to start an arguement based on subject matter irrellevent to the question at hand.


Now go ahead and whine to the moderators....again.....
