Ferguson 14A

[Rdw1121]

I don't know much about moldboard plows and I have found a Ferguson 14A 2 bottom plow. I have seen mixed information on the minimum HP need to pull a these and some people having trouble with hooking them up to a Kubota.
Will this hook up to a L3302 and will it pull it? Are replacement parts available?

Here is another picture from the moldboard side. They are asking

Tractor capability is more closely correlated to tractor weight than any other single specification.

It is more about tractor weight, which determines tractor TRACTION, rather than tractor horsepower.

Yes, a 4-WD Kubota L3302 will pull a Ferguson 14A2 2-bottom plow in good condition through moist soil just fine.

The Lower Link pins are a different heights on moldboard plows. You will need to adjust your TPH right Lifting Rod by screwing adjustment on right side in center, in or out, in order to mount the plow. Not difficult.

Creating beautiful furrows takes a while to learn. Persevere.

Thanks Jeff….

Are replacement parts available?

Yes. But as not many new plows are sold these days, replacement parts may take some shopping. If that Ferguson plow is in unaltered / unbent state it should invert soil for fifteen to twenty years without needing wear parts, plowing in reasonable soil.

The Ferguson plow you picture is around 70 years of age.

From your photos it looks to me like the plowshares have both been replaced. Rust us the enemy of all plows. Try to find a place where you can store it in the dry and put some scrap wood or ? under those plowshares to avoid rust damage. I think you can pull it without much trouble but you will need to spend some time playing with it to get the behavior you want.

I haven't went and looked at it yet, its 4-1/2 hrs one way from me. So far its the best looking one I have seen under $1000.

Good heavens you should not have to pay that kind of money. There have to be a lot of old 3pt hitch configured 2 row plows around. Pretty much no demand for them anymore as farming on larger scale uses much different tillage and on a small scale they are out of business, only do it as a hobby, or don't deal in equipment any more. At some point in history there had to be more of those "3pt , 2 plow" units around than any other kind. Don't know about Texas but in the east places like WV have a statewide "Market Bulletin" where individuals advertise farm equipment, often older stuff. Tried Craig's List or similar on-line sources?

Plow shares were difficult to find. Mine came with deep sink shares - long front tip draws the shares into the ground quickly. Broke one on a rock. I eventually found an Amish person who makes them for more than I paid for the plow, $260 if I remember. I found replaceable shares with close fit on line. It took drilling and countersinking a new hole in one place but back working. In the meantime I bought a King Kutter 2 bottom new - it turned out to be a piece of junk. Ferguson much better but you need to search for, and greet creative on parts.
