E HYDRO PLOWING

[Bigblockkim]

Hi everyone, Just got done plowing with my 3520. Pulling 2-14s averaging around 4mph in limestone sod that hasnt been plowed for the 28 years we have lived here. The depth was at around 8in. and we plowed a little over an acre. I can honestly say that this tractor plows as good if not better then any gear tractor i have owned, and with the dreaded R4 tires.

All that, and no pictures? Shame on you! Seriously, sounds like you had a great day, congrats.

Welcome to TBN

As you have proved, there is nothing wrong with plowing with hydrostatic transmissions, but there sure is a lot of people who will tell you otherwise!
Now this R4 thing could start a fight

Hiya,

Silly me, I saw the title and figured you were plowing snow.... My bad, I guess I'm so used to plowing it ever other day since November I think everyone does.

Sounds like that 3520 can "get er done"

I would rather plow than mow with my 2305

I plow with my 4120 and R-4's. Sometimes I have to lock in 4WD. The only real issue I deal with is the ground is uneven and there is no draft control. So sometimes I'll have to back up and do a section over.

Do you have cruise control on your tractor? If not, your foot will get tired. Discing one of my 30 acre fields with my 4720 e-hydro convinced me to get the cruise added.
