Need help with plow?

That looks like a dearborn to me, very collectable to the ford N crowd. I bought one ten years ago for $200 without coulters for my 2N. They are absolutely correct in that the tractor should spin before damage is done.
Mine worked very well, but you might want to use a ripper near those trees first and no 4WD!!!

No, I would never buy another!!! I must say I was pulling it with a 70 horse Kubota, so I overpowered it, I suppose.

Ya think?

Hey guys thanks for the info I think i will pull the triger and buy it . I will try to be carefull around the trees which may be hard as i am putting in food plots by the river lot of trees but i will be carefull and no 4x4 . but should make my garden work lot easyer. Thanks agian.

Just a reminder, the Ford n's were rated at 21 hp, you are still quite a bit larger than that... Ya might want to keep it shallow at first, limits how much grabbin the plow will do. I still recommend ripping the heck out of it first.

I have a box scraper i can rip it with that you think that will help? or will it just clog up?

Unless the undergrowth is knee high or taller, those coulters will take care of the sod. Plow on Ken Sweet

Hi guys i have found a 2 bottom plow the guy dosent no much about it. I was wondering if anyone knows what kind it is? and if its worth $175. dollars. What do i need to look for ? What can go wrong with them? I would want to use it for food plots right away. Thanks in advance .

if its all there thats one **** of a deal. They are usually around $250 for a double at the lowest i see them for sale. Some say between $100-$150 a bottom on price.

No we mowed it all down nice then we tried to disc lol trust me didnt work well at all that is why i am looking for plow from reading in here i belive i need to mow first then plow and then disc this ground has never been worked before that i know of mostly just pasture and open areas in the woods very sandy ground here in nebraska along the river. We want to plant food plots i belive once we get the ground worked will get easy every year after that.

BB will work , lower the rippers all the way and shorten your top link up to get deeper penetration. The soil/grass/sod clods will gather up in the box though and you have to keep lifting it to clear it unless you let it flow out the top. I know i have tried ripping with the BB. Im bar dirt or killed grass it will work fairly well, i put a new flower bed in at the house ripping roundup killed grass with nothing but the rippers on my BB. Granted the clods were big in the red clay but it softened it enough to dig holes for flowers then was covered in pinestraw.

Yeah i tried round up and tried burning it off still didnt work going str to the disc didnt have box blade then so things should get lot easy with new equipment.
