I go to several shows , plow days ,etc . I have a 37 JD B and 44 # trip plow , 2/ 14 , This is a pull type , trailer plow . The B weighs 2750# and has 12. 5 at the drawbar . It will pull circles around those Fords . Do you notice all of the ford plows are mounted , so you can cheat ? The above poster is correct , scratching . BTW this plow will stay in the ground . When the ford starts spinning the wheels , it digs a hole and activates the cheater and away you go .
Yeah, I grew up around plowing contests too. The pull type guys never liked the mounted plow guys. Mounted was so much more efficient, especially at the end of the fields. Some contests here even separated them into different classes to calm the frustration.
