3-Point Hitch furrow plow to big

coupman35 · Jul 18, 2018

Just pick up this nice massy furrow plow today. When I got home started to look at it closer and notice the 3 pth are to big for my b2650 the pin are 1 1/8 big and the plow is very heavy . Now wondering if I can make it fit , can my tractor pull it whit

hout braking anything. The plow a model 70 3 furrow. what do you think

Unless you have light easy pulling soil I doubt that a Kubota B2650 would pull a 3 bottom plow.

Not sure but it might lift it.

You could always remove one of the plows (left side) from the frame. The Cat.II pins are your big problem.

Myself, I would look for a better set of 14" two bottom plows with Cat. I hitch pins. Smaller and lighter, which would make it a much better fit for your Kubota.

I don't think this is going to work. It's wayyyy too much plow for your tractor. If you can get it attached to the tractor I don't think you'll be able to lift it more than a few inches off the ground at best. Your lift arms are going to be most of the way up by the time to hitch it.

If you park your tractor beside this plow it will start weeping.....

Edit: I pull this same plow with my Ford.

Nice looking plow-but way too big for any B. 2-12" plows are all that are recommended for my L3560.

Thanks guy I but the plow back up for sale .After seeing how big it was beside the tractor I was sure it was to bit. So tomorrow am going to see a 1 furrow massy plow I think this will be a better plow for my tractor.

Or a good reason to get a bigger tractor.

Nice plow, and I'd like to have it but it's about 3 times too big for your 2650. Indeed, my L6060 with draft control would not touch that plow in my ground.

If you really want to plow with a 2650, look for a 1X12 plow. Better yet, get a roto tiller.

Way to big a plow for a compact tractor, even 2 bottoms are to much for a 2650. Since its already yours take 1 bottom off and make a new frame save the other 2 bottoms for parts and scrap the rest.

I had a 2x14 rope trip trailer plow I converted to 1 bottom and 3 pth, did a fine job plowing.

I did the same with an Allis Chalmers that I converted to 3pt hitch, does a good job. I would like to see some pictures of yours.

The plow is Cat 1. The tractor is Cat 0.

Unfortunately I no longer have the plow. I didn't use it after going to raised beds.

The plow is actually Category II as the OP stated the pins are 1.125" diameter. Category I is 0.875"

Nonetheless, the plow is too big for the OP's tractor. A single bottom 14" (preferred) or a 2 bottom 14" (ok) would be better.

The old 19hp Farmall C can pull 2-14's.

The new single bottom plow you got is nice! I have the same one but a little older...my A-frame is all cast iron where yours is fabricated steel. The front "wheel" is called a coulter, by the way! I just re-bushed the furrow wheel on mine last week...check to see if it's wobbly on its shaft. If it is, you need to bore it and install a bushing...it's just steel on steel with a grease fitting. I ground the rivets off the hub, chucked it up in the lathe and indicated it true, bored it out then made/installed a new bushing with a very LIGHT press fit...worked like a champ.

OK, let's see it in action now. Drop that thing in the dirt and let it rip. Did you mention what implement you will be using after the plow and what you'll be doing with the ground after it's worked?
